Foster School of Business I was born in a small village in the outskirts of Uzbekistan. It is one of the poorest and most isolated areas of the country. The economy of the region, as well as of the whole country was supported by the Soviet Union. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Uzbekistan was burdened with high unemployment, rapid inflation, and shattered infrastructure that could not support any economic revival. Most families, especially those in suburbs of the country, were struggling
In the modern world, being a culturally defined Uzbek is quite hard for me. I often ask myself what it means to me to be part of an Uzbek culture. To my dismay, I don’t quite feel like I’m an Uzbek person anymore. Having been away for too long, my Uzbek language has deteriorated, and my cultural values have undergone both a plastic and internal surgery. It is quite shocking to realize how acutely and noticeably I have lost touch with my Uzbek-ness, while my flight to modernism and the subsequent

most cannot afford, are expelled from school, or authorities beat them. After the cotton has been collected, the Uzbek government sells the cotton at a high price to earn money.

different peoples living in Afghan society. All together, fourteen different ethnicities can be discovered in Afghanistan. I have found the following: Arab, Hindu-Sikh, Farsiwans, Wakhis, Sunni Brahui, Qizilbash, Aimaqs, Baluchs, Nuristanis, Turkmens, Uzbeks, Hazaras, Tajik, and Pashtun people. Hazaras tend to be on the bottom of what we would call the Afghanistan “food chain”. This means that these certain people are not well respected or liked in Afghan society. Most Hazaras like to live in Hazarajat
appear too “enlightened.” Notes 1If my reader wonders why I am taking so great an interest in this matter, I would like to point out that his or her (especially her) speculations are totally erroneous and irrelevant to the subject. 2Note that Uzbek is a Persian, and Candide is a German. Apparently when French writers create a hero with “limited” sexual prowess, they don’t assign him a French origin, probably preserving the myth of French sexual vigor.

fuel shortage was solved in many places; but unlike people's expectations the price further increased. With the sudden increase in prices, assumptions that ethnic favoritism is involved in this issue also increased, and many people started to blame Uzbeks and Turks for taking advantage of their ethnicity and setting prices without government consent. While some people blame ethnic favoritism for causing such a problem, some others believe the change in fuel prices has nothing to do with ethnicity

Anti-Slavery International, founded in 1839 to campaign against slavery, is the oldest human rights organization in the world that is based out of London. Over the last 174 years, in an attempt to create a slave free world, they have created and accomplished many feats following their basic motto, “Today’s fight for tomorrow’s freedom.” The ability to join with other organizations with the same hopes has enabled the organizations lobbyist an opportunity to reach into the highest sectors of government
The United States Army consists of soldiers from many diverse cultures. Citizenship is not a requirement to join the Army, so people enlist from across the United States as well as from many countries around the world. The Army has its own unique culture that is a conglomeration of the many cultures that make up its population.

“After drug dealing, human trafficking is tied with the illegal arms trade as the second largest criminal industry in the world, and it is the fastest-growing” (Cantrell 1). Traffickers have a virtually unlimited reservoir of victims to draw from since humans reproduce and there will always be a demand for cheap labor or unconventional sex. Human trafficking can easily go unnoticed if people become too involved in their own worlds to realize the signs of human trafficking or the difference between
