Children Trafficking

Over the course of the semester, I will be discussing the issues facing globalization with a focus on child trafficking. Globalization’s effects on the global market and people around the world, making it easy to transfer products and culture for profit and capital. With this global playing field, people are mistreated, abused, and dehumanized. I am interested in focusing on children being pushed around into labor and prostitution to fit within the global marketplace.

I want to focus on childhood prostitution and mistreatment, discussing the lack of coverage and importance shown on women and children trafficking. Children are the future of this world, and people cannot just sit back and watch as children are being dehumanized all around us. People need to be informed of the issues to be able to make a difference and change the problem.

Globalization is a central theme of our class, along with looking at the effects of what globalization does to people, culture, and society. I would like to focus directly on children and the connections of the global market and trafficking, learn how the next generation is being shaped by issues of children trafficking. Taking a deep look in how trafficking has connections to gender, race, and economic status.

This semester I want to become more informed of the issues of children trafficking. Understand the worldly ramifications of dehumanization of children focusing on the connections of globalization. I would also want to inform others of the horrific problems facing children within the world of trafficking. How the effects are seen for generations and connection to cultural believes.
