 Curfews have reemerged recently as a popular option for policymakers in their efforts to deter juvenile victimization and delinquency. Imposed on and off since the turn of the century, curfews tend to receive increased attention when there is a perceived need for more stringent efforts at social control. For example, curfew ordinances were originally enacted in the 1890's to decrease crime among immigrant youth. During World War II, curfews were perceived as an effective control for parents who were busy helping with the war effort. More recent interest in juvenile curfew ordinances came as a response to growing juvenile crime during the 1970's Curfew laws vary with respect to the locale affected, timeframe, and sanctions. Most restrict minors to their homes or property between the hours of 11 p.m. and 6 a.m., with some jurisdictions allowing exceptions for weekend nights or summer months. Many curfew ordinances provide exemptions for youth who are going to or from a school-, religious-, or civic-sponsored event. Youth traveling from places of employment or responding to emergencies often are excluded from curfew provisions as well. Several ordinances allow unrestricted mobility for youth who are married, accompanied by an adult, or traveling with a parent's permission. 

In addition, some curfew laws impose more stringent curfew parameters in specific zones of the city, usually in targeted high-crime or commercially important areas. A recent example of this type comes from the city of Austin where, in 1994, the city council took action to limit youth activity in the nightclub district of the city. In that area, the curfew begins at 10 p.m. each night, compared with the 11:30 p.m. curfew for the rest of Austin. This isn’t a good year because there is still problems going on with this issue, there are people under age still outside pass 10:00 pm. They can get in trouble if they are being seen out side under age with a crew, they can be blamed for flash-mob or any other thing out there that kids are being blamed for. Teens can be fine with being in the house at this time but they just chose not to listen and follow what there friends are doing, and that’s what will screw them up. I didn’t notice anyone working on this currently since this law has passed on October27th. 

Theirs really nothing anyone can do at this point but if anything do come up they can always address it to someone. I just think curfew is important because is respectful of the responsible party's time. For example, if a curfew is set by your parent or guardian, it is respectful to the them to be home by it. Otherwise, they are left worrying about you and left to decide if they should start an emergency search for you, etc. If a curfew is set by city officials, it is important because it allows law enforcement officials the ability to know right off that someone out after curfew is most likely causing trouble. It would also allow the city quiet time, in which residential folks could count on being able to sleep without noisy cars, yelling or other disruptive behavior.

This has been a active year for education reform lobbyist, with the recent rise in charter school funding, discourse in congressional budgeting agreements, and growing concern of America's education race. An example of some of these committees are the 'Democrats for Education Reform" or "Stand For Children", who recently spent over $75,000 each on their respective campaigns. The groups most recently expressed their policies to the Denver School Board earlier this month. Denver teacher's union president Henry Roman expressed concern over the issue, saying "its becoming high stakes" when you have "groups out their that can write checks for tens of thousands of dollars".

On the contrary, there are a number of different political figures on the state level that has expressed urgency regarding education reform. In 2011, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie outlined a new agenda regarding education budgeting and curriculum reform. Other politicians in city councils in cities like New Orleans and Nashville have pushed for large scale reform, but federal acts like No Child Left Behind still linger in the mist of the argument.

Seen one

Rachel, a reporter from New York, just got of a plane from Florida. She is currently looking for Ana who she will be living with as she works on an article for a small paper about Spanish restaurants in Florida.

Rachel: Well here I am. Hopefully I can find where I need to go.

Ana:(walks up to Rachel) Are you Rachel?

Rachel: Yes, are you Ana? It’s so good to be here. Do you mind if we get right to work? We don’t have a lot of time.

Ana: Sure, but do you not have the whole week?

Rachel: Unfortunately I have to leave tomorrow night so this article will be able to get in the paper in time. I was thinking that today I could interview you so that I could have most of tomorrow to write the article.

Ana: Well I will be having some friends over for dinner but that should not get in the way.

Rachel: Well ask her if she will be willing to talk about it. The article is going no were and it might help her out if people knew about the problem.

Ana: She won’t do it, she would get in trouble. 

Rachel: But I would not use her name or say anything that will point to her. Tell her that if she is up to it to come here tomorrow morning so I can get the information before I leave.

Maria has decided to talk to Rachel as Ana translates.

Maria: Yo trabajo un tomate. Por un treinta y dos libras yo consigo cuarenta y cinco centavo. A veces nosotros no conseguimos dinero por mesas.

Ana: I work in a tomato field. For a 32 lb I make 45 cents. Sometimes we are not paid at all for mouths.  

Maria: Supermercados tienen muy infuencia. La CIW es exige supermercados pagan un centavo por libra. La mayoria de están de acuerdo. Trader Joe's es evita de acuerdo.

Ana: Supermarkets have a lot of influence. The CIW is demanding that supermarkets pay one cent more per pound. Most have agreed. Trader Joe’s is avoiding agreement.

Rachel: Wow, I never though that in this day and age something like this could be in America. 

Ana: Because almost no one knows about it.

Rachel: There must be something we can do.

Ana: The best thing to do is to get the word out like your article. No one can do it on their own but if many people work together we can make a difference.

Para trabajar en una cosecha de tomate en el estado de florida  puede ser un poco duro porque en tiempo no le pagan los suficiente por el trabajo que ellos hacen. Ellos ponen muchas horas de trabajo para algo tan poquito. 

Lo que nosotros podemos es peliar para atrás  y tratar de negociar con los jefes de trader joes para que los Granjeros le paguen lo suficiente por el trabajado que ellos realisan.

El problema con los tomates de Trader Joes es que los jefes de los Granjeros que cojen los tomates están abusando de ellos por no pagarle lo suficiente. 

trader Joes is basically taking advantage of the Mexicans and are getting tomatoes cheaper than everyone else because they know that the mexicans can not fight fight back but are still abusing the workers by giving them barely enough to mataining themselves.

Di No a Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe's pudo tener buena comida, pero saben de donde vienen?

Trader Joe's han braseros. Los braseros son los niños y también los papás, mamás, abuelas y abuelos. Los niños empiezan a trabajar cuando cumplen diez veces empiezan a trabajar cuando se cumplen seis años. Trader Joe dan 40 a 45 centavos de dólar por cada caja que se llenan y para el salario mínimo de los trabajadores tenían que trabajar durante diez horas de brujas en el trabajador Unidos sacia no puede trabajar durante diez horas.

Trader Joe's no quiere dar los braseros 1 centavo más por cada caja de relleno. Esto es cada importent de los braseros ya que ciento que se puede dar entonces la esperanza de que algún día puede llegar a los niños a ir a la escuela.

¿Todavía quieres comprar en Trader Joe's?

Si es así, sería considerado como una de las personas que no creen en el derecho humano, pero alguien de la que prefiere ser ignorante de cómo otros sufren para conseguir que sus tomates.

Sólo un céntimo más, por qué no?
