Synthesizing the Literature Human trafficking: A synthesis of the literature
Researching human trafficking reveals several common themes. The first theme is that slavery continues to exist in modern society. The second theme is that slavery is a problem in modern America. The third theme is that slavery does not exist in real secrecy; Americans are exposed to slaves on a daily basis. The fourth theme is that slavery is a global problem, and that different countries respond to slavery in different ways. The fifth theme is that trafficking does not only exploit individuals, but also exploits their countries of origin. Taken together, one sees that modern-day human trafficking exhibits many of the social and moral problems as old-fashioned slavery.
Many people believe that slavery no longer exists because slavery has been criminalized in most nations. However, human enslavement exists...
Human trafficking is the second-largest source of illegal crime internationally, next to the drug trade (Tsalikis, 2011). Moreover, governments have been aware of the persistence of human trafficking for at least the last century. Many anti-trafficking efforts have failed because of the underlying racism and xenophobia that people in the most vulnerable populations face (Limoncelli, 2010). Rather than address the trafficking concerns, people have been content to persecute the victims as illegal aliens; a problem that persists in modern times.
One of the secrets of slavery is that it exists in the modern-day United States (Bales & Soodalter, 2007). The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 was the first federal law attempting to give law enforcement agents the tools they needed to deal with the phenomenon of modern slavery, but…
One of the secrets of slavery is that it exists in the modern-day United States (Bales & Soodalter, 2007). The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 was the first federal law attempting to give law enforcement agents the tools they needed to deal with the phenomenon of modern slavery, but federal laws are still not adequate to deal with the issue (Destefano, 2007). The federal government focuses on sex trafficking and prostitution and does not spend sufficient resources investigating other modern forms of slavery (Destefano, 2007).
Another theme about slavery is that, while it may be extremely secretive, slaves interact with society as a whole. Healthcare providers are likely to encounter victims of human trafficking. In fact, 28% of trafficked women saw a health care provider while still in captivity (Dovydaitis, 2011). Therefore, having front-line workers, such as health professionals, aware of how to spot and report trafficking is critical.
Another recurring theme about slavery is the global nature of human trafficking. All countries are source points for human trafficking. Furthermore, globalization makes it difficult to track victims of trafficking (Jones, Engstrom, Hilliard, & Diaz, 2007). Some countries aggressively go after traffickers, while other countries are more tolerant of the practice. For example, China is believed to have a significant human trafficking problem, but its procedures for prosecuting traffickers lack transparency and there are far fewer prosecutions than suspected incidents of slavery (Lagon, 2008). However, many nations are attempting to really fight human trafficking. For example, Cambodia is considered a hub of human trafficking in Southeast Asia (Lindstrom, 2008). However, the country is attempting to combat the problem and help stop illegal trafficking (Lindstrom, 2008). Given that governmental apathy helps contribute to the problem of human trafficking, these efforts may prove very beneficial. However, some countries are taking a victim-first approach that should help combat trafficking. For example, in Scotland the Equality and Human Rights Commission's chair was seeking to talk to victims of trafficking to help understand it from the perspective of a person who
Wondering what to do the articles tells that the study of David Pearson entitled "What Research Has to Say to the Teaching of Reading published by the International Association 1992 was the "most compelling research available." Pearnson's research claimed that "thoughtful proficient readers make connections, draw upon prior knowledge, create visual imagery, make inferences, ask questions, determine important ideas, and synthesize what they read." Lansdowne set out to test
This large number was selected to ensure that the power of statistical tests used in the study is of sufficient power to draw valid conclusions. It is expected that given the sensitive nature of the subject, there will be large numbers of selected participants who will decide not to participate, will drop out, or whose parents will not sign the consent form. All participants selected will be taken from
The achievement gap also may ultimately negatively affect the U.S. As it may cause the nation to become less competitive in the increasingly global communities (What is the…, 2009). In addition, research indicates that the achievement gap contributes to students who more likely grow up to be unemployed, incarcerated, and poor. Consequently, a quality education proves critical for Black children (Elder, ¶ 3). Causes Contributing to Achievement Gap Causes contributing to
Students Will Select a Construct of Interest My construct of interest is whether there are any prejudice tests that can accurately measure prejudice to races other than Blacks. Do the currently available standardized tests on prejudice measure prejudice to individuals other than Black people? Conduct research on other assessments used to measure the same or similar construct, The Modern Racism Scale According to the SAGE Handbook of prejudice, Stereotyping and Discrimination (Dovidio, 2010), the scale
Nursing Shortage Background and Current Reality The shortage of nursing staff in the workforce has become a global crisis. Numerous research articles and even books have been written on the subject from all around the world, all giving causal factors and possible solutions. As far back as 2002, "90 nurses' organizations, representing 69 countries and every geographic region of the world, reported shortages in their countries" (Clark & Clark, 2003). Moreover, the
PICOT Question and its Significance The PICOT question is: Does mindfulness meditation (I) reduce long-term risk factors and suicidal behaviors (O) among psychiatric patients (P) versus those who do not participate in the meditation programs (C)? This is of great significance to the nursing practice because psychiatric disorders are risk factors that cause an increase in the probability of a suicidal occurrence. As a result, it is imperative for psychiatric nurses
