Year 2035
What does our future hold? How far will society advance by the year 2035? How will education change? How will people change? How will society change? I believe the world is going to change to be for technologically advanced. New gadgets are being produced by the day and eventually, everything will be computerized. This technology advancement will affect education greatly. Students will not be required to buy thick heavy textbooks, but will have to buy a laptop or computer tablet where their work will be done and studied. More classes will be available to take online. Teachers will provide more work to be done on the computer than on paper. Notes in class will be taken on computers or tablets. Sooner or later, our tests and quizzes will also be taken on the computers or tablets and be turned in through a specific website. One day, there will be wifi anywhere. People will pay for their wireless internet not only on their phones, but their computers also. All work will be done online. Now, it is not very different. Projectors and smart boards are currently being used to teach kids their class lessons. Many schools already require a laptop for homework and textbook use. This is just the beginning. Soon, all schools will have this technological luxury. Advances like this do not happen overnight. Over the next few years, learning will be made more interesting. I am a learner, although I do not mind teaching. A person as impatient as me should not have the opportunity to teach kids or teens who might find the material harder than others.
Teen Sex Trafficking
"Sex Trafficking Isn't An 'Over There' Issue, 100,000 U.S. Kids Are Sold Into It Every Year"

Sex trafficking was one of the crimes least expected to take place in America. People were shown a map and asked to point out which countries they thought would have a high crime of human trafficking to which they answered South America, Amsterdam, Thailand, and so on. Sex trafficking is thought to be a crime of countries in poverty. What most people do not know is that America is just as bad as these countries, if not worse. One hundred kids are sold into sex trafficking every year. Gender does not matter since boys are being sold just as much as girls. The law states that any human under the age of eighteen who participates in prostitution is actually a sex trafficking victim. A nonprofit organization called ECPTAT-USA has stepped in to finally raise awareness for these hidden crimes. The stories told by the teens who are forced into child prostitution are quite heartbreaking. These teens are eventually sold to pimps and used as prostitutes.
Humans live in such a shameful universe. These crimes are so heartless. They should never exist. The word rape should not exist. The word should not have a meaning because people should not rape others. This world is so hateful that the next targets are children. Why should the children's innocent souls be punished? Why should they be raped? Why should they be scarred for life? Why should their future and their dreams be ripped away from them? This is not fair. Sex trafficking kids is not fair. Sex trafficking in general is not fair.
