RESEARCH PROPOSAL
RESEARCH PROPOSAL: Human Trafficking
Introduction
Human trafficking is the abduction of a human by a fellow human and transported for selling to other areas far away from where they were captured for them to be slaves, sex tools and objects of making money. This is the third largest international crime industry just after drug and firearms trafficking respectively. This area is important to study because human trafficking needs to be stopped due to the fact that it is inhuman and it shows no respect to fellow humans. Human trafficking is an act of cruelty and it reduces human dignity. Even animals have more dignity than those who are in the human trafficking business.
The leading research question we have chosen is “Can human trafficking be compacted by defining the characteristics of both victims and traffickers and using law enforcement?”
Our working hypothesis is that human trafficking can be compacted effectively by defining the characteristics of both victims and traffickers and using law enforcement.
Human trafficking is one of the major problems that are facing many governments. Every year, illegal immigrants are arrested without legal identification documents. On the other hand, other people are caught transporting illegal immigrants to other countries. If the characteristics of both the traffickers and victims were known to the law enforcement authorities, human trafficking would be a solved problem.
The aim of the research is to eradicate the problem of human trafficking by trying to investigate the characteristics of both the victims and traffickers and evaluating how it would be beneficial to law enforcement agencies.
Human trafficking has been a problem facing many countries for many years. Many governments have tried to eradicate this problem by using their law enforcement agencies with minimal success. As a result, those countries lose millions of revenue per year in the fight against human trafficking. The purpose of this research is to cut out the costs used in the fight against human trafficking by finding out about the characteristics of both the victims and traffickers and how it would help law enforcement agencies.
Some of the questions relevant to complete this research are: What do I need for the research? Why do trafficking? Does it benefit? Does is show respect to human life? What is the fate of the victims? What is the state doing to eradicate this problem? What is the penalty for those found guilty of trafficking? What are the effects of trafficking?
The research problem is crucial as it would help solve the problem of human trafficking cutting down on the costs spent by law enforcement agencies on investigations.
The cost of this research might be high as it would involve traveling to human trafficking hotspots. Apart from that, language barriers are likely to be encountered as people speak different languages. Despite that, the traffickers and victims may fail to provide crucial i ...

Response 1:
For me, this weeks’ readings were more difficult than last weeks. Human right is such a powerful subject because, in my view, it’s a big “What’s in it for me”? “There was outrage about the Holocaust, but the fact is that genocide and crimes against humanity were integral to European colonization of the 18th through 20th centuries” (Benjamin 2009). I keep circling back to this point as Western Democracies hold themselves in such esteem, a vast majority of issues were self-created through colonization. Only four of the worlds’ countries were not colonized by Europe; Japan, Korea, Thailand, Liberia (Fisher 2015). I believe that legacy of living under forced rule creates a deep, systemic culture of potential abuse. The 2020 Human Rights Watch world reports identifies human rights violations or notable situations in120 nations or 61 percent of all countries (Human Rights Watch 2020). As complete as that sounds, it further reports more situation under investigation (ibid). It includes the United States for its criminal legal system (death penalty, racial disparity of incarcerated), juveniles in the court system, racial justice and policing and on and on. Going back further in our history, our genocide against the Native American population and the linkage between Nazi Germany patterning its Nuremburg Laws after our Jim Crow laws (Rose 2018) should give us pause for thought on why this is so important and how committed we should be to the cause. How did the United States escape shame and punishment for its own apartheid with Jim Crow when South Africa did not? So, we ask how we determine if human rights IOs are effective? Big issues like genocide, famine, displacement, refugees, make headlines, create some international action but then fade into the former news cycle. Human Rights Watch (HRW) provides an annual report on global issues. But how many people know what HRW is? This comes across as rather jaded and I suppose it is a realist point of view as only the strongest survive and nations only act when they can get something in return. Agreeing to human rights treaties offers nothing in return aside from the satisfaction of standing up for other humans.
