The violence in Philadelphia is bad...very bad...people out of the blue getting hurt and kiling people for no reason. Sometimes there is a reason but there’s no reason for a person to kill another person.
Like my hood if you walk down the street and you don’t live down there u would get jumped are getting ran out the hood. The act of violence in Philadelphia is horrible, we need to be ashamed about how we acing because it’s unneeded.

I realize NYC is 6 times the size of Philadelphia but in 2005 NYC had 4 times as many violent crimes as Philly, but you never hear about NYC being an unsafe place to live. If NYC has 40,000 violent crimes per year and Philly’s has 10,000 violent crimes, in reality which place is more unsafe? I could show you a crime map of NYC, Chicago, DC, and La that would make you never want to step within 1000 miles of those cities.

Crime is everywhere in the cities. Certain sections are where 95% of the crimes take place. Is there spillover into what are seemingly safe neighborhoods? Yes but its exception not the norm. Just like Manhattan is going to be safer than parts of the Bronx/Queens, Center City is going to be safer than West/North Philly

Statistically you're more likely to die in a car crash driving around in suburbia than you are to die as an innocent victim of gun violence in the city.

(You're also much more likely to die on the drive to the airport than you are in the plane. People fear irrational phenomena because they don't feel in control of their lives, not because of actual risk analysis.)

As for Philly's housing values, it's not "worth it" to live anywhere but the exurban fringe of a Sunbelt city (say, Phoenix) if you're doing a strictly economic comparison of housing prices and incomes. But people value intangibles (culture, lifestyles, family). That's why people pay $2,000 a month for apartments the size of boxes in Manhattan. They're not crazy; they're just putting value in other things.

Philadelphia's housing has been historically undervalued when compared to its peers in the Northeast (NY, Boston, DC). Philly's basically playing catch-up now

There's a lot of volonce going on in Philly. In my opinion the most dangerous part of the city is 52nd and Market street It was not that long ago, that 52nd and Market were hailed as the "Main Street" of West Philly;seemingly it had so much to offer.

Thanks to tit being the state-of-the-art transportation hub, there is plenty of hustle and bustle as folks came from far and wide to take advantage of its unique shops, dynamite restaurants, and classy nightclubs.

But like so many other once-proud sections of the city, this area has suffered a devastating fall from grace.This formerly thriving thoroughfare is pockmarked with boarded-up storefronts, dive bars, careless drug dealers, and roaming bands of lost souls who lurk in the shadow of the Market-Frankford El.
living and growing up in the area and see it deteriorate is very painful i just wish that things can change for the better because is a thurving city of brotherly love where have all the love gone? i would hate to have my childern to grow up in this city because i'm so scraed that something jeapordize their future we need to clean up our acts and our cities

Today i thought that the visitors told me things that i thought were interesting. They told me about most of their religions and also food and clothes. The visitors came to the class rooms during the tour telling the other students about where they came from and what it's like there. The students would be interested with these teachers because the student want to learn the different languages the visitors know and are able to teach, as so am i. Some of them were from Mylassia, Algeria, Egypt, and more. They also showed us there currents from where they're from. I think that this encounter with these visitors will be a pleasent experience.

Today in class i read a piece. I read a article on youth rights. It was saying that youth need to get known more and adults need to pay more attetion to their youth. For example they said that children need more rec centers and organizations like that. There was a couple of things that i didnt under stand one thing was that it was talking about migration and youth and didnt under stand it. Also I didnt understand that the age part of the article.

Basically the article is telling me about the difference between men and women to be migrants but focuses on the women. It is also describing how hard it is for the migrant women to find good jobs to take care of their families on the income they receive. Next the article goes into the help that the women overseas get from our government it’s not much but it keeps the children clothed and educated. Also it explains the difference from the 1990’s and now. Basically now our government helps migrants here in the U.S.

Trafficking women is done to most immigrants. They under pay the women. They tell them the grass is greener over here. When the women get here they are underpaid. The women don’t complain because what they make is a lot compared to what they make in their Country.

why did migrating started?
why do people want migrating?
why women like

and i know that people like mrigrating and it can help you and it do a lot to people

the article I have read was about women and mi gration and
For a long time, the issue of women migrants has been low on the international policy agenda. Today, the world has a unique opportunity to change this: For the first time, government representatives from around the globe will be attending a United Nations session specifically devoted to migration. The 2006 High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development offers a critical opportunity to ensure that the voices of migrant women are heard. The explicit recognition of the human rights of women and the need for gender equality is a basic prerequisite of any sound, equitable and effective policy framework that seeks to manage migration in an orderly and humane manner
how do you feel about migration?
do you know anybody thats in migration?

This article on Proverty of rights on a child is about how over in Ghana, West Africa, parents are selling there children for high as $180 to as low as $5 to fisherman because they were so poor. Fortunately, little over 1200 children were reunited with there family thankfully to Ernest Taylor. But that was only a small fraction of Ghana.

I have 4 questions about this situation:
1. Why would they let there parents sell there children to fisherman under 5?

2. Who came up with the idea to let parents sell there children?

3. How could any parent sell there child for as low as $5?

4. I wonder if this still could be in effect even if they say its over in that part of Ghana.

Immagration is important to me because some of my family are immagrents and it would affect me if they had to leave out of the country. It would make me highly upset if i had to leave relatives. They are immagrants from Mexico, Africa and somewhere elese. They are not close relatives but family is family.

If immigration effect you?
I think immigration does effect you I believe it effect everybody. You don't have to move to a different country you could just move into a different area of your city. So, yes i do believe migration do effect me and everyone else and it is very important.

I think immigration does effect me because today in schools, if you are not from this country and you don't speak english well, kids may tease you and that can be resulted in having to go through all this drama because somebody talking about an immigrant. Actually, this can go on any where like public places. It effects me here because I have to worry about how this immigrant will take it.

i dont think immagration and migration effects me because it doesnt play a big part in my life. yes i have friend swhos ancestors we immagrants so that doesnt play a big part in my life

we i think imagration effects me because now people would do any to get work. people that are imagration don't play they just get there work done and people that's not in immargation they play around to much and then all you going to see is immagrations getting all the good jobs. well that's what i think
