Making the invisble, visible

For third trimester, our new unit was human right. In this unit, we search about human trafficking in Malaysia. In Malaysia, there are lot's of human right abuse is happening. Reason is people from other country come to Malaysia to work. And country that send their people are poor country than Malaysia.

In this unit, searching sources and understanding what's Human Trafficking is was challenge for me. Because, at first, I was really didn't know what was human trafficking at all, and after classmates tell me human trafficking is slavery, I could not believe because if Human Trafficking is same with slavery, why they used word "Human Trafficking" rather than "Slavery"? And now, I understand what is Human Trafficking. For search sources, some articled are deleted and some are not able to believe 100% like Wikipedia.

This unit is important with me because we are living in Malaysia, so by learning HT in Malaysia, we can become more safe. And, by knowing these knowledge, we can share these information with our neighbor about what to careful.

Surprised that NGO estimate about 30,000 people don't have birth certificates. Because these people who don't have birth certificates will live without any safe. They could not get jobs, they are not safe whole time, and could get trafficked!

This issue makes me feel little bit worry. The reason is we are living in Malaysia and we could get HT. Who knows? But, in other way, I feel safe than last time, because by learning HT in Malaysia and knowing information, we now know what we need to be careful.

Sang Woo, Kim


Summary
The number of people who consume energy drinks increase clearly after energy drinks’ popularity increase. But, will energy drinks give only benefit to our health? unfortunately, energy drinks don’t give any benefit to our health. No, it’s even harmful to our health. These drinks already have taken lot’s of people’s lives. Additionally, Korea’s wrong alcohol-culture lead our people into danger. Then, what’s the effect of energy drinks to health? And, which accident are related to energy drinks?


Essay
Energy drink is one kind of stimulant which affect huge scale of improvement of focus, fatigue recovery, stress reduction, and other benefits. And, energy drink contains a large amount of caffeine that other stimulant drinks can not compete with. Presently, there are too much people who drinks energy drinks. I searched internet to know actual state about energy drinks. There were more people who look for energy drinks than I thought. While searching, I found plenty of writing about energy drink by students, workers, and drivers. It seems so many different groups of people drink it for their own purpose. People should ban consume energy drink and should not consume energy drink, because causes lot’s of health problem.

As energy drink’s popularity goes up, more accident events are happening. Between 2005 and 2009, hospital had 10 times of patients who came to emergency room that relate with energy-drinks. Danger of energy drink didn’t spread to society yet, which meant plenty of people doesn’t know how much energy drink is dangerous for their health and consume energy drinks. Present, tolerable amount of drinking caffeine per day is: adults are 400mg, pregnant women are 300mg, teens and kids are under 2.5mg/per kg. If you get over these tolerable amount of caffeine, you could get side effect, which are sleep disorder, caffeine addiction, lack of minerals, and more. But, energy drink’s amount of caffeine has overwhelmed any other drinks products. By Drinking one can(325ml) of ‘Monster Java Kona’, one will intake 9 times of cola’s(250ml) caffeine. in other words, drinking 2 ‘Monster Java Kona’ will make you sick because it exceed daily tolerable amount of caffeine. If one consumed too much caffeine, heart rate pumping faster than normal situation, which could cause heart attack. Additionally, caffeine takes water from your skin, so skin could become dry, haggard and skin trouble, skin aging happens due to having more sebum by capillary getting expense. And when teens exceed caffeine, calcium doesn’t absorb by born smoothly and causes osteoporosis. When osteoporosis happen, born become really weak. Other than these, anxiety, nervous, sleep disorder also happens.

We should not consume energy drink because it made a lot of serious accident. Last 4 years, FDA got 92 reports about occur, hospitalization, death(13 cases) that related to energy drinks. Sally Burgess from FDA noticed “People whose going to drink Energy-Drinks should meet with doctor first” because “People who has chronic disease, chronic disease could become worse by drinking Energy-Drinks.” and warmed “Energy-Drinks could not replace for sleep and relaxation.” There is popular event that happened by energy drink. In Hagerstown, Maryland, Anais Fournier(14) died on December 23, 2011 by heart attack. Before 24 hours she died, she drink 2 cans of ‘Monster’, which is 680g/per can. Result of autopsy, Fournier died by caffeinism Which causes heart attack. Fournier had hereditary disease that could causes blood vessel be weaken. After she died, Fournier’s family lawsuit ‘Monster’ company because company did not warned danger of monster drinks.

But, how does these dangerous energy drinks are still in display counter? At Present, caffeine is cataloged as nutrition, so it is not restricted in the law. Due to small amount of caffeine are benefit to health. But, this is for enough caffeine amount. In other word, died people who are relate with energy drink proof that energy drinks contains enough caffeine to kill people.

