Project 3: Jennifer R (Climate Change)

The United States government announced 2018 as the fourth warmest year on record. Overall, the past five years have been the five warmest years since record-keeping began in the late 1800s. Climate change is happening and many different causes such as flooding, sea level to rise and the Arctic is warming. This site also has a call to action, however, if we decide to make these changes it will take time to see results.

Here are two articles that talk about the effects of climate change.

Signs and Symptoms of Cell Phone Addiction

We take social media for granted and we don’t realize the harmful things about being addicted to the media. We depend a lot on our phones and when we don’t have them around we get anger, irritability, depress, and have anxiety. Our eyes can burn and strain from staring at the screen for a long period of time which can cause headaches. People develop neck problems from looking down at their phones. It can also be contained with germs. Some of the bacteria can be a life-threatening infection to the heart, bones, joints, and more. This is important because most people claim that they are not addicted or their pains aren’t caused because of their phone.

Human Trafficking

https://www.cnn.com/2015/11/10/americas/freedom-project-mexico-trafficking-survivor/index.html

Every year, millions of women and children are trafficked all around the world. Many of the victims are kidnapped while walking home, in the park or in their house. Others are deceived by the trafficker into thinking they are going to get a well-paid job in order to support their families. Unfortunately, when they arrive at their “workplace”  they realize that the job they applied doesn’t exist. But it’s too late to go back, their document information is taken away and they are forced to work.

The majority of Articles I choose it involves the victim story because I want to illustrate what every single one of these girls felt. I want to inform people that Human Trafficking can happen to anyone, to a family member, a friend or even yourself.

Editorial Illustration

My Editorial Illustration is going to be about school kill creativity. Schools and parents have strengthened their children’s learning abilities but neglected their equally important artistic abilities. With the advancement of society, obsolete education methods and concepts are no longer applicable in modern teaching. A step-by-step education system not only limits children’s independent thinking and creativity but also make them become an inconspicuous person with no outstanding features, just like everybody else. Education is not instilling the knowledge of the rules into the minds of children. The essence of education is to teach children the ability to learn instead of letting children lose their imagination, creativity, confidence, personality, and assertive.
