1. Child manipulation is a global problem.
Sierra Leone, Africa (the setting for A Long Way Gone) is not the only place children have been manipulated by adults. Research other places in the world where this kind of atrocity has occurred.

Children are often manipulated due to the fact that they are still young, innocent, and in a way naive. The manipulation of children has been a problem since the beginning of time. It happens all around the world. We recently learned about a child, along with many others, being manipulated in Sierra Leone. The children were captured and recruited by a rebel group. Any boy they could use to their advantage was used. Of course, Sierra Leone is not the only place the manipulation of children has been seen. This was also found in Europe. Thousands of child soldiers fought during the Balkan wars between 1991-1995. In Ethiopia almost a third of the little soldiers were girls. Some people who were a part of this are now proud to have been a part of it. But, a lot are scarred from the things they’ve seen.
ReplyDeleteI think Child Manipulation is wrong you don't need to teach childern to go kill at that age. Yeah they listen more but still to use them as soilders is just wrong. They have familys and there mom or dad would love to see them in one piece if they make it back.

An example of this would be of alcohol. Companies all around try to entice young people with their advertisements.Young people are manipulated by these ads because the always say that the effects will make you live the high life or something like that. The truth is they lie to a lot of people to sell their product. They think it's cool or fun to drink and the next thing you know you see an alcohol related car crash involving some young sixteen year old kid and it takes his life before it begins.And to be perfectly honest I think they should ban them from TV like they did tobacco ads.

Child Manipulation is wrong. They do this in war like Joseph Kony. But in India they manipulate them to do jobs that adults should do. There are no laws against so they just grab kids to do the jobs for them, kids are dying in India because of this
ReplyDeletePlaces that have child manipulation are El Salvador, Ethiopia, Guatemala and South Africa they are militaries that recruit children. Some parents even volunteer their children to prove their strength. Children are forced to kill everyone that is against what they are forced to believe in if they show any sign of weakness they are killed. http://www.unicef.org/sowc96/2csoldrs.htm

A San Francisco mom gave her 8-year-old daughter Botox shots. Apparently, the mother buys the Botox online and administers the treatments herself to "help" with the little girl's wrinkle issues. Naturally, this is a beauty pageant mom and has convinced her daughter to believe that her forehead is ugly.

- My research was on children of the night. Children of the night was founded in 1979. Children of the night was founded to help children who were forced in to prostitutes. In 1981 the General Accounting office estimated there were 600,000 American children, under the age of 16 working has prostitutes in the U.S. Children of the night gives victims the opportunity to be a child. Dr. Lois estimated nearly 1/3rd of all runways had some brush with prostitution or a pimp. I think that people manipulate children because they still don't know any better.

Child manipulation can be a damaging thing to do to children and should not be done.The children in Uganda are very strong and are getting their lives turned around.The man that was turning those kids into soldiers is sick and twisted and I hope he goes to jail.When children are manipulated it can be hard for them to have a normal life when they move from the place they were corrupted at.I really hope the children in Uganda get their childhood back .
ReplyDeletechild manipulation can be on tv, sports.Many children really don't know whats good or bad. In a long way gone there's a lot of child manipulation by recruiting children to kill.In tv they manipulate kids by making and wanting them to buy their items.In sports they make the athlete believe a lot of things just so they can play for there teams. Thats how they manipulate young kids in sports. In Different countries they manipulate kids by putting suicidal bombs on them , they might say its a jacket and they want the young kid to try it on. If he putts on they'll give anything he wants. Thats how they Manipulate kids.

People often manipulate child just because the are small and they don't really know what they are doing. Also they are too small to under stand that older people are manipulating them. An example is in Mexico corrupted people manipulate child's to make them kill or do other type of crimes. Hope on day the manipulation of child's stops and child's can live their childhood happy.
ReplyDeleteChild manipulation is wrong because they make kids into something there not and when they grow up still in that life style they are teaching them.The kids are leaning the wrong and the kids are growing up and thinking the wrong is the right and they are throwing them in cages like animals cause they do not know what they have been throw..Chris Murchison
ReplyDeleteI really hate child manipulation. It is wrong
ReplyDeleteand who ever tells a child to kill their own family is crazy and really mean. A child is to young to fight and be manipulated. It can do damage to their mind and make them do dad things when they grow up. Parents the have separated can manipulate their kids to hate that parent. That is mean and very childlike for a parent to do that to their child.
Sierra Leone wasn't the only place in the world that manipulated children. Because of Hitler, kids at the age of 10 had to join the Jungvolk movement, at 14 they had to join the Hitler Youth, and at 18 they then had to join the party, the Wehrmacht, the SA, or the SS.
ReplyDeleteI think that child manipulation is wrong. No child should have to go through things like that.

Child manipulation is bad they make kids do something they don't want to do by tricking them by like saying they may get something if they do or kill their family if they don't and if u get tricked u would do anything that they want you to do.

There's children being manipulated everywhere! that's one thing that people have in common , their being manipulated in some way . Maybe not the same way as others but , they are some way , some how . And it touches alot of people on this earth example as me , it hurts me to hear about childern my age being manipulated and involed in such severe acts around their towns and cities . Such as Jaycee Dugard , she was kidnapped in 1991 June 10th , in South Lake Tahoe California . And she got abducted while walking home from the school bus stop , she was missing for 18 years . To me that frightens me to even go anywhere alone; it makes me feel like there's always someone watching me wherever I go .
