The fist podcast i watched was “Iraqui teens work to help their families” The title of the series was Alive in Baghdad and it was dated 10/15/07. This is the link to watch the podcasthttp://aliveinbaghdad.org/2007/10/15/iraqi-teens-work-to-help-their-families. The podcast talked about young boys who help their fathers in different trades, they have helped their fathers since they were young. One of the young boys who talked was a 15 year old boy who gos to work with his uncle and father, he said that it takes them an hour to get to work and sometimes when the area is unsafe they have to work at home. The boy said that he coulf make pretty much anything in a badroom to a sofa and a door. He learned everything from his father and picked up different styles by watching what his dad did. When you see him working it looks like a very small backyard, and its messy and a very dirty ground. Some one watching this podcast will get a better understanding of what some teens go through and the challenges that they go through. It’s hard to compare this video to other’s of iraq because this one is just about kids and the other ones are just about the war.
The second podcast was “Challenges at a Girl’s School in Baghdad” The series was Alive in Baghdad and was dated at 5/21/07 and the link to see it was http://aliveinbaghdad.org/2007/05/21/challenges-at-a-girls-school-in-baghdad. The pocast was the challanges that girls face in school, how for some depending on how far it is away they might not beable to get to school so they miss the lesson that was taught, also some parents want their kids to go to a school closer or drop out and just stay home. But alot of these girls are very eager to learn. A couple of girls were asked if they were nervous to come to school and one said no but others said sometimes yes just because sometimes roads would be closed and it would be hard to get to school. The classrooms arent very big, the girls sat at long tables with benches as seats and there was about 20 to 30 girls in a class and the teacher had a chalk board to write on. Many people could learn alot from this, like not to take school and simple things like that for grandated. I feel this podcast was alot different because it let you understand what these girls have to go through and how they really want to keep up with school and learn more. What i loved most was this video was just seeing how the girls loved to be at school and really wanted to learn.
