Dr. Meg Tarfdar lecture
Dr. Meg Tarfdar lecture was about Bodhisattva. She talked about some of the quotes from Budda narrate. The quotation that I liked most is, “there is the end of suffering.” This quotation can be guideline for our lifetime. We always make mistakes and we suffer from it after sometimes that end. I have read a lot of books where there was a lot of suffering about mistake and learn from it. There is an end of our suffering. The outsider is one of the best books to prove this quote. In the book the main character is Poneboy, he helps his friend to kill a gang member. After that he suffered a lot because he thoughts he is an evils persons. After a couple months he a saves a bunch of innocent kids from a burning school. By saving kid’s life, he got released from his guilty suffering. I think suffer led us good way and make us not to do it in further life.
Senator Jose Peralta events.
I attended senator Jose Peralta events. He talked about the
girl trafficking and force to prostitution in Jackson heights. He gives us
little bit background history about it. He has been working to clean this mess
up. In the mid of his lecture he mention that there are two types sex slave.
First types one is package one. It includes foods, dance, and free delivery. The second type one is brothel which is a
truck. A lot of prostitute girl are victim of pimps. The pimps force and
threaten them to do what they want. The common trick they use to collect the
girl is, hiding their passport and document. Sometimes pimps trick them by
pretending as a boyfriend. Sometimes pimps beat them. According to Jose,” There
are twenty seven million slave all around the world.” This is much more from
our previous slave history. This slave are includes prostitution and day
labor.
The Movie Of The Trade of Innocent
The Trade of Innocent movie is great mirror to see what is going on in the present world. This move was carried some of combida innocent child whom were force to take a prostitutes life. Most of them were sold by their parents or grandparents. Some of child does not know what they have to do because their age is not enough to understand so pimps use the movie to show them so they can learn. The combida girls were spending their life in scary moment. “Where problem there are is way.” The Interpol officer Mr. Alex came to solve the problem. He faced a lot of difficulties to solve it. The police did not support him to kill the pimps. He tried to catch the whole groups, but he did not success. At the end of the movie Alex tried to catch the pimps and hand over to the police, but the pimps choose to be died.