Hathaway (2007) considers important factors of why states agree to human rights treaties. I find it obvious that less than democratic countries with poor human rights records buck these types of treaties because they have no foundational respect for human rights. The observation, “formal international legal enforcement of the treaties is minimal to nonexistent” Merry (2006), reminds me of Robin Williams describing how the police in the UK stop a crime by saying, “Stop, or I’ll say stop again!” (Williams 1986). It goes back to my original question of what is in it for me? Is naming and shaming the best route (Meernik, et al. 2012)? Is it the boomerang theory? IOs have made strides in broadening our understanding of human rights.

SOCW 6051 Week 11 Discussion 1:
My Initial discussion post is as follows:
The website https://www.udayton.edu/artssciences/ctr/hrc/abolition_ohio/index.php talks about partnership with members of community and organization towards anti-human trafficking in Ohio by preventing human trafficking, protecting victims and survivors, and prosecuting the criminals through creating awareness, research and education across the country (University of Dayton, n.d.). It accomplishes this through a program known as School Trafficking Outreach Program- STOP. STOP aims at creating awareness and education on human trafficking prevention. It educates youths, members of the community and school personnel through engaging and comprehensive anti-human trafficking program. It distributes STOP materials across high schools in the Miami Valley. The victim service matrix helps law enforcement and service providers working with victims in this region (University of Dayton, n.d.). The listed organizations and agencies help legally and in life skill training. It also has a wide variety of resources on anti-human trafficking ranging from audio to governmental agencies.
From the information I have found, I would support Veronica and other victims of human trafficking by listening to them as this will help them understand that I am willing to help. The victims may not open up immediately therefore, I would not be judgmental or pressure them. Most importantly, I would avoid blaming the victim.
I would increase my awareness of human trafficking by learning indicators of human trafficking through training which is available to educators (Plummer, et al., 2014). Also, I would teach others about human trafficking through an event that aims at raising awareness, for example, watching a documentary on sex trafficking and discussing the film. To become an ally with the victims, I would volunteer in anti-human trafficking groups in society. I would also learn about the culture of these victims as well as become aware of the oppression they faced.
To support this group of victims, I would take the following steps. First, I would learn about the red flags ad be vigilant of signs of human trafficking (Adams, et al., 2018). I would then initiate a private conversation and let go of any expectations I have. I would also believe the person and build on their strengths. Taking their fears seriously and validating their feelings is another step. Importantly, let the victim open up when they feel comfortable to do so.

Week 5, Discussion Question 2,
· Do you believe that US consumers bear any responsibility for the existence of sweat shops in other countries? Why or why not? Today's social contract requires that retailers provide consumers with competitively priced merchandise that is produced under fair and humane conditions, a demand that is increasingly difficult to meet in a global environment where retail buyers are separated from merchandise suppliers both geographically and structurally. As retailers have increasingly turned to outsourcing as a means of protecting bottom line performance, they have become increasingly vulnerable to attack by sweatshop critics. $10.00 a day may be a good living in said country. My only worry is conditions that are unsafe for people. Developing nations don’t have OSHA .I believe the company needs to have the responsibility that its workers are safe. Pay is determined on what the market will bare.
· Discuss the impact of globalization on the human services field. Why is it important for human service workers in local practice to be aware of human rights violations on an international level? Globalizationcan seem a remote process, related only to the economic and commercial world. However, it impacts (differentially) onthe work opportunities and living conditions of populations around the world and has also influenced thinking about welfare policies, including through state provision. It thus has implications for the practice and educationofsocial and community workers in both affluent andpoverty stricken states. In addition to social professionals who seek opportunities to work internationally, globalization is also affecting the practices of those who would previously have seen their work as essentially rooted in local conditions and community needs.
· Discuss a global human services issue you are interested in. How does it affect you? Slavery could be present in your own community. It is often well concealed in the large cities, in sweatshops, in private homes using domestic workers, and in service industries such as food services and landscaping. It can also go without detection at remote locations such as in mines and on farms using migrant workers.

Slavery is a shorter term for human trafficking. People are kept against their will and forced to perform various types of work that include prostitution or long hours of physical labor for little or no pay. These people are enslaved for many years of their lives, or until death.

