What is my progressive challenge and why did I pick it?
Many options were given, however I chose Human Trafficking. Throughout the past last years I feel like this topic hasn’t really been touched on and so I decided that doing some research about it wouldn’t be bad. When I think about Human Trafficking-I think people getting kidnapped. However, It is nothing like that. I wanted to know where people usually get kidnapped and who are the people that do that. Turns out that in the Human Trafficking Industry people sell their kids or themselves for money. This topic is very interesting because most of the time we think that women have options other than selling their bodies, but the truth is that some are in real need of the money or don’t know the consequences of Human Trafficking. Overall, I enjoyed getting a better understanding of Human Trafficking. BELOW ARE FILES WITH RESEARCH MY PARTNER, SOPHIE AND I DID. ALSO THEY'RE FILES WITH THE STEPS OF THIS PROJECT
Below is an overview of our research, Interviews, and Immersion experience
Ideation
After figuring out our center problem, it was time to come up with a solution. Our Human center problem turned out to be lack of education. Basically, people don’t really know what the consequences are of joining prostitution. Many parents are also unaware of who their kids talk to online. Turns out to be that most girls disappearing are interested in money and end up being trafficked. We came up the idea that an advertisement of awareness would help people think twice before doing anything that might cause them or others harm. |
What does it mean to be progressive….
Progressive to me means making something (object/idea) better or creating a great idea that will help people/animals. Immersion Experience Human Trafficking is a very delicate subject. My partner and I could not come up with an Idea of what we could do to immerse ourselves into the Trafficking industry. Trafficked people are almost like slaves. They are forced to do things they don’t want to. As simple as it sounds, my partner and I decided to exercise. Both of us dislike running and working out. We thought that exercising for an hour would be a good way to immerse ourselves since we are doing something that we don’t like. We know that exercising is irrelevant to what trafficked people do, but it was the safest things to do. |
