good evening I’m going to tell you the
story actually have two lives of two
girls on island a small society or any
society for that matter and they’re
going to be two girls born in the same
year one is Nelson and the other one is
leta so Elsa is this girl that lives in
a more stable environment she was born
in the stable environment she has his
love and family caring family community
and he carry very high norms and values
lisa is less fortunate she’s born in a
environment where there is a lot of
bickering a lot of fighting or maybe
that killing silence in the house which
might be even worse so they all live all
family members live parallel from each
other and not really in unity and they
don’t carry very high norms and values
norms and values then get it from the
streets now I want to take you 15 years
later they’re both teenagers so that’s
trouble already Elsa is going to school
wants to be Beyonce or a doctor or
whatever and she’s just trouble for our
parents you know sometimes just annoying
15 year olds Lisa just found out she’s
pregnant she might be pregnant from a
guy that thought she was going to get
love from outside her turbulent home or
maybe her stepfather that turned her
pregnant
she doesn’t have the social safety net
he doesn’t have the financial safety net
well more importantly she doesn’t have
the emotional safety net so she drops
out of school taking you 15 years later
now they are both ready I also have
finished some kind of education has a
stable job 021 kids not a lot to tell
about that Lisa that has five kids now
she has five kids because every guy that
came along and promised to get her out
of her situation she believed it and the
only thing that he left behind is
anarchy and she’d never put attention to
education she never had a stable job and
on top of that her daughter her first
one just came up to her and told her you
know something this history repeats
because I’m pregnant as well at 15 year
old so she’s become a grandmother at 30
I take it 15 years later they’re both 45
Elsa now has 12 kids she might be
married or not married she might be rich
or poor but was really important is that
she is loving and caring and she creates
unity in her home and instills the same
norms and values because she was taught
by by her parents that’s her focus Lisa
the story just repeats it so now they
have 25 more descendants and plus 25 he
new attorney and then you can go on like
this so at 75 the ratio looks cute
skewed like this so why am I telling you
this story where does this come from and
you know why is it important at 17 years
old I thought about this storyline and
for me it was an extreme storyline to
just make a point and the point was for
everybody that is
selfish that they can be can be engaged
in to the less fortunate in our society
and especially in the education of the
less fortunate in our society now that
was my original idea so this was for me
an extreme example now to other years
I’ve seen our society hardened I see
crime rate increase and I’ve seen norms
and values decrease so I decided you
know I had this in mind so let me go and
investigate it a little bit more and so
I went and when I found is that thing a
little bit worse than I thought because
the extreme storyline that I thought
about wasn’t that extreme at all it was
happening and worse than that norms and
values of that group was deteriorating
in Honolulu and to understand a little
bit better you know I invite you I did
that for myself and I got scared for it
fast but I invite you all to go to the
fifteen-year-old you and imagine you
have to now take care of a kid you do
not have your parents but you have to
take care of a kid you’re gonna have a
job you have to actually keep a job and
for the heroes among you can think you
know I can do that now think about
having a second child and it’s your
child with a mindset and knowledge and
skills you had a 15 year old now I don’t
know about you but for me that was
so the most important thing is that to
realize that first generation teenage
pregnancy is not at that but second and
third-generation pregnancy that’s when
you’re doomed to live in poverty chances
are big and then crime becomes more
attractive
self prostitution becomes like the only
logical solution there is and it starts
for the needed goods and goes to slug
furry goods and then how about
prostitution the next generation and we
heard about those stories so
deterioration of norms and values now
the important thing is what does that do
to your society what’s the impact now if
you’ve already seen this cute ratios
right now let me take you into what
impact does this have on your education
system now this is besides the dropouts
and all the guys out of school it’s also
about the teachers don’t we hear about
teachers teachers saying you know norms
and values in the schools are a lot
lower and how about the workforce I
don’t know if any of you do a chart but
don’t you have sometimes those people
coming in for a job interview and you’re
like really do you really think this is
appropriate to wear it is to a job
interview and how about your burden on
the health care system and the burden on
your judicial system and social net
system and we talked about education and
we talked about the workforce so don’t
think about the quality of your taxpayer
and now imagine your Minister your
finest of this country and try to
balance that budget and even if you
manage to balance that budget how
sustainable is your balance balance
budget as a matter of fact how
don’t know what you guys but it’s quite
scary
so what do you do next right I mean
Thank You Joanne for this story you just
it was just a happy story now it isn’t
know most of people would go to the
education the education of the drop out
there are great programs out there and
I’ve been through them and they’re just
great that’s where I was inclined to go
myself in the beginning but what are you
doing the ground effect every 15 years
exponentially growing every scope did
you think about the problem to solve is
too small every time you take that
you’re going to solve the problem it’s
too short far too long so what do you do
you have to deal with an exponential
growth and how do you do it you know the
good news about this thing is that there
is a solution or it is releasably at
least a solution that mitigates the
issue and it’s called the paternity law
the paternity law works like this its
first simple child is born people go to
the mother and ask who’s the father of
this child the model given me Ellen and
we go to Alan and we tell Ellen you know
um congratulations you’re the father of
a child MLM might freak out as I know
that’s not my kid so we do with DNA
tests and out of the innate past comes
that he’s not father we go back to the
matter and it is otherwise it is
positive and he’ll have to take care of
financially with the kids till he’s 18
years old anyway or and pay for the DNA
test when we try to achieve with this we
do not try to achieve one feministic
movement to punish man the thing is
about try to make people conscious then
the next time they have intercourse
after the first and second times if we
put responsible for a kid at least maybe
they will be more responsible with our
inter-cosmic used a condom that’s just
the only thing that we want to do
because we’ve seen situations where an
actually two years old has 21 kids maybe
we can mitigate that or this is that
father
are raping his 12 13 year old kids so
that’s what we want to tackle so
conclusion we already seen this is
devastating this growth effect is
devastating for our society and doesn’t
make any kind of sustainable so the
paternity law is just a way to mitigate
this a little bit and we know need to
support it because only when it’s
litigated you can start at least start
then with a healing process in your society thank you
