I plan on first discussing Antonella Arthin’s topic of human trafficking.
What is the topic? Antonella Arhins’s topic is the relation/correlation between the diasporic community playing into the frequency of human trafficking and those individuals being exploited for labor. What is her research question? Her research question is: what role does the diasporic community play within the human trafficking practice and the role of exploitive labor? The significance of her research is to find and analyze the relation between victims, traffickers and the diaspora in regards to the human trafficking business. What is the significance? The diaspora is key so this is especially important. By looking at the role that the diaspora plays it helps to see
Who’s the audience of this topic? The audience of the article is everyone within the general academia world. Since it is a topic of information and inquiry it is both significant and important to everyone. Individuals both affected and those not affected by this research as well as the findings will have something to either relate to or become informed about. Since human trafficking is still very much an ongoing issue today as well as exploitative labor, it is important that the audience be anyone and everyone. This helps propel its significance and makes the reader want to further find out information perhaps after the reading is even completed. The individual parts of the topic, which are the victims, traffickers and diaspora all relate to one another, by identifying this it is easier to see the effects and the role that they play in human trafficking. By having three specific variables the research can begin to shine some light on the roles that each of them play. As said in the article diasporas play both a positive and negative role within the human trafficking practice and labor exploitation. I believe research topics like this that are able to reach a wider audience can have more of a last impact since they are
The article by Antonella Arhin that I analyzed shows how to take my general topic (diets and their effects on the Caribbean diaspora and indigenous people) and helped narrow it down to a specific question (the health issues that this can cause i.e. Diabetes). This will assist in coming up with more concise research methods and ways to arrive at these answers. By having a detailed, concise research question it will help me with explaining the significance, as well as the approach that I take and the audience that I plan on targeting. As said previously I believe if I can reach a wider audience especially individuals from all walks of life it will help with them really paying attention to the types of food and also the amount that is consumed. To ensure this the ethnographic and cast study approach are both key, by casting a larger net for information it will help with more descriptive
Prior and existing knowledge of trafficking reveals a general understanding of the term trafficking, and, minimal insight into the factors that encourage it. Though this information may appear to be a sufficient basis for understanding human trafficking, the author explicitly affirms the “serious” need for more information related to the field. In addition to ...
This new knowledge opened the door to years of research, as she studied how human trafficking occurred – how and where and who and why. After community college, she attended Aquinas and continued her studies in human trafficking. She even developed a new method to research local trafficking, since large
The journalist expresses her foundation of passion, of the subject through a personal experience. She tells of her earliest memories as a child with her distant relative who is a human trafficking victim. Ms. Threpkaew research shows, “Human trafficking consists of 68% of forced labor exploitation, 22% forced prostitution, and 10% state-imposed labor”. In many situations including, orders requested on Amazon, Thailand fishing industry, to the orange farms in California. Not only does she state the problem that we as a people aren’t doing enough to stop this harsh labor based upon basic statistics, but she also opposes a solution to that

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness (Declaration of Independence, ).” In the media there have been many movies, documentaries, articles, television broadcasts that centered on raising awareness for human trafficking. It has been going on for far too long and many don’t realize or recognize that is going on strongly in America and to Americans; as well as, surrounding countries. Human Trafficking by definition is the trade in humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual slavery, forced labor or for the extraction of organs or tissues, including surrogacy and ova removal. It is modern form of slavery that strips victims of their freedom and violates our nation’s promise that every person in the United States is guaranteed basic human rights. It is also a crime. Approximately three out of every 1,000 persons worldwide were in forced labor at any given point in time between 2002 and 2011. Victims of human trafficking include not only men and women lured into forced labor by the promise of a better life in the United States, but also boys and girls who were born and raised in here in the United States. Human trafficking and its relationship with the media/news will be discussed throughout the remainder of this paper, focus will be placed on how they present the topic, whether or not enough awareness is being raised toward the topic and is it making a difference. The news job is to inform the public of events that occurring around them. The paper will be focusing on new...
Human trafficking affects every country in the world, whether it is known to the public or not. There are many legal and non-legal responses in the world today helping to spread awareness and help victims that are affected. Human trafficking is transnational, affecting the boundaries and rights of people that are enslaved in these jobs, these traffickers thrive on the vulnerability of people. Both domestic and international responses are working to stop slavery throughout the world, many laws have been constituted because of these responses.
