In my research on the topic of Human Trafficking, I have learned the following: that there are an estimated 600,000 – 800,000 people who are trafficked across international borders each year. I have also determined that human trafficking represents a significant criminal underworld, that takes away personal liberties and undermines community and safety.

These observations lead me to ask the following question:

How can human trafficking be prevented or stopped? This question has several plausible answers. For example, according to Chuang, the issue of human trafficking must be considered from the global perspective. More specially, he suggests that while trafficking is made up of a series of ...

For example, when Xia, the new village head called for his helper to take his donkey, the latter willingly obliged. Moreover, the high opinion of the leader translates to ...

The reason for this fine is due to the immeasurable level of environmental damage that this caused.

It is in the public domain that China, for a long time now, has been both a patrilineal and also a patriarchal society. It puts a greater emphasis on the significance of a family setup and the hierarchy that exists in it. The superiority of the male gender, on one hand, and the inferiority of the female gender, on the other hand, have been concepts that are deeply rooted in this community’s culture for almost two thousand years. These aspects are magnificent in numerous aspects of the Chinese social life. Women in this society, as a result, have ...

The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

This adjustment is measured by GDP deflator that reflects the price change in the current year comparing to the base or previous year. The percentage change of the nominal GDP in the last quarter analyzed compared to the previous period was 1.2 %, while the percentage change of the nominal ...
