The video is twelve minutes interview with David Batstone, author of "Not for Sale", who talks about human trafficking among America. At least 200,000 women are the victims of human trafficking and it is not just immigrant who have to deal with the trafficking problem but rather the entire US citizens are vulnerable to this illigal sex industry. Some people trick women in third country for American dream (money and education) to lure them to America. But when they do come, people incharge immediately take away the Visa and passports and force women, mostly teenagers, to work. There seems to be a pattern to this trafficking process, that in first 24 hours the women get physically abused to let them know that they are slaves and the guys own them. After giving physical pressures and brain washes, they then lead women to sex industry. Because of the shamefulness that the women feel from themselves, their minds are distorted. By this time, they are mentally chained to the sex industry. And for some cultures, because of what the women had done, they are not welcomed to come back.
Shockingly, more than half of the human trafficking relates to sex industry and the rest of the trafficked women and children are forced to work in restorants and hotels.
The author also tells how women are being completely controlled and how human trafficking is closely related our daily lives. He also talks about how to distinguish women being traffick and are not.
When we do see one, it is not safe and right to act as a one person or individually but rather contact Health and Human Services (federal agency) by calling 888-7373-888.

Human Trafficking (James Kim) -Article-
The author of this article is not displaying his personality but more of which side he is taking. The author is very brief of what the victims had to go through in their captivity rather than complaints of his feeling. However he was able to show some evidence that he was taking sides by supporting the fact that the victim has gone through hard events and so forth. Also by saying some comments to the U.S.A. that they should be taking the issue a lot more serious. The author also portrays some morality that should be shown and pittyed among those that went and will go through the factors of "human trafficking" by showing the poor families that lost a family member and recieving only money in return rather than a person's life.

Haesun: Ghosts
http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=qSbqcrVnjNw
Ghosts is a film directed by Nick Broomfield. It is about a Chinese mother who comes to the UK to earn money for the family. Before she came, she was filled with hopes of becoming wealthy and going back to China with a lot of money. However, when she arrived, the situations were horrible. She was not treated well; she was forced to work 24/7 and later, was put into sex slavery. The film has more of a documentary feel than a movie. Personally, I think that is more effective in showing the harshness of the lives of those involved in human trafficking. Despite the fact that it lacks excitement or fun, it is a very good piece in revealing what's really happening to the victims of human trafficking. It probably is not going to draw a lot of audience because of that, but it has more to offer than the other movies dealing with human trafficking.

Human trafficking
Annually selling over one million human beings are beaten, tortured, and raped. Human trafficking is not just a global problem. We should know our rights and make a stand againsthuman trafficking.
This was the theme and the message of this video.
These girls are treated like products and sold at such a low prise. It is just unethical to weight human's life with money. In a research, approximately 800000 people are trafficked annually across the international borders. And Human Trafficking is the third profiting illigal activity after illigal sales of drugs and weapons. And because it is such a profiting market, the growth of trafficking is even growing.

Human trafficking video2
This is the song of Morandi which is combined with the Human Trafficking
It shows how girls are being treated and how they suffer from human trafficing even after they've escaped from the camp. The vidoe is not official music vidoe but it fits well with the song and the theme.
Search inside
Why you feel so alone
Search back time
Song of faith you can change
People stop fighting
Seach inside
Why you feel so alone
Search back time
Song of faith you can change
People stop fighting
People stop fighting

People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better
Love is the answer
Search inside
Are there any more tears to cry
(Don't you wonder why)
Why you feel so alone
All against the world
(World, world)
Search back time
When you used to sing alone
(To the music of your soul)
Song of faith you can change
It's not too late
People stop fighting
Angels are crying
We can be better

Streotype
"What stereotypes do people have about you? What stereotypes do you have about other people? Are stereotypes beneficial or harmful? Why do you think this?"
I think the most common streotype comes from the way people look and where they are from. For example, when I was in America, the first words kids said to me was "are you Chinese?" This, however, is a streotype, based on my physical looks. Another typical steotype is that Koreans are good at math. It does not bother me that much but sometimes streotypes have become something like racisim and bias. I also have streotypes about people, especially towards the race. "All black people are good at sports, especially basket ball." "All black people smells bad." "All Chinese are dirty." Those are the kinds of streotypes that I have and sometimes those streotypes put me in a place where it makes me hard to get to know people or make friends. Most streotypes are harmless in a sense, but sometimes streotypes put some people away and makes it hard to cooperate and unite. Some streotypes hurt people and have unpleasant tone that causes breakdown in a group of various people.

Article Human Trafficking (James Kim)
The author of this article is a female that has strong feelings for women's rights. It is easily portrayed within the article with its words. Having a college that is "all women" is not ironic for the author supporting for women's rights. It is also said in the article that the people that are captured and put into streets do not even know what kind of human rights that they have. Most of the evidence and support that the author puts in her writing are mostly women that have strong morals. In my opinion I think the author thinks that only woman are able to help human trafficking disintegrate. The author is probably put onto this topic because she is a female and "females" are usually the people that are trafficked. Therefore she probably is able to put alot of feelings into her writing to get people's attention.
