Civil Rights News Source Review 3

Describe the event/issue that is being covered and explain why it represents a civil rights issue. Briefly summarize what the article covered. If you quote the article, explain the importance of the quoted language. If different opinions are presented, be sure to say who you think is right and why. Does the article cover the issue/event well?
After you analyze the article’s coverage, add a short paragraph in which you discuss the reliability of the publisher (the newspaper or magazine or journal or website). Does it give a particular slant, as far as you can tell? Can you identify reasons to trust it? Or not to? (Hint: look up the organization on Wiki–is it a reliable organization or are there questions about its credibility?) Do most of the articles that surround the one you chose appear to be factual? In other words, this part of your review should be about the publication, not the article itself. For example, if the article you chose was published in The New York Times, this part of your review should be about The New York Times. This part of the assignment will help you learn to evaluate the reliability of particular publications and other sources.

Discussion 3 Human Trafficking

Despite international agreements and national laws banning slavery, it continues in all parts of the world in many different forms. Slavery today includes: Debt bondage or bonded labor – poor people, with no other source of help have to take out loans from their employer to meet their basic needs and get trapped in an unending cycle of loans and impossible repayments; human trafficking – transporting or receiving people, who have been abducted or deceived with offers of good jobs, and then forcing them to work in exploitative conditions that they would not have chosen; descent slavery – some people are born into slavery because they belong to a group discriminated against by their society, their rights are ignored and they are treated as property; forced domestic service – Hidden away from public notice in private homes, domestic workers can suffer a range of abuses at the hands of their employers; and the worst forms of child labor – this may include debt bondage to pay off parents’ debts, commercial sexual exploitation or forced recruitment into armed forces.

As a consumer of international, and national, products that may or may not have been made at the hands of an enslaved individual, what are your responsibilities, if any?

Making a report

This is an emergency. Your supervisor has been directed to make a report to a Congressional sub-committee in the morning, and you have to prepare the statement she will present. She must make a short, crisp presentation about the status of the space programs of two nations. She has been told: no history, no review of launch vehicles, just what is happening right now and what is expected to happen in the next 12 months.

What is the situation that the two space agencies face at the present moment? Are things moving ahead or is there turmoil? Are there sufficient resources for what they are doing or will they run short? Have there been any significant developments or occurrences in the past six months? What changes have been made to their plans in the past few months?
As for the future, what is the launch schedule for the next 12 months? Is anything new and interesting planned? What are they likely to do that could be of particular interest to the United States? Any manned launches? Are there any cooperative ventures planned with other nations that would be of interest or concern to the U.S.? Will any new systems or equipment come on line in the next year? Will there be any lunar or Martian or other missions beyond LEO that we should be concerned about?
The specs of your report are as follows:
1. Choose any two nations other than the United States and the one for which you are preparing your major country report.
2. Each country is to be presented separately.
3. The overall document is to have four sections with estimated lengths in parentheses:
a. Introduction (~100 words)
b. Country one summary (~750 words)
c. Country two summary (~750 words)
d. Implications for the United States – what does it mean and what should we do? (~250 words)
4. Each report is to be no less than 1,500 and no more than 2,000 words in length.
5. Each report must contain bibliographic information for at least five relevant reference documents that you used and that could be of interest to the sub-committee.
Assessment will be based on content, crispness, and coverage. Presenting to Congress is no joke, your boss will not be pleased if this report doesn't make them look good.