Introduction
Human trafficking has become a major concern today, which entails the illegal trade of individuals and for exploitation or commercial gain. It can be considered modern-day slavery where force, fraud, or coercion obtain an individual for labor or commercial sex. As a result of these concerns, the United States of America established human trafficking taskforces to help address this issue. Human trafficking task forces are multidisciplinary teams that have been created to provide numerous services and resources to victims. These taskforces have the responsibility of investigating and prosecuting persons who engage in human trafficking. Phoenix, a city located in Arizona, has its own human trafficking task force, which aids in the fight against human trafficking. This task force has had several success stories on the issue of human trafficking, where they have saved numerous victims and prosecuted a large number of individuals who participate in human trafficking (Fordyce, 2012). Although they have numerous successes, this task force has to deal with several challenges in their line of work.
Problem Statement
The Human Trafficking Task Force in Phoenix, Arizona, has had numerous successes fighting against human trafficking. However, this task force has to deal with numerous challenges, making it difficult to fight human trafficking effectively and efficiently (Fordyce, 2012). The study subjects will be members of the human trafficking task force in Phoenix, Arizona, and the study aims to start from January 2022 to July 2022. The data will be collected from the headquarters of the Human Trafficking Task Force in Phoenix to identify the challenges which these members face. This study is important because it will identify the challenges the task force is dealing with to establish the strategies and resources needed to overcome these challenges. Therefore it is important to identify these challenges and provide recommendations on how to address them.

With a range of experts from different disciplines and professions, this text comprehensively
explains human trafficking as it exists and is being addressed in the twenty-first century.
The first section gives an overview of the issue and contextualizes it within a human rights
and historical framework. The second section provides the reader with more detailed,
interdisciplinary information about trafficking. The third section, which contains a chapter
written by a former FBI agent, focuses on the antitrafficking movement and addresses
international responses to the problem, as well as considerations for working with victims.
Human Trafficking closes with a chapter about how trafficking is being addressed and how
indi viduals, larger social groups, and organizations can get involved in putting an end to
the crime and to helping survivors.
Human Trafficking is essential reading for professionals in law enforcement, human
services, and health care, and for concerned citizens interested in human rights and making
a difference in their communities. This book is also intended for use in undergraduate and
graduate interdisciplinary courses in human trafficking.
Mary C. Burke is a Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychology and
Counseling at Carlow University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She has been involved in
anti-human trafficking efforts since 2004 and is the founder of the Project to End Human
Trafficking (www.endhumantrafficking.org).

Gabrielle Hetland
Although the United States has a very strong and effective intelligence community, there are several unavoidable challenges that set back some of the processes and hinders the intelligence community from working to its full potential. The most important challenges that I see include flow of information, civil liberties and secrecy.
Since the United States does not have one large domestic intelligence agency that completes all intelligence-related tasks, it is much more difficult for them to be able to transfer information to the right people in a timely manner. I think it is very beneficial that we are able to have such a wide variety of intelligence agencies, each with a specific mission set so subject matter experts can focus on their mission to the best of their abilities, however, on the flip side, many of them have to jump through hoops to get additional information on certain subjects or track down the originator of a product. Having so many different agencies requires a lot more work to get a good flow of communication between the agencies and a lot of valuable information can be lost in the process.
Civil liberties always has and always will be a major challenge for the intelligence community. In order to do their job effectively, intelligence personnel need to be able to conduct surveillance around the clock. Especially in today’s world, people do not want their rights to private taken away, making this jobs very difficult for intelligence and law enforcement personnel. With the rise of domestic terrorism and homegrown extremists, the IC will continue to need increased access in to people’s lives and workplace in order to detect these criminals and prevent future activity.
Lastly, secrecy has been a major challenge to the IC because much of the information dealt with is classified and needs to remain a secret for national security concerns, however, people do not want information kept from there. It is difficult to determine what information should be released to the public to ensure their safety while at the same time, not disrupting an operation. I think the IC has done everything right so far in regards to these issues. There is really no way to fix these challenges while at the same time maintain the high level of national security that we have.

