Footage on Mexicans Crossing the Border

So in this documentary we see  what Mexicans have to do in order to cross the border. This video shows that people from rural areas of Mexico want to be part of the "American Dream". All they want to do is work in order to send money to their family and be able to have a better life.These people have to walk for days in order to cross the border and just for that they risk their live's by entering wild areas where aggressive animals leave.  

Famine in the "horn" of Africa

This British news channel basically talks about what people have to go through because of the famine, specially kids. In this video children are the ones that suffer the most because they can't get anything to eat and some of them unfortunately have to die. This problem is currently happening in the "horn" of Africa, which includes Ethiopia, Somalia, and Kenya, but the most affected country is Somalia, and therefore, they have to leave their countries by foot usually; however, sometimes people die on the journey.

Experience interviewing my father.

I would consider that interviewing my father for our previous project was a great experience. Some of the families now days aren't very close to each other and by saying this I don't mean that parents and their children are in constant conflict with their families. There are many people that have communication with their families, members of the family know what happens to each other; however, it does not mean that that all of the members of the family are close to each other and by saying close, I mean that not everyone knows what someone's mom or dad is going through right now, no everyone knows if they are happy, sad, angry, worried. This could also happen vice versa, however, parents usually know what is going on with their children and if they don't really notice anything that's probably because there is a big familiar disconnection.

In my case, the relationship between my family and I is the type of relationship where there is communication all the time; however, all the things that I know or each member shares are all superficial situation, there is no detail.  I did not pay attention to what my father was going through or what he has been experiencing throughout the six years my family and I have been in Canada. This interview helped me understand my father from a different perspective and helped get closer to him and not just have communication with him. Also, this interview made me realize that it is very important to sometimes make extra time for the people we love, sit down and converse with them to truly know how they feel and understand certain types of behaviours they might acquire due their situation. Sometimes members of the family want to express what they feel, but because we sometimes unconsciously show that we don't care about their lives, they repress their feelings and sometimes repression may cause stress and depression, which can also lead to grave situations such as psychosomatic illnesses.
