Asynchronous Assignment 10/10/2020

For today’s assignment, I tuned into the UN broadcast. There was a depressing UNICEF advertisement, which showed children being mistreated, abused, and hurt in the middle east. The hashtag was #foreverychild.

This ad got right into my heartstrings, and made me want to do something valuable to save neglected children.

Later in the broadcast, there was a segment in a Middle Eastern country, which made a point of showing how refugees are living across Europe and Canada. The refugees were suffering, clearly. One newspaper had a coverĀ  image of a refugee washing his clothes in the beach water, with the striking headline that read “Europe is Divided”.

Overall, this broadcast was a tough watch, and it shines light on the injustices that happen all over the world.
