Speak Out Against Child Abuse Diorama

FACTS:
  • 3.5 milliom children are abused each year
  • The most tragic consequense is dealth
  • 794,000 children are victoms of abuse and neglect each year

MY UNDERSTANDING:

In the past child abuSe has not been looked into as much as it should have but now that we have many bold people that are willing to speak out about it, the more it has been looked into. Being abused not only leave bruises but also pain, low self esteem, no confidence, and the shedding of many tears. Many parents don't see themselves as abusers because that's the way they grew up and that's how they find confort in dealing with what they've been through. Most abuse is done to te kids that are classified as "mistakes".

My Diorama


My diorama shows the difference between the past and the present and the way of life that was onced lived and the way American's live now. In the past many families grew there own produce, farmed themselves, and could only afford what was needed, nothing more, nothing less. Now I feel that many people take life for granted and don't appreciate the smaller things in life. We now have the funds to buy extra clothing, cars, houses, and many other material things. The point that I wanted to make was that now we as American's see that we're in a recession and that the smaller things such as recycling, being more self-suffencient, and not making everything an neccessity, will help all of us become better as a nation and teach the next generation the meaning of values.
