About Mabel Stafford
My name is Mabel and I am a member of the human trafficking group. Human trafficking is when someone is forced into some type of labor in order for the trafficker to gain a valued item. Our aim is to stop human trafficking and help survivors recover.
My graph looks the way it does for many reasons. The bumps are where the population has dropped. That big dip near the end was Columbus. He murdered so many people in North and South America. He also brought diseases over, which killed even more people. That is why my graph looks this way.
Mabel, this graph is terrific and you have good reasons for its shape! I wonder, now that you’ve seen this video http://www.prb.org/Multimedia/Video/2011/video-7-billion.aspx if you would make other changes to the shape.