Then, how does other country deal with energy drink? Some advanced countries already deal with energy drink by their own solution. In some countries, they banned Energy-Drinks in country, such as France, Denmark, Turkey. And in Norway, people can’t sell Energy-Drinks whose under 15. But, these countries have reasons why they restrict energy drink. In France, after student who drink ‘Red Bull’ and played basketball died by heart attack, France restrict ‘Red Bull’, and in Norway and Denmark cataloged energy drinks as medicine due to having too much caffeine in energy drink. Even though government could earn a lot of money by this energy drinks, they restricted energy drinks for their people.

Like other countries, aren’t our country should make law about energy drink? My opinion about caffeine is ‘We should restrict it by law’. Even though there weren’t any accident happened inside our country, right now our country does not have any law about caffeine, which energy drinks are being sell free without any restriction about caffeine which accident could be happen to us. For this reason, I think we should restrict amount of caffeine inside energy drink or could not sell to teens or young people who did not grown up. In other word, I think our country should take action before any accident happens.

According to UNICEF, in Philippines, 23% of people live below international poverty line of US$1.25 per day. (2000-2009*) With this money a day, they will not able to eat proper meals and they can’t get a house. By these reasons, people live place like streets, dumpsites. Streets and dumpsites is very difficult, dangerous, dirty place to live. A boy name Kesz, the International Peace Prize Winner 2012, who lived in a dumpsite where there was no education or healthcare had a warm heart. Kesz recognised that Mr.Harnin, who saved Kesz’s life loved him because he took Kesz to hospital when he got burned from dumpsite and continued to care for him and give him an education. For Kesz, meeting Mr.Harnin was his turning point of his ‘whole’ life. Kesz wanted to share love with other poor children. He made his mind to do something worth fighting for such as educate them so that they could stand up for their rights. For those poor children, Kesz is the only light of this dystopian world. Nowadays, Kesz is teaching street children about basic hygiene and hopes.

Living in a dumpsite is a dystopia to innocent children, so Kesz, once a street himself, thinks educating street children about hygiene and hope could make a difference to their lives. Kesz planned his own organization, which calls ‘Championing Community Children’ which aimed to give hopes to street children by showing them that they can take their future into their own hands. At Championing Community Children, he tells that they could make their future by learning. If street children grow up with lack of skills, than they will not able to adapt to this society because they can’t get any good jobs with that knowledge. Kesz worries about these happenings so he’s teaching street children to have better future. And also, ‘Championing Community Children’ teaches basic hygiene to street children once a week. Basic hygiene is also very important, because in poor side in Philippines, children are getting unhealthy due to lack of knowledge about health, they don’t how to take care of themselves. They don’t brush their teeth and they don’t even know washing their hands is basic hygiene and it’s important, Kesz thinks, street children should know basic hygiene and be aware of health threatening problems they face in their lives. It’s important that street children stay healthy because it is one of the most important thing to live on but before Kesz educate to street children, they lived without knowing basic hygiene so they were always exposure to sickness and illness.

Kesz received love from other persons and now he knows he has to share love and hope with others. When Kesz got burns, he has been rescued by Mr. Harnin. When he got rescued by him, Kesz got first love from another person. And this event made Kesz want to share love with others. Kesz lived in a dumpsite without any love, so he don’t know what will love feels like. And there was very important event that make Kesz to recognise what’s love. After that big event, Kesz want to share love with street children as ‘My Father’ share love with me. When Kesz was 7 years old, he didn’t want to get any birthday presents. Instead of getting presents from other people, he uses his birthday to give presents to other people.Kesz know that street children are similar to Kesz’s life before he met Mr. Harnin, which mean by giving small presents to street children, they will get hopes and they will knew that they have love as Kesz got from Mr. Harnin.

Until now, Kesz works for Philippines’ street children those living without home by educating them and sharing hope. By teaching them about how to take care of their health themselves and sharing hope by giving gift. By giving these to street children, they will have more knowledge and they could stay healthy by knowing basic hygiene. Kesz hopes that their future will be more utopia.

I Have a Dream

“I have a dream today... That one day... little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today.” Aug 28, 1963

Martin Luther King, Jr. said this at Washington, D.C. to millions of people who wanted to stop racism. King believed that racism is bad things because people are not equal to one anther. When I read book, black people are giving same money and get less service And anther big thing is that in this period, America doesn't give vote permissions to black people. The only risen why they don't gave vote permission is black people have black skins.


I think racism is very bad thing because it's taking away equality and freedom. (I already gave why it isn't equal in Q1) American took away vote permit-ion and it's smiler like 'The Knife Of Never Letting Go' that Mayor burn all the books to control people in Prentiss Town.


People should fight for equality because it's not fare to black people. Because of skin color, Americans treat them and use like animal that in the zoo (animal show). Black people are people! So they need to get people service, not animal service.

What Is Most Important?

I think in this conmunity need to have 'Education'. I think education is most important because in this city, technology and other things are build up with education. For exsample, Apple company, they are using very high technology and idea. But, where does this high technology and idea came from? It's only one answer. It come from study. For this reason I think Education is most important.
