¶ … Finally, explain any insights you gained or conclusions you drew as a result.
When I originally embarked upon this research project, I had no idea the extent to which human trafficking was a problem internationally. I assumed it was relegated to a few, shadowy industries in the U.S. However, human trafficking and human enslavement is pervasive across the globe. 'Feeder' nations in the impoverished regions of Latin America and Eastern Europe send human traffic to the United States and to the rest of the developed world, where victims are used in the sex industry, factories, in agriculture, or as domestic workers (Loring et al. 2007). Contrary to stereotypes, some of the victims initially come willingly, lured by promises of better jobs. When they arrive, however, they find themselves in a situation far different from what they imagined, or they may be indebted to the person who transported them and forced to work for their freedom.
Victims live in a constant state of fear -- fear of the authorities as well as fear of their captors. They fear being deported and being sent back to the conditions they tried to flee. I was surprised to learn that 28% of women living in conditions that could be called human slavery had actually seen a healthcare professional, while still under the control of their enslaver (Dovydaitis 2011). This hostile attitude to the authorities, sadly, may not be unjustified,...
The conditions for obtaining a T. visa, entitling a victim to work in the U.S., are not always easy, and require the woman to fully cooperate with the authorities and prove that they will face harm if they are returned to their home nations.
But my most substantive change of mind is in regards to the need for a gender-specific approach to ending trafficking. It is estimated that as many as eighty percent of all trafficked victims are female (Loring et al. 2007:1). Improving opportunities for women and girls in the developing world is a critical and often-overlooked component of reducing the incentives for women to enter dangerous situations in the first place.
Finally, explain insights or conclusions you gained as a result. Be specific. Opposing perspectives: Human trafficking At first glance, it might seem as if every right-minded human being would be opposed to human trafficking. While on some level this is the case, there are considerable divisions in terms of the question of how to address the phenomenon. Some people believe that human trafficking should be addressed from a feminist perspective, focusing
socialization agents you selected and explain how these agents influence gender role development across two different cultures. Then, describe two socialization agents that influenced your own gender role development and explain how. Finally, explain how your gender role development might have been affected if you were raised in a different culture. Culture and gender: The socialization agents of the schools and the popular media While students may often debate issues related
The selection of a leader is crucial for a team to attain its objectives. A second best practice is using conflict to drive a team forward rather than let it become an inhibitor to overall progress. As the book, course materials and readings illustrate, conflict can be highly effective in propelling a team to attaining its goals, providing it is used positively and for validating the team's common direction. The
Small & Medium Enterprises (SME) Can Gain the Strategic Benefits of ERP Agility, time-to-market and insights into market dynamics are a few of the many benefits of standardizing the operations of an organization on an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Up until about a decade ago, the economics of enterprise software relegated these systems to larger, more diverse and well-capitalized enterprises, with the majority of ERP systems being installed and customized
" (1997) According to McAdams, rational choice theorists in the 1980s "in various disciplines began to study norms." (1997) Specifically the work of Land and Cooter attempt to explain what it is that in areas of Asia, "ethnic minorities tended to dominate the middleman position in many industries." (McAdams, 1997) the conclusions of Landa and Cooter were that the "ethnically homogenous middlemen groups" are successful in nations that have no
Treme Explain your plan for dealing with risk by developing a contingency plan The risk embedded within the overall market is that of uncertain macroeconomic factors and their overall implications on consumer confidence. Unemployment remains stubbornly high at 7.7%. Unemployment has never seen these levels since the great depression (Beaudreau, 1996). Median incomes in the United States have fallen from $51,000 prior to 2008 to a now more modest $48,000 (DeNavas, 2012).
