Reflecting Back

Learning about human sex trafficking was a topic I was very interested in at the being of this project and I still want to learn more. I find it so hard to believe that these horrible events are taking place so close to us. In our neighborhoods, city's, and even our local schools. There are many issues that we really focus on here in the United States that I feel should not be as talked about. Human sex trafficking is a topic/issue that is many times ignored or pushed out of sight, “ out of sight, out of mind”. With knowing this I wanted to research human sex trafficking even more. I find it interesting that our government can be so consumed in little things that don’t really matter and totally ignore something that is so terrible.
During this process, I got everything in on time. When I had an issue with it I would talk to Mrs. Wright. I enjoyed doing all this research even though at times it felt a little repetitive. I had a set up for each blog I would do the research Monday and Tuesday. Then I would confirm that I understood the blog and on Thursday I would write my blog, edit and turn it in. Some of the topics that we had to blog on were very hard to find on my topic. Many people don’t like to talk about there experiences or talk about human sex trafficking at all. People feel uncomfortable with it so they don’t want to approach the topic.
I have learned many horrifying facts about human sex trafficking. I will take many things from my research. One being that these crimes happens right in our own country. Another would be that the girls who are involved in these crimes are in such a down spot in their lives that they will believe a stranger. The stranger will make them feel wanted and loved, I can’t help but think that many of theses women are teenagers in high school and are being bullied to no end. This is one of the saddest things that I will take from this research. This women being the same age as me are being conned into being human sex slaves for these horrible men.
I want to become hospitality major. Many people think I should be a sociologist because I love helping people and make them feel wanted. I believe that I will carry these facts through my life. Knowing that our country is not innocent in the way of that human sex trafficking is happening all around us and we are just sitting here and letting it happen. I don’t feel any different toward my topic. If there would be any difference it would be that I know more and I want to help and make people more aware even more than before.
I very much enjoyed doing this topic. I was nice that we got to pick what we wanted to do because it made doing the blogs not as bad. Sometimes I would not want to do the blogs but as soon as I started to do the researcher I wanted to keep doing it. I want people to understand the horrifying related of human sex trafficking because then maybe it will bring people to do more about it. Overall, I will keep many things and I will never stop supporting human sex trafficking.