Unit VII International Juvenile Justice Systems in Comparison t.docxmarilucorr
Unit VII: International Juvenile Justice Systems in Comparison to the United States
Introduction
In this unit, you will learn and analyze the importance of understanding how other countries from around the world face the challenges of juvenile delinquency, prevention, and trends.
(Greyerbaby, 2014)
Introduction
Each country has particular challenges when attempting to deter and prevent juvenile delinquency.
In this unit, we will discuss common international trends facing many countries.
You will also become familiar with the differences and similarities of key juvenile justice systems.
The Beijing Rules
Let’s being this unit by examining the Beijing Rules.
By examining these rules, you will have an example and a broader knowledge and/or understanding on how juveniles are treated in comparison to the United States.
(Peggy_Marco, 2006)
The Beijing Rules
It is important to note throughout world history that not every country perceived the humane treatment of prisoners as an important element of their juvenile justice system.
The definition of what is considered humane treatment is often left up solely to the government of each country.
However, the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Administration of Juvenile Justice, or the Beijing Rules, offer some oversight and world standard to the humane treatment of juveniles.
The Beijing Rules
(United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2006)
The Beijing Rules
Member States shall seek, in conformity with their respective general interests, to further the well-being of the juvenile and her or his family (1.1).
Member States shall endeavor to develop conditions that will ensure for the juvenile a meaningful life in the community, which, during that period in life when she or he is most susceptible to deviant behavior, will foster a process of personal development and education that is as free from crime and delinquency as possible. (1.2)
Sufficient attention shall be given to positive measures that involve the full mobilization of all possible resources, including the family, volunteers and other community groups, as well as schools and other community institutions, for the purpose of promoting the well-being of the juvenile, with a view to reducing the need for intervention under the law, and of effectively, fairly and humanely dealing with the juvenile in conflict with the law. (1.3)
The Beijing Rules
(United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2006)
Juvenile justice services shall be systematically developed and coordinated with a view to improving and sustaining the competence of personnel involved in the services, including their methods, approaches and attitudes (1.6).
These Rules shall be implemented in the context of economic, social and cultural conditions prevailing in each Member State(1.5).
Juvenile justice shall be conceived as an integral part of the national development process of each country, within a ...
2. Step 1: State the focus question 1
Human trafficking continues to be a very serious problem throughout the world on a
regularly basis. For our problem to be an interdisciplinary problem it must address open-ended
questions and, to be too complex, it must be very researchable to find a solution to our
problem that the world is experiencing. The main focus question that my disciplines consist of,
human resources, communication studies, and organizational management, will deal with the
question of what are the key concepts of resolving human trafficking within today`s world?
The current version can go in multiple directions as there are two benefits of asking
open ended questions as interdisciplinary research process and theory points out, “The
question can deepen an existing line of inquiry and possibly initiate a new line of inquiry, and
the question can help draw out interrelationships among phenomena. Disciplines can rarely
explain all aspects of a complex problem.” (Repko, 2012) My key disciplines throughout my
research have the ability to break down the problem with their own question such as in human
trafficking, what areas of training are necessary to work in ceasing human trafficking?
Communication studies have the ability to ask what forms of communication studies within
agencies throughout the world are informing the public and others on human trafficking.
Finally, organizational management can use its own research question of what planning,
organizing, and leading are required to achieve its overall objective. What are the key concepts
that all three of my disciplines can come together as one to help resolve human trafficking
against all of mankind throughout today`s world.
3. Step 2: Justify using an Interdisciplinary Approach 2
An interdisciplinary study gives one the ability to solve and find a suitable solution to a
problem using multiple forms of disciplines or areas of studies. Although many critics of
interdisciplinary studies frequently charge that there is no widely accepted definition of
interdisciplinary studies. The main objective within the interdisciplinary research process is
pragmatic: to produce a cognitive advancement in the forms of new understanding, a new
product, or a new meaning. (Repko, 2012)
Secondly, an interdisciplinary research process is a decision making process that is a
process, heuristic, iterative, and reflexive. Finally, no single discipline has been able to explain
or resolve the main problem we are working toward ending or finding a suitable reasoning to
human trafficking throughout the world.
