Where do missing people go?

Over a month ago, a family friend, 47 years old, was with his family and calmly asked his parents for some money. They gave him $60. He told everyone he was going to the cottage. That was the last time anyone saw Bob.

Every time I ride the subway, another face is flashed across the screens installed in the stations. Today, it’s sadly the same kid who I saw on the screen last year. The people on these bulletins have usually been missing for five years or more. Is there even a point of searching for them anymore?

I always wondered how the police could not find a missing person. Perhaps they did not wish to be found, but many of the faces I saw were only kids. They could have at least sent a letter saying they were okay.

Being so close to this investigation gave me a grim look into the search for a missing person. With no transactions on bank accounts and no sightings since leaving Toronto, there were no leads for police to follow. After a month of investigation, police divers searching the waters close to the cottage and countless friends searching surrounding areas and camp areas, everyone came up empty.

The question begs: Where is his silver Honda? Where is Bob? And why can no one find him?

My responce to the community walk

This was my favorite picture from the community walk because I was glad to see that the community gave tribute to the Philadelphia Negro League because a lot of black people do not recieve a lot of credit and for them to have a whole memorial deicated to the Philadelphia Baseball Negro League its a step up from not reconizing black people at all.

Will online social networks ever become manditory?
About this category: Technology & Innovation


I was thinking about this the other day. Similar to MySpace, a social networking site that many North Americans will likely be familiar with is a site called Facebook. Facebook was originally created specifically for university students to network, send messages and share photos, among other things. At one time, it was only open to university students and you could only signup using your registered school email account.

While not all of my friends have Facebook, those who don't login using other user's accounts to check what is happening regularly -- without doing it, you find yourself out of the loop on friend's lives. This just goes to prove that right now, Facebook is essential to most student's social lives.

Today, anyone can join -- students at any age level, adults, teens and even those who are not attending school. I find now that more than ever, my life revolves around Facebook. Want to know what everyone is up to this weekend? Check Facebook. Want to see photos from the other night? Check Facebook. Need to message your friend who isn't online? GO TO FACEBOOK.

I find that increasingly, it becomes a central place for friends to meet online and share what is going on. Without it, those who are not already insanely social miss out.

Similar to checking email and phone messages, most students today seem to login to Facebook at least once per day -- and that's just the start. More and more frequently now, people will reply faster on Facebook than to emails, especially when it comes to social interaction and with that, people are on MSN less often.

What I wonder is this: Will there be a day when online social networks such as Facebook, MySpace or even TIG will become a manditory part of your day? Let me know what you think!

Global Warming

I dont really think that global warming will affect me in my life time. I mean sure its causing the polar ice caps to melt but it really won't affect the world until later generations where the sea levels rise above where tey are now, submearsing most cities on the coast in water. I thinkto help slow this process we should use less gas for example get a hybrid care instead of a hummer. Also to slow the process you could use solar power instead of gasor oil.

Migration
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


The British collected a number of Nepalese youngsters to the British armed forces. And they collected migrants to come and work for them. They used the migrants of Nepalese for employment purposes only. There are many villages in Nepal where labor migration has been established as a culture of a community.
Economic migration to the Middle East from South Asia and other parts of the world was spurred-on by the oil boom in the early 1970s.

Why do they need migrants to work for them?
How could they end migration?

Migration
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


Woman migration
The article was about woman migration
The relating article didn’t have any solutions to solve the other one problems
So our solutions are to let it be both men and woman to make it easier and its more helpful.

Labor
Parents had to sell their children for money because they was poor and they couldn’t afford them
Our solutions is that they can fundraise or donate money
Another solution is that they can get more jobs or maybe having school for the kids

Youth Right
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


The image of youth today is to be seen and not heard by the adult population. Today the teenage population is being the most rebelus population. It is also been taken advantage by most of the adult population, espeicaly since adolences have been able to be employed for part time jobs. On daily occation teenagers have been talked down to by adults. Teenagers rights are highly redused by Gaurdians and by law.

How are the rights of youth violated by migration?
Do youths have a right to migration aswell as adults?
Is there anyway youth can cause any form of migration?

