Final Blog
For the final blog, I read the article about the recent raids done on Central American migrants. In the article, it talks about the biggest surprise raid done ever. Hundreds of migrants were traversing across the country, in what has said to been the peak of migrations for migrants. 371 Men, Woman, and Children were captured. Now, the article also talks about Alex Mensing, a member of the nonprofit group called  Pueblo Sin Fronteras. He was the leader of a similar migration last year, but he was not part of this one this year. But with recent deportations, he feared that if he were to make it, he would get sent back. Not only, but also along with the caravans raid in 2014, in 2017, there was also a raid on the freight trains called the “Beast”. “They want to kill us in our country,” a crying woman said as agents and police forced her into a van.  Many of the people got emotional and were very afraid of what was going to happen next. Many different reports also say that the men were getting very aggressive, and would not care about their children. As mentioned in the article, this raised many questions on what was going to happen next for illegal immigrants. If the biggest raid on the caravanas happened during the migration period, what will happen next. One thing the article could not answer. For the connection with IHSS, I feel the talk we had about immigration, and simply migration have influence my view on this article. Especially now that we are talking about civil rights, we can tie the fact that the people were treated like animals, without care or mercy.

The Education Gap

Read an article on a racial issue in America from the last five years, whether it is from an American newspaper or a foreign paper looking at American issues.  Briefly summarize the article information and then respond with what your evaluation as to what is going on, how it is being treated by the press, or anything else that you would like to say about it. The Education Gap Between Whites and African Americans In the United States:  Although we have changed our laws in the years since lawful segregation, the legacy that segregation has left lives on in the present day United States. This is particularly evident in the way we regard education, and even after integration there is still a large gap that lives between the way we education white children and the way we educate African American children. Many of the differences in this lie in the qualification and quality of teachers and curriculum and the contrasts in funding that resides in our school systems. It...

Where voting matters - El Salvador

Ashwin Dev Mr. Roddy IHSS 24 October 2018 Where Voting Matters - El Salvador The Salvadoran presidential elections are going to be held on February 4, 2019 with a second round in March if no candidate wins an outright majority. El Salvador has a limit for a single 5-year term which means that the current president,  Sánchez Cerén  will not be able to run for this election. This election is different from most in the past due to the new political parties law, which says that a single candidate from each party must be chosen before the date of the election. The two parties at the moment are apart of El Salvador's multi-party system which include the National Republic Alliance (ARENA, right wing) and the Farabundo Mart í National Liberation Front (FMLN, left wing) as well as 2 other new parties.  Arena has been out of power since 2009 however they have chosen a man named Carlos Calleja to represent them. Calleja is a 42 year old businessman who owns a chain of sup...

Sharing Economy- Luke

Luke Kirchner       After much thinking, I have realized that sharing economies can be created from almost anything. I decided to make create something about sharing home decor. This would include things like paintings, ornaments and other small things to decorate your house. One challenging thing that would need to be sorted out, would be the value of the objects. Art is very subjective and can be valued very differently by other people. The market would have to establish it self to truly assign a price to different pieces. This would be a great way to make some money off of pieces of art that usually aren't seen and this would allow the renter to spruce up their house.       An app would be used to connect people and would ask for necessary information. This would probably be more localized, so people could drive over and pick up, or vice-versa. Some sort of insurance/waiver would also have to be part of the process, to ensure the rente...
