PSA Script

• By definition,a displaced person is one who has been driven from one’s homeland by war or internal upheaval.
• In most situations, these people leave their country, and go to a neighboring one that might also be experiencing its own problems, similar to their native countries’ problems.
• As the person attempts to acclimate to their new home, they most likely are doing more harm than good to both themselves, and their new home.
• My name is Calaia Jackson, and for my Senior Capstone project, I plan to create a working business plan for a foundation that goes to help eradicate Human Displacement, as well as end the negative effects that are caused by the issue.

· With the introduction of tools and resources that foster independence, help these people adjust, the turnover rate for displaced people can be dramatically decreased.

· The “Replace the Displaced Center,” is my solution to the problems that displaced persons face upon emigrating to other countries.

· The center will offer a full range of services, as well as offer residential halls for refugees and DPs. The services that this center will offer consist of:

o Citizenship Classes

o ESL Classes

o Shelter Assistance

o Job Placement

o Nutrition Services

o Cultures Classes

o Indoor Clinic with services available for women and children

o Translation Services

o Child Care

· This center will be fully subsidized by the United States government

· While this center will not full eradicate the issue of Human Displacement, it will go to help end the cycle of forced migration, and the conflicts that arise from it.

I love Cranes.

Senior Project Catch Phrase

This is random, but I love Chapstick.

Time to Pretend I know What I'm Talking About :)

My senior project is focusing on aiding Human Displacement in lesser developed countries, and the economical and governmental impact that Displaced Persons have on the countries that play host to them. Basically, Human Displacement happens in countries that have societal problems such as poverty, injustice, war, and political disparity. The people are then forced, either by economic aspects, or by societal change, to flee their country. Most times, they emigrate to a place that still has problems of it's own, and cause their economy to falter even more. My project is to create a working business plan for a foundation that aides displaced persons in America. It will also feature a tangible "compound" that provides basic services to these people.

File Sharing

I can't form an unbiased opinion about whether or not file sharing is wrong or not. Mainly because I have illegally downloaded CD's, and songs. I know that file sharing, well, in some aspects, is wrong. The artists that work hard to create the songs, and the producers who spend their valuable time to produce the records; there is a lot that goes into making a song, and those people deserve to reap the rewards of their hard work. However, when you think about it, after advertising profits, and promotional deals, they get their pay after one week on the market. After reading this article, I don't have a new opinion about file sharing. It's still wrong, but people, including me, are going to continue to do it regardless of how bad you make them feel.

This is probably my favorite thing ever.
