Cambodia has very bad human trafficking problem, which causes a lot of the people in Cambodia to be sold into slavery. Cambodia is trying to combat the issue, but with lack of infrastructure its very are to fight.

  • What are the Causes of Inequality?

    2446 Words  | 5 Pages

    Throughout the nation’s 2000-year history, Cambodia, a developing Southeast Asian country located on the Indochina Peninsula, has experienced a number of glories and tragedies; as a matter of fact, it was until 1993 that the democratic election, supported by the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC), were conducted to restore peace in Cambodia under a coalition government (CIA World Factbook, 2013). In order to transform from the negative peace which is just the absent of direct violence to the positive peace meaning the absent of cultural and structural violence, Cambodia, the younger member of Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), has been trying as hard as possible to address the problem of inequality with the obvious hope that if inequality is not natural, according to Hobbes, but rather constructed, there are probably chances to level down its impacts or even demolish its existence.

  • Bottle Rocket Evaluation

    683 Words  | 2 Pages

    At the beginning of this assignment, both McKenna and I had no idea how to build a bottle rocket. After visiting several websites and researching multiple ways of making it, we settled on a single bottle rocket with a rounded nose cone and three fins. This was chosen because it was the easiest model to create and that meant a less likely chance of messing up. We were just concerned with getting the rocket into the air. The rounded nose cone was created by layering paper and then rolling it and folding it in way that fit around the bottle and was not a completely pointed cone. We then layered it with duct tape to keep it somewhat stable. Before attaching it to the bottle, we put five fishing weights in the top and then stuffed the remaining space with paper. After that, an outrageous amount of duct tape was used to put the nose cone in place. Following that we started to work on the fins. There were two different fin shapes that we tried. The first was a long skinny triangle. The second type was a rather wide triangle with two of the corners chopped off a bit. Each of them was cut out of cardboard and was then covered in duct tape in order to keep the cardboard from getting wet and

  • The Cambodian Genocide

    985 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Cambodian Genocide has the historical context of the Vietnam War and the country’s own civil war. During the Vietnam War, leading up to the conflicts that would contribute to the genocide, Cambodia was used as a U.S. battleground for the Vietnam War. Cambodia would become a battle ground for American troops fighting in Vietnam for four years; the war would kill up to 750,00 Cambodians through U.S. efforts to destroy suspected North Vietnamese supply lines. This devastation would take its toll on the Cambodian peoples’ morale and would later help to contribute that conflicts that caused the Cambodian genocide. In the 1970’s the Khmer rouge guerilla movement would form. The leader of the Khmer rouge, Pol Pot was educated in France and believed in Maoist Communism. These communist ideas would become important foundations for the ideas of the genocide, and which groups would be persecuted. The genocide it’s self, would be based on Pol Pot’s ideas to bring Cambodia back to an agrarian society, starting at the year zero. His main goal was to achieve this, romanticized idea of old Cambodia, based on the ancient Cambodian ruins, with all citizens having agrarian farming lives, and being equal to each other. Due to him wanting society to be equal, and agrarian based, the victims would be those that were educated, intellectuals, professionals, and minority ethnic g...

  • Ice Exploration Experiment

    Brief overview: John is in first grade, age six. The blue ice exploration took place within an empty classroom at the end of the day. The environment was familiar to both of us, quiet and there was plenty of room for us to have the bucket on the table. I had the other materials on a different table. I was really excited to try this experiment with John after seeing our guest Dr. Susan Rauchwerk conduct the same experiment. I had a list of “nuggets” I had written down prior to John joining me that I took away from our class time exploration. I was really hoping we could touch upon a few of these items. The materials used in this exploration were: a see-through bucket (similar to the size used in the classroom exploration), blue ice cubes, cold water, and a spoon.

    ...ncial resources, the expensive cost of education (Gorman, Pon & Sok, 1999 & Kasumi, 2011), and the demand of household labor force (Kasumi, 2011). In the sphere of society, moreover, traditional thinking of conservative people mentally influences the roles and responsibilities of women. Code of Women Behavior, for instance, along with the pre-dominance of social, traditional, and cultural norms and values of Cambodia’s identity is still structured in the society (Kasumi, 2011). While legal national policies and legislations are adopted by RGC, the implementation and enforcement mechanisms are not sufficiently powerful enough to support women and prevent them from gender-related violence. Extrajudicial punishment by employers and sexual abuse by male owners (GAD/C et al., 2009) are major concerns while perpetrators are rarely to be punished by the law (Kasumi, 2011).

  • Movie Analysis: Human Trafficking

    Some of the most coming areas, are Russia, Eastern Europe, Hong Kong, Japan, and Colombia, theses place are goldmines for trafficking. Human trafficking is usually controlled by large criminal organizations, criminals exploit lack of opportunities, promise good jobs or opportunities for study, and then force the victims to become prostitutes, so basically these people approach the unstable situation of the persons and try to convince them with false hopes this is one of the principal causes of human trafficking because someone convinces another person’s to do anything with the promise of money or a better life. Therefore, a one way I think countries could help fix the major concern of human trafficking is to try to increase the work and the education on people that lives in poor zones because there are the principal victims also make some campaigns to prevent the people and try to apply the laws to these criminals’ organizations around the world. I believe if you educated the people on human trafficking in the areas from the people are taking from you can reduce the number of people that are taking into under places to be force to be a sex slave. However, not only should they be educated on human trafficking they should be also educated school wise as well so that will able to distinguish a scheme from a real opportunity. Also if you provide good jobs with reasonable pay people want be so gullible and easily persuade into

  • An Experiment with an Air Pump

    Is it ethical or even helpful to try to impose order on a haphazard existence? Is it right to play God, to steal the limelight from the cosmos? Man used to ponder existence, but with the increasing possibilities of science, we now ponder our power over existence. In “An Experiment with an Air Pump,” Shelagh Stephenson uses symbolism associated with Isobel as a voice of foreboding in a society “enraptured by the possibilities of science” (3). Stephenson associates Isobel with a bird, a pile of bones, and a sheep to reveal the dark side of the “light,” the scientific revolution.

  • Cambodian Youth Essay

    1525 Words  | 4 Pages

    Youth are being forced to migrate due to dwindling land resources and poor employment opportunities. This takes them away from their family and community and also exposes them to many risks like sexual reproduction health risks, drug and alcohol abuse and criminals, including those involved in human trafficking. Women are at particular risk from the threats like STI’s and unwanted pregnancies as well as gender-based violence. Additionally, partially due to this, Cambodia has the highest prevalence of HIV and AIDS in the region (Citeseerx, 2002). Also the most common jobs for migrating young people, especially men, are in construction and day labouring because many have little to no skills and limited education. Labouring jobs pose further risks on youths from poor conditions like long hours, night work, heavy work and hot

In Bangladesh many of the victims of human trafficking have nothing left and no where to go so they turn to traffickers seeking what they hope will be a better life. Men, women, and children are trafficked every day for a variety of reasons. These reasons range from prostitution to debt bondage.
