Blog website Review


Review of classmate’s video blogs.

I watched, “Sex trafficking in Las Vegas” Video blog, posted by Marjorie Clark.
It was surprising to note that one in five is a child. More than fifty percent are brought from outside. It is called modern day slavery. As per this video information, since 1997, the rate of child pornography posted on the Internet has increased 1500 percent. So here we see the negative aspect of technology.
Another video blog that I watched is, “Chinese custom of foot binding” posted by Sravani Banerjee. I had read long time ago about foot binding custom practiced in China since several decades, but saw the clip now.
It begins from age four to six. Parents wear metallic shoes of the tiny feet of children preventing the natural growth of feet. In many cases it results into some skin or bone diseases. Sometimes the foot portion is dead like gangrene, requiring amputation. It is an example how customs are blindly followed from generation to generation. I don’t understand why only Chinese thought, small feet were beautiful!
