Just for kids is a web page that explains serious situations in a simple way for kids to understand. My response to this article about Coronavirus is that it is important to keep kids updated on what is happening in our society right now. Sometimes parents feel their children do not know what is happening in our society or is not impacting them. However, let’s put ourselves in a child’s shoes, one day you are out the next day there is no school and you can’t go out because the country is under quarantine. I chose this comic because I am part of the people that read things because of attractiveness. As soon as I saw it was a comic, I started to read it. That also happens to kids, for kids to be interested in something, it needs to catch attention. Let’s say this comic is posted on a wall, rapidly kids will be interested to see what it says.

I chose this article because I have seen people that are not minding this and keep using money without thinking of the consequences. It is obvious that people will think it is only because of the Coronavirus but paper money has other bacterias we cannot see. Paper money is important because otherwise the economy will stop running or functioning. But, in my opinion, paper money is one of the main reasons the virus keeps spreading. There are still people that do not have a reason to go out, going out just because they feel the virus is not that strong. I think it will be a good idea, as the article said, to implement a disinfectant of cash as they did in china. However, it is important to stop the exchange of money but also let’s keep in mind small and big companies are suffering financially in this situation.

With time many people forget those left behind. There are thousands of refugee who are left behind one of them being the Rohingya. They were forced to flee their country by the Myanmmar government when military where doing ethic cleansing. Rohingya Muslims were denied tcitizenship and even excluded them from the 2014 census, refusing to recognise them as a people. Burmese security forces, including mass killings, sexual violence, and widespread arson, amount to crimes against humanity. The Military denied that security forces committed abuses during the operations. But this is a genocide, yet nothing is being done. In Myanmar, entire villages were burned to the ground, families were separated and killed, and women and girls were gang raped. Most of the people who escaped were severely traumatized after witnessing unspeakable atrocities. These people found temporary shelter in refugee camps around Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, which is now home to the world’s largest refugee camp. Bangladesh has taken in also more 600,000 refugee camps. How is this okay? labeling something as “ethic cleansing” makes it okay for this mass killing. It crazier how the UN still has not taken to this genocide. There thousands of stories of people who lost their loved ones and had leave everything behind. Displacement is more than moving, it often done with violence and chaos. The Rohingya are one of groups who are forced out of their homes because of their culture and religious. It take a mental toll and strength when you are force to leave your home and don’t know what going to happen. It is scary to imagine having see your village destroyed and brutal murders of your people and you are helpless. The Instagram post is just one mother story about her hardship that so many people are not aware of.

I chose this article to talk about because I think its really important to talk and doesn’t get enough emphasis. This article is about how nearly a million children were left behind in Venezuela while their parents migrate. Which means that these children are all on they own with out no guidance. How does this relate to displacement? Well, these children are about to be isolate and will have no one to go too. These children are feeling displace because there are not going to have that “childhood” like other kids. What I mean is that these children have to adapt from being a child to having responsibilities as adults. These kids are only in grade school and the parents in Venezuela are about to leave their children to find things such as food, work and medicine. Venezuela is going through an impact that is effecting all people in a terrible way. Parents fell forced to leave because if they don’t they won’t survive with the resources they have. The children are feeling displace because probably some of them don’t even know what is going on. These children how to adapt on taking. are of themselves while then depending on their parents. Every children needs their parents and without the parent they feel displace. Who they are going to talk to? How they are going to live on their own? These are some questions to consider when wondering what these children are going to do to provide themselves with whatever they need. In the article you will see how a year old child is feeding a baby! Even though this sound impressive and gives children advantages on some things adults do. Children is suppose to be enjoying life and be a kid instead jumping in to adulthood. While we have a big crisis going on for ourselves I think this article is important and should be an eye opener on what other people go through.

“NEW HAITIAN MIGRATION PATTERNS END IN DISPLACEMENT” by By Kyilah Terry (UCLA 2019)
This article is very interesting because it talks about Haitian people’s displacement. What makes this displacement interesting is that even though Haiti suffered a catastrophe that caused all Haitians to get out of the country and go somewhere else, in those countries that they go, they are not accepted, as you can read in this article. In the Dominican Republic, a law was created to denationalized many Haitians, causing migration to other places like Mexico. In Mexico, the government started to deport Haitians. This article states different reasons for Haitian displacement; these are catastrophes or policies that would give them a better life than the life they could get in Haiti. But in some countries stopped being accepted and those countries changed their policies.
