Break the Divide: Bring on Unity

Break the Divide: Bring on Unity

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King

Society loves to label our generation, categorise and confine us to a certain ‘crowd’, shaping us to fit a particular exterior.
Our schools are a classic example of the division between young people. We’re all equal - all likely to face the same day-to-day struggles.

Slavery Still Exists

29 Jun 2010 | By: Rikki McAdam | 2 comments

Slavery: The state of being under control of another person.

Slavery today is used for a variety of reasons including intense labour, debt bondage and, sex slavery.
sex slavery is the largest contributor to Human Trafficking, set to be one of the largest smuggling businesses of 2010.

You may be thinking from your history lessons that slavery has officially been abolished and is now outlawed in all countries and by the United Nations, but the fact is that SLAVERY still EXISTS in 2010.

Does Having many Sexual Experiences Prove OUR Masculinity

26 Apr 2010 | By: Michael T. Adewale | 0 comments

I’m intrigued to know whether you think having sex with different girls proves our masculinity. The reason for this is because the other day I overheard a conversation between a group of guys on the bus. The gist of the conversation was that to truly be a man you need to have sex with many girls. I’m curious to know whether any of you have had similar discussions with your friends. I certainly have in the past! Let’s be honest guys, we are regularly bombarded with images of women in music videos as sexual objects.

Human Rights: Refugees and Asylum Seekers

13 Apr 2010 | By: Calum Macdonald | 1 comment

Human rights – we all take it for granted. We can go around expressing our personal feelings and believe in anything we want. For others it isn’t as easy. Refugees and Asylum Seekers are people who have left their home country to seek a better life in another. But, when they come over to this country, their lives don’t get much better. These people have a silent voice in society. They can end up feeling like they are practically invisible. They aren’t listened to, and they’re not always accepted in the community.

It's Not a Game!

06 Apr 2010 | By: Harry | 3 comments

School kids fighting on the bus, tags all over walls, bus stands covered in broken glass and youths in hoodies passing drugs to each other. It's all a normal sight on a trip to college here in London. The vicious cycle of gang culture has lead to 26 young people being killed in 2008 and the figure is looking to double or triple this year and next. Police have identified there to be 190 known gangs, and London is statistically more dangerous than New York. A quarter of gangs are said to have been involved in murder. Half involved in serious assault. This is severe.

I Care.

So the people from ICareRevolution came in to speak to the entire Student Body at Hatch End High School today. It stirred the same inspiration in me that I get every time a charity comes to speak, and previously I’ve always joined up, signed up to help and passed email addresses on, but it’s never enough. Honestly, what good does £2 a month do for starving children in Africa?

SMILE!!! You Live Here and Now

Hey!! Just thinking about my English topic - writing an article on human rights. In this country we can go around, smiling, frowning, and thinking and expressing our own, individual thoughts. Whereas in other countries, or even in this country about 100 years back we couldn't without being put in jail, punished, or even killed (at the extremes) for expressing our beliefs, believing that coloured people should be treated equally, expressing your own thoughts and sharing your dreams and aspirations with others, etc, etc.
