Commentary On "Are Women Just Crazy Liars?"

In Kelsey's blog, she expresses about how people should educate themselves on the #metoo movement. I do agree on the topic, as a woman I do feel that we are still stuck behind men. Even with rape cases, there are still men being led off with no time in jail, and just a slap on the hand. More often the men that are usually white are the ones that face little chances of facing any charges and point the fingers to the victim because he is "supposedly" supposed to be a good person. Yet, people of color without hesitation serve high sentences. People do need to educate themselves with these problems that we are facing in modern times at high rates like its "normal", and it's an amazing thing to have a lot more women speak out and have a voice. Women speak out to make a change, not to just say "me too" because everyone else did. The sexualization of women is what they are trying to change.

Migrant Caravan

The homicide rate in Honduras is twice as high as anywhere else, with their government being controlled by gang violence. With such a high crime rate, there are people that are seeking asylum; protection granted from the nation to someone who left their native country for political refugee for shelter and protection from danger in their home country. As a nation that has that ability to help these people, the government decided to keep them out. By using having troops setting up camps to control the border and even to try to close the border so that even legally no one can pass through. Leaving people more discouraged, because they are trying to leave a life that can lead to the end of their and their kids. The government pushes them away and pushes them out, traumatizing the people with tear gas and other threats. People will have their own opinion about the situation with whats going on. Yet, as a citizen of this country how can we not sympathize that there are worse situations that happen in other areas in the world, and we choose to ignore it. Acting like this isn’t our problem when we are part of the problem on how we treat people even if they aren’t from the same place we were born. The border control is becoming so strict and seems to be causing more chaos.
