It's been quite a while since I've posted anything of great value or meaning and there are many world wide events happening that I think are pretty interesting (or at least important.)
Of course I'm going to the New York Times, because that's where I always go to learn about current events that are occurring around the world.
- Riots in Turkey have caused a great uproar in the news recently. The Turkish people seem to be rioting against their government and have caused a vast unrest among the country of Turkey. Here's a more recent article. -> Turkish Riots
- A art piece, in form of a play, called "Roadkill" is making headlines about the terrors of human trafficking. If you don't know about human trafficking, you're not living in the present. It is a large and ever growing problem in the country and around the world. Here's the article from the NYT -> Roadkill
Here's some facts about human trafficking according to the Polaris Project
- 27 million people are "modern-day" slaves around the world
- 70% of any women that gets abducted into trafficking is involved in the sex trafficking "industry."
- Here's a sad statistic: The average age that a person enters into prostituions is between the ages of 12 to 14.
