Xiamen University students recently made a survey at a cross road near the university campus, a section where a pedestrian walking bridge was built over a busy intersection.
The test was to see how people reacted towards different types of notice board. They designed 3 notice boards with different content, displaying them in turn for few days, and in between there would be some days with no notice board at all.
The results below show how many people still crossed the road, not choosing to use the walking bridge despite the signs:
No notice board
69.78%
"Please use walking bridge"
70.02%
"It only takes 9.4 seconds more to use the walking bridge"
Jamil Lawrance AKA Rise-Ascend, Rapper: "I've done a lot of, a significant amount of albums...and we developed a following."
And in 2009, attorney and part time rapper, Jamil Lawrance would embark on a path that would change him, and his music, forever.
........
'When I found out that the Chinese government actually does organ harvesting, they actually take the organs of living practitioners and they actually sell those organs on the black market, that's something that is appalling to the highest degree. Human beings are generally good people, and if you tell them that this type of thing is going on they will not stand for that, and no matter where this is taking place in the world they're going to stand up and say this has to end."
So Jamil got back in the studio. Adopting the name Rise-Ascend, he dedicated his music to raising awareness about the persecution, and spreading messages about Falun Gong.
He's been a hip-hop artist since high-school.
