Hw 33: Iraqi Teens Work to Help Their Families

The title of the episode of that I chose was "Iraqi Teens Work to Help Their Families." The title of the series is called "Alive in Baghdad." The podcast was published on October 15th 2007 and the link to the video is http://aliveinbaghdad.org/2007/10/15/iraqi-teens-work-to-help-their-families/.
The podcast was about three boys in their early teens that are currently working for their parents and not attending school. The three boys that appear in the podcast are names Hussein Kamal, Mustafa Malek Futhullah Ali, and Yousif. Mustafa Malek Futhallah Ali is 14 years old and is in the 6th grade. He worked with his father ever since he was a child and he his currently working for his uncle doing carpentry. The scenery at the places that these teens work are run down and not in the best condition. During Husseins Kamals interview inside his house, it shows his kitchen and it is also run down and in not in very good condition.
From watching this podcast, a viewer may learn how hard it is for teens in Iraq to live, working numerous hours everyday in the conditions of war. It shows a good comparison with how different it is for teenagers living in America today, and what the Iraqi's have to go through everyday. The most memorable thing from the podcast, was when Hussein Kamal said "Stop supporting terrorism because many youth of my people are being killed." This line stuck out to me because of how greatly children and teenagers are being effected from the war, and nearly 50% of Iraqis are unemployed and there is nothing that they can do about it.
