Blog Post #5 Emblem

 
This Quote and picture is perfect for my writing persona because I am very bad at writing but I still make the best out of my bad writing skills and turn it into something productive. And  plus I love Rihanna so it was only right that I use a picture Quote from her. But yea all in all I suck at writing but I'm so good at be bad at it that it seems good.

Omg I'm like a whole day late, sorry . This Challenge enhanced my understanding of hip-hop culture in an entirely new light. I was thought that hip-hop culture was something that was done solely through music and music artist. through this challenge I was able to find out that hip-hop culture is something that can be found in movies and through the simplest things such as a chain that an actor may have on and even the scenery can have a hip-hop culture feel. The only difficulties I had was making it to the word count and I guess be descriptive enough.   

Blog Post #4

My older sisters Jessica and Guerline Albert are  two literacy sponsors that has helped me from childhood to young adulthood. My sister Guerline more so was my literacy sponsor during my childhood, she was someone that I looked up to and always wanted to satisfy not just because she was my older sister but because she was also my teacher, my role model, etc. She actually helped me write a paper that won 2nd place in my entire district meaning I was competing against middle schoolers and high schoolers while I was just in the 2nd grade. Meaning in that paper there were a lot of words and grammar rules that I knew nothing about prior to her exposing them to me. I was nervous but yet excited because I felt ahead of the game but I also felt that I was overwhelming myself with all of this new information. Jessica helps me in my young adult life with the way I pronounce my words she corrects me when I say things wrong. She also teaches me a new word everyday, she helps broaden my vocabulary and teaches how to use them in sentences.

Justification

After implementing the website and having the website and ads up and running, Americans and people from all around the world will start to be aware of the problem that has been happening and is still currently on going in Nigeria. The persecution, killing, and terrorizing of the innocent Christians in Nigeria is a problem that was not given attention to and was over looked at and not brought to the eye of the media. Now that the problem is making its way to the surface and people from American and from all around the world are starting to know about the problem that is going on in Nigeria, they can start helping the problem.  After being aware of the situation, the people from American and from the rest of the world can start donating money to the refugee camps in Nigeria that are running and even start more refugee camps to help save more lives.

It is very much true that awareness and finical support will not stop the military in Nigeria from killing and terrorizing the innocent Nigerian Christians. But it will surely help save the lives of those Nigerian Christians that are trying to find safety and get away from the terrorizing and killing. Although it may not be the end to this problem, it is a start to minimizing the amount of killings. It will also be the start to the amount of killings being decreased especially being that the past two years the amount of murders have been being doubled. Although this solution may help save lives how will it help the problem in the long run? Will it even help the problem in the long run? The solution of awareness and finical support will help in the not just temporarily but in the long run. The finical support will continue to help get the refugee camps get better and will allow the camps to run better and the camps will go from “underground” camps to fully function and official Nigerian Christian Camps.  The awareness of this problem will be the key component to actually solving the problem in Nigeria. The more people aware of the problem the more action that will be taken against the problem. With the right people being aware of the problem, the United Nations may become aware that Nigeria is going against the declaration of Human Rights that Nigeria signed when Nigeria became a part of the United Nations. With the United Nation being aware of Nigeria violating the declaration of human rights, they can then go about solving it with the military. But for now it does not hurt to start by helping finically and educating yourself and others about the thousands of innocent lives being killed and terrorized in Nigeria.

Possible Solutions

1.The  United Nation leaders get together and penalize Nigeria military for not abiding by the human Rights law.
 2. Americans raise awareness of the issue, as the leading country of the world America should recognize the problem at hand.
3. Americans including the United Nations should help raise money for the refugees that are taking place in Nigeria.
4. Awareness in Nigeria.
5.Petition against the Nigerian government.

6-10. I honestly think the 5 ways, well at least five best ways I can think of is listed above and all is really interconnect with each other.

Re:        It's Bigger Than Hip-Hop-Friday

Last time we were on the topic of the challenge check-ins I was undecided and not really sure if I was going to stick to the topic that I choose. I originally choose to do the "It's bigger than hip-hop" and choose the movie "Friday". If I did not decide to do that one my second option was the "Hip-hop Spaces". I decided to stick with my first option because even though it may be a little bit more challenging, it will be something new. 

Doing this topic for my challenge will allow me to open my eyes to certain details that I may have paid no attention to during the previous times that I have watched the movie "Friday".  When first deciding and making my decision as to which topic I was going to do I was looking for the easiest topic but then I deciding to do something that interest me and will allow me to make connections with things other than music to hip-hop.

As I proceed with this challenge and more time goes by, it will be very much appreciate it if you will help me and guide me towards the right way with this assignment.

Problem Statement

Nigeria, is one of the most populous countries in Africa. Government wise Nigeria is transitioning to civilian rule from military rule and has a multiparty government. Nigeria is also part of the United Nation; they joined the United Nations October 7^th, 1960.  The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945 and committed to maintaining international peace and security; developing friendly relations among nations; promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights. As of the year 2014, there are hundreds of thousand Christians being persecuted and killed just because they choose to believe in Jesus Christ. That number is nearly doubled from last year (2013) and the year before (2012). The taking of these innocent lives is a problem because Nigeria is going against the declaration that they signed with the United Nations to protect and allow the people of their country better living standards and human rights. The killing and persecution of the Nigerian Christians is also a problem because they are innocent people who just by simply declaring their belief in Christianity or just by labeling themselves as Christians risk their innocent lives of being taken by the Nigerian military. The people who becomes the victim of this horrible crime is mostly the pastors and citizens that try and help build churches. The government will literally run them out of their homes just to capture them and kill them. This also effects the neighbors of the pastors and those that are building or helping to build the churches because their neighbors hear their terrifying screams and sees them being them being ran out of their homes just knowing that they are next. Not only is the massive amount of killing a problem but the horror that is put into the other Nigerian Christians that are not trying to getting killed is causing creating another humanitarian crisis. As far as the how the problem is being handled know, there is indeed an efficient plan undergo. There are many refugee camps that are “underground”, there are many people who are putting their lives at risk just to help the Nigeria Christians that are on the run. Although thousands of lives are being saved and thousands are being guided to safely flee to neighboring countries such as Cameron, Chad, and Niger’s Diffa region, hundreds of thousands more can be safe if those running these refugees or aiding the refugees had sufficient funds. It is quite obvious that the ones in charge of the refugees cannot just demand or even kindly ask the government of Nigeria to fund these refugee camps and escape missions because it is the government that is doing the killing. Since Nigeria is a part of the United Nation (who believes and try to allow all the nations associated with the UN to have human rights be given to the citizens of that nation), all the other countries specifically the United States of America should aid them financially while the United Nations works on a way to get the Nigerian military back on tract and allow them to understand that Christians do too need and deserve human rights.