A secondary definition toward our problem can be applied with, “Interdisciplinary
studies is a process of answering a question, solving a problem, or addressing a topic that is too
broad or complex to be dealt with adequately by a single discipline, and draws on the discipline
with goal of integrating their insights to construct a more comprehensive understanding.”
(Repko, 2012) An interesting part is that interdisciplinary us used to describe a research process
as Repko points out in his book as, “The interdisciplinary research process is the how part of the
definition of interdisciplinary refers to the process used to study a complex
problem/issue/question, not the problem/issue/question itself.” (Repko, 2012) It must be
broken down it multiple parts using my disciplines to come to a strong comprehensive
understanding.
4. Step 3: Identify Relevant/literature 3
To come to a strong comprehensive understanding of our problem when dealing with
human trafficking and finding a key concepts on improving and fighting this terrible crime is
using areas of human resources, communication studies, and organizational management
techniques. We live in a world that deals with millions of people throughout the world and at
times we need some people to lead, manage, and contribute necessary items to come to a
conclusion to our problem. Using an interdisciplinary research process involves two steps, one
being the initial step/beginning step in the process and secondly, the full scale search which
deals with identifying all relevant expert insights and theories on our problem which leads to
achieving mastery of the problem in all of its complexity.
The first resource located that can seriously help human trafficking throughout the
world is, U.S. flight attendants seek mandatory training to spot human trafficking. The
Association of flights attendants (AFA) has over 50,000 members and 18 airlines in the skies
over the United States daily. Training would provide eyes over the skies to locate human
trafficking as the United States government states that an estimated 14,500-17,5000 people are
placed into trafficking every year. If the airlines had the training, possible trafficking could stop
and they could report it to local law enforcement agencies and save lives. This article follows
under the quantitative as it strong evidence that that can be expressed numerically over a
specific time frame and it ties in with human resources through training. (Dawson, 2015)
5. Step 3: Identifying Relevant/Literature 4
In Andrew Tulley’s article; Laura Lederer a state department expert official stated,
"Human trafficking is the third-largest global criminal enterprise, exceeded only by drug and
arms trafficking, as many of you have heard over and over again," she said. "We have some
very basic statistics on human trafficking. We've looked at this mainly as a law enforcement
issue and as a human rights issue. But it is also an industry. By some estimates, the industry is
growing, and the [worldwide] illegitimate gain from the industry is as high as $32 billion per
year.” (Tulley, 2015)
The second resource which has important implications on human trafficking is that the
U.S. Senate recently passed a Human Trafficking bill with 99-to-0 vote. The article strongly
points out, The Senate trafficking bill, which was intended to increase penalties for perpetrators
and support for victims, particular the preadolescent girls who are targeted, would also
strengthen the ability of law enforcement to investigate trafficking. Huetteman, (2015) this
second source follows under the quantitative field and it follows under the Human Resources
through legal principles. Experts agree that stiff punishment is the best opinion for human
traffickers committing these crimes against humans in the U.S. and the rest of the world. Where
do victims turn to when they need assistance from human trafficking?
One place they turn to is the next source is an organization called, Polaris; runs the U.S. Human
Trafficking Resource Center hotline and since 2007, the call center has received over 85,000
calls for help. This year alone, callers have reported 1,345 cases of human trafficking in the
United States.
6. Step 3: Identifying Relevant/Literature 5
Polaris CEO Bradley Myers stated, Lots of people are comfortable calling a non-profit because
we`re not the government, we`re not law enforcement when they call us, their voice isn`t being
recorded as a part of a federal case. (Lake, M. 2015) The non-profit organization has helped
with over 20,000 cases of trafficking over seven years, many involving minors. This source has a
great deal of information on trafficking and it would fall under the qualitative field as it applies
to the organizational management discipline. Regardless of the situation/expert if one needs
assistance, one should seek it as this source clearly points out outstanding statistics to our
problem we are faced with in our world. The next source located and falls under the qualitative
is the United States Department of Justice which handles all forms of credible resources of the
law; which falls under the human resources/organizational management.