Xenophobia and Discrimination
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


The article's topic was based on xenophobia and discrimination. The article was talking about how a man named Simon attented a christmas party that was organized by the manager from work. The people who also attented were some of his friends. Simon stayed in a small group of people that consisted of students, engineers, IT specialist, lawyers, and laboures. They were all having a good discussion until it became political. A man named Phil introduced his thoughts of manners. He stated that he can't believe those bastards killed our children in Bali. Kick them, send them back to where they belong. They can't fit in with our, the Australian. Simon stated his opinion about what Phil said and Simon asked Phil you are trying to say that we should deport, kick out, detain every single Muslim and person who doesn't fit into of society? You are telling me that al Muslims are terrorist and all of them hate us? Phil said yes. Simon felt as though that was vey ignorant and discrminating because he felt like all Muslims aren't terroist and everyone should be treated equally. He also thought that people discriminating other people was over and thar was over a hundred yeas ago.

Do you think what Phil said was worng?

Do you think other people think that all Muslims are terrorsits?

Are their more people like Phil still out there?

Does discrimination still exist agianst other races?

What can we do to prevent it?

WOMEN IMMIGRATION
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development
About this category: Human Rights & Equity


THE ARTICAL THAT I JUST READ ABOUT WAS ABOUT THE CASE OF WOMEN MIGRATING TO THE UNITED STATES OR ANY WHERE ELSE. ALMOST A HUGE AMOUNT OF THE PEOPLE WHO MIGRATE, ARE WOMEN OF ALL DIFFERENT AGES AND SMALL, YOUNG CHILDREN. 95 MILLION OF THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE MIGRATED IN THE LAST FOURTY YEARS HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO BE WOMEN. THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICAL SAID IT WAS IMPORTANT TO GET THE IMFORMATION OUT THERE BECAUSE WHEN WOMEN MIGRATE, THEY DO IT FOR A NOUMEROUS AMOUNT OF REASONS LIKE POVERTY, STARVATION, HOMELESSNESS, AND MUCH MORE. ALTHOUGH IT IS A FACT THAT MEN SEEM TO BE ALMOST MORE LIABLE TO RECIEVE BETTER JOBS AND ALL, WOMEN CAN DO JUST AS GOOD. WOMEN WHO'VE MIGRATED THAT WOTK OVER SEA'S SEND ALMOST EVERYTHING THAT THEY EARN HOME TO THEIR FAMILIES. THIS SHOWS THAT WOMEN CAN DO ALOT MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

1. IS IT EVER EASY TO MIGRATE?

2. DO YOU LIKE THE PLACE THAT YOU MIGRATE TO?

3. DO YOU FACE ANY DISCRIMINATION WHEN YOU MIGRATE?

4. DO YOU EVER FEEL ANY REGRETS TOWARDS YOUR MIGRATION?

Immigration and Me
About this event: 2006 United Nations Conference on Human Rights Migration and Development


Immigration affects me everday. I mean every where I go I come across an immigrant, whether it be at the local corner store , construction site, or just on the street. This affects me , through the fact that I dont judge on for their race. Also if it were not for immigrant I and most other people would not be here today.

A reflection on today at the UN day celebration
About this event: United Nations Day 2006



What I thought about today was that I think that we weren’t as prepared as we could have been because I really didn’t comprehend a lot of what they were talking about as far the lady answering the other student’s questions. It wasn’t really a big issue as far as us being prepared because the students from the other school actually take a class that deals with human rights and migration.
Our school went to the UN day to learn other information the migration and the other 5 topics. When we broke up into our small group discussions I was in the group concerning children’s rights. I thought my group was interesting and I learn a lot about children’s rights. There was a girl named Jenifer in my group and she went to Delaware Valley Friends. I not sure what grade she was in but she knew a lot about children’s rights. My Facilitator named was Sara Kitchen and she told us that she started to want to be involved in children’s rights when she was a teenager and she worked as a waitress at a dinner in Massachusetts she overheard two guards that worked at a school a mile away from her home would talk about how they would torture the young men that went to the school. That situation made her want to go into the fields of children’s rights so she studied law and decided after a while to go from law to the classroom and now she is a professor at Chestnut Hill College.
Some of the things I learned The Convention on the Rights of the child is part of education and core curriculums around the world, parents leave their homes to migrate and sometime they take their children with them or they leave them with family members Children migrate to the U.S. so that they can get a better education to receive better jobs some become citizens of the United States others go back to their country, if a child were migrating to come to a Quaker school they could do community service to receive a green card or they can go back to their country, also if they are in a quarter school they would learn the religion if they are a Quaker, and they can easily be abused. This was a good opportunity because I learned a lot about children’s rights and that’s something I wouldn’t mind studying in the future I can’t wait to learn more when everybody come on Dec.1.