...icking in the Middle East as well as looking past gender, racial, and classist biases that may affect their perceptions of human trafficking and who it inherently affects. Migrant workers remain the most vulnerable to trafficking within the region and thus a reform of the kafala system as well as policies directed specifically at protecting migrant workers seem to be some of the crucial elements in the preventing forced labour and poor conditions of workers within the region.
In Mexico City, Karla Jacinto a survivor of human trafficking was raped 43,200 times over the course of four years. Targeted by a trafficker just at the young age of twelve she has been taken advantage of and manipulated. While waiting on some friends at a nearby subway station this older man at the age of 22 approached her with a his charm and a piece of candy as a gift. He lured her in with his kind words, gifts, and his fast car. In the CNN interview Karla says “He loved me, he brought me clothes, gave the attention I needed, brought me shoes, flowers, chocolates, everything was beautiful.” (Romo 1) About a week later Karla started to notice some change in the way he was acting, he was always gone with her being left behind. She also notice that when his cousins would show up to there apartment they would have a new girls every week. So when she finally built up to the courage to ask him about what was going on
In this paragraph I am going to tell you how human trafficking works. First the people who are trafficked are often those who are in debt or living in poverty. Traffickers exploit these types of situations, and trick these individuals into believing that they will sponsor them to get a good paying job somewhere abroad. Next, upon arrival to the destination, these individuals are often shocked to realize that they are not given the work that they were promised and instead, are forced to work in conditions that they did not agree to. Traffickers also take away passports and any other means of identification of these people so that the police will not be able to help them. Finally, victims are often told that they must now work until they pay back their debt, and can also be sold to va...
“Injuries of human dignity and Human rights of a globalized society. Nobody may be held in slavery or peonage; Slavery and slave trade are in all forms forbidden”. These are the words of the Universal declaration of human rights (United Nations, 1948).Human trafficking is just another name for modern-day slavery, where the victims involved are forced and deceived into labor and sexual exploitation. Exploitation referring to using others for prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery, or the removal of organs. The numbers are scary. Almost 600,000 to 800,000 women and children are annually trafficked across national borders. This does not count for the numbers that are trafficked within their own countries. Human trafficking is very much hidden and accurate data and the extent of nature of human trafficking are hard to calculate. Trafficked victims are often in dangerous positions and may be unwilling and too scared to jeopardize their lives to report or seek help from authorities. Victims live daily with emotional and physical abuse, inhumane treatment, and threats to their families, like they are going to torture...
Amid a storm of controversies including gay marriage, state data hacking, and a heated debate on the Confederate Flag, South Carolina’s media has paid little attention to the pressing issue of human trafficking. Perhaps this is due to the viewpoint of many Americans that human trafficking is a third world problem far removed from them and the people that they care about (Archer). This simply leaves them unconcerned, and the media cannot sell topics that people are not upset or in an uproar over. However America, including South Carolina, is not exempt from this type of human rights abuse. Without proper recognition of the importance and prevalence of this issue from the general public, human trafficking cannot be solved even when the government takes combative action. This is the case of South Carolina legislators, who in November 2012, had House Bill 3757 signed by Governor Nikki Haley to go into effect on December 15th, 2012 (Conley). House Bill 3757 is one of the most promising pieces of anti-human trafficking legislation ever turned into law with many beneficial effects and ideas, but even it is not without its issues and areas for potential improvements.
Summary: We see that there are many different aspects and types of human trafficking that everyone should be made aware of. As a whole human trafficking is a lucrative industry raking in $150 BILLION globally. The impact that this industry has on its victims is
Scholars also identified human trafficking continues to capture the imagination of the global public (Goździak et at., 2015:5). One of the serious challenges in the world today is the issue of human trafficking. A 2005 report issued by the International Labor Organization estimated human trafficking to be the third most profitable illicit business after drug trafficking and arms dealing (Daoud,
) Some critics argue that when governments target “human trafficking” based on the UN focus they are targeting the less political and much smaller form of exploitation. The real issues may relate more fundamentally to the social inequality, capital exploitation and in some cases corrupt governments. Discuss.
Human trafficking has been known to last longer than the regular history of slavery did. Human trafficking has taken the lives of many and continues to do that daily. The topics that will be in my research paper are Immigrants, females and children, geography, causes, the process, outcome and prevention. These are good topics for this paper because no one deserves to go through such a horror that others have lived and that others will. Trafficking in people is a serious crime, and is a dignified infringement of human rights. Every year millions of people, no matter what the race, religion, sex, ethnic, where they are born, all of that, fall into the hands of human traffickers and are taken against their will to do unexplainable things and go
