Child Trafficking in Ghana

I couldn't believe that Ghana, a western African country could possibly solve their problems by Child Trafficking. In Ghana there are children being smuggled or being transported to work in Farms of cocoa bean for hours. The only reason for this problem is to get money out of it to probably help with the groceries and etc.

This can have a negative impact on the children especially at a young age. Because they won't have an education during their childhood days. When they grow up to be mature young adults they won't know how to read or do the math because they were troubled with working on the farm. Some parents won't let their children eat as well, if they won't go to work at the cocoa farms.

So the government is currently trying to resolve this issue from happening to our young generation. Because buyers or companies are too into chocolate they would need the cocoa beans, and that causes child trafficking. But if farmers join the Unions of Fair trade they would get a fair price from the cocoa beans, and the profits would go back into the community.

Child Labour

Child labour is children under the age of 15 years old who are working long hours in hazardous conditions which leads to psychological/physical harm to the brain.

An immediate effect on a child who works under age is getting tired from working long hours and not getting an education or daily meals. And a long time effect on child labour is their income-earning potential as adults.

The reason why there are millions of children working as child labourers is because families or parent's who are too weak or too old can't work anymore to pay off their debts. So they "bond" a child. Bonding a child is giving your own child to work off the payments so eventually at the end debts will be paid.

To me child labour is out of hand. There should not be any more child labourers around the world period because education is our birth right, so against child labour we must fight.

Amazon Rainforest - Geographically Significant

The Amazon Rainforest is a geographical significant place because of its features of the landscape and the living creatures on the land and sea. The Amazon Rainforest is the largest rainforest international and it only covers 6% of the Earth's land surface and it is home to over 50% of global biodiversity.

The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America right on the equator so with the sun always rising from that specific point it is mostly hot there and sometimes rainy. The Amazon Rainforest runs through Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador & Peru.

"Lungs Of The Planet" they call the Amazon Rainforest. Because there are so many trees there and they provide pure oxygen and clean out the c02 in the air and all the negative oxygen in the air. So that's why the Amazon Rainforest is also called the "Lung's Of The Planet."

The Amazon Rainforest

The Amazon Rainforest is located in South America. South America is on the equator which makes the temperature for some countries really hot. The Amazon Rainforest is known for the cradles of biodiversity because it is the home to many species of living plants/species/animals. This Amazon Rainforest are the lungs to the world because they have many trees that provide clean fresh air and clean out carbon dioxide and the negative CO2.

One Tree Hill: Maungakiekie

This is my brainstorm about One Tree Hill. As you may have heard One Tree Hill is a hill located in Auckland and it was best known for the tree standing on top of the hill. At the end the tree had to be cut down. If you wanna know some reasons why, well I suggest you to read or scan through my brainstorm.

My Significant Place

The place that is significant to me is the cemetery. The cemetery is a place where I go to with my family to be reunited with my mother or loved ones who had past away when I was a little child or as I was growing up.

Another  reason why this place is significant to me is because it makes me reminisce all those good times and bad memories I had with that person but, I never got that chance to do that so it just brings me closure to my mother’s presents and helps me think about things like how my childhood would’ve been if my mother was still alive.

A third reason why this place is significant to me is because I like visiting my mum and other close family members who had past away. And I don't like to make them feel like they've been forgotten because they haven't to me. And they been soo much to me even if they're dead.

Will Smith's Well Being

Skip to 5.56 sec/s Fresh Prince of Bel-air

My Brainstorm about Hauora (Well Being) connecting this to the video clip you just watched.

If you haven't watched this video it is a short clip from the show called Prince In Bel Air and in the clip Uncle Phil has an early surprise for Will's upcoming graduation for doing an awesome job at school but, Uncle Phil didn't know that Will had the pills that Carlton took and had almost died. So Will admitted it was from himself because he felt guilty. So that's where Social Well Being comes in and it effects negatively cause sometime friends can put you in some deep trouble while you're over exhausted from physical well being like Basketball, your work & sometimes education.

So after when Will told Uncle Phil & the family that the pills were from him Will felt sorry leading him into his Mental & Emotional Well being and started crying cause he was responsible for the bad action and mistakes he made that almost killed his cousin Calton.

Goals for 2018 Social Studies

It's the beginning of the year and I am putting up my goals for myself starting from this very moment.

       Tools I  need to Success

FIrst and foremost I need to come to class bright and early with my brain switched on and ready to learn new amazing things for each and every class. Having my netbook there everyday fully charged too.

        Process of being Success

Listening to his/her instructions so I know how to guide myself to the place of being successful. Being on the right websites and keeping my footprint online positive is going to help me stay strong minded which will make me focus on my school work.

          Final Outcome

last but not least, to help me walk the path to success is that I need support from the teacher or whoever may be there. Why? Well because I feel like I need to have the same mindset to understand the task that I am doing. And If I understand the process or the main idea then I will complete my work after every period.