Prime example from the source stated, Charles Marquez of El Paso, Texas was recently
sentenced to life in prison for Human Trafficking crimes. FBI`s Douglas Lindquist of the El Paso
office, Homeland security will continue to work effectively with other federal partners as well
as our international counterparts to identify and dismantle human trafficking rings. (DOJ, 2014)
As noted earlier, The U.S. Senate is cracking down on this crime and this source points out the
legal systemis also being very serious about this crime within the borders of the United States.
The watchmen of the Arizona border patrol have three main goals according to Ollie Gillman,
stop illegal immigration, stop drug smuggling, and probably most importantly stop human
trafficking. (Gillman 2015) Clearly, the U.S. government is doing its part to keep America safe
once again and keep these illegal traffickers outside of America.
7. Step 3: Identifying Relevant/Literature 6
AuthorAbbySher’sbookentitled, BreakingFree:True storiesof girlswhoescapedmodern
slavery, stated in her book, The United Nations reports that almost two million people are
trafficked each year into sex trade. On any given night in New York, more than four thousand
underage youth are trafficked for sex. Another strong point in same book, the average age of
people entering the U.S. commercial sex industry is between 12 to 14 years old. Another
interesting point from the same book stated men in Cambodia will pay hundreds or thousands
of dollars to rape a virgin for a week because of virgin’s magical powers. The brothels today will
often sell girls who are five or six years old. After the week is over, the girls are sewn up on the
inside so they will look like virgins. Then they are sold again. Most girls in the sex industry are
forced in by family, kidnappers, and rapists. It`s hard to measure because trafficking is so
secretive but U.N.I.C.E.F., an organization that defends the rights of children estimates 1.2
million are trafficked every year. (Sher, A. 2014)
Another great book on human trafficking throughout our world is entitled A crime so
monstrous written by Benjamin Skinner, one was able to gather that, former United States
Congressman of Virginia is quoted in the book, “You do not generally get involved in this issue
unless you`re driven by faith or you see slavery-trafficking, and feel it and taste it. It`s hard to
just fabricate the commitment and the interest and the desire.” After reading Benjamin Skinner
book I was able to learn that Haiti was one of the leaders in the world in child slavery
throughout our world. His book applied to my communication discipline with the following
forms of information located.
8. Step 3: Identifying Relevant/Literature 6
The U.S. agency for international development (USAID) funded awareness campaigns to
discourage child slavery, but the bulk of the money went toward billboards for a population
that could not read, and television and radio jingles for a population without electricity.
(Skinner, B 2008) So not only is the United States fighting this crime within its own back yard
but it is also going the extra yard to attempting to fight this crime within the world itself. In
reality, that is probably the best idea since more than likely some of those criminal
masterminds within trafficking world understands that to make the real money throughout the
world, its best interest is to come to America, but sadly for the traffickers who are committing
this crime America is setting up its efforts and fighting this crime.
The next book is entitled, Modern American slave labor and the dark side of the new
global economy and written by John Bowe. This reference will focus on the organization
management of my paper and is falls under the quantitative as quality of information located.
The main form of information that this book pointed out was, today an estimated 27 million
people are enslaved around the world. Brazilians and Persians are lured to the Amazon
rainforest and forced to burn wood into charcoal and mine for gold. Political prisoners are held
in North Korea and China and forced to atone for their crime with unpaid labor.” (Bowe, J.
2008) Sadly, this is just yet another strong source telling us that human trafficking is not just
sex-based as some human trafficking that occurs throughout our world is truly slave based. One
cannot understand where slavery still happens in such places such as China, which is where a
great deal of items come from that arrive on the shelves in the United States.
9. Step 3: Identifying Relevant/Literature 7
I believe it is extremely important to add multiple sources of information when we are
discussing human trafficking but I also believe it is just as important to share a small story from
one of the survivors from human trafficking. The following is a letter located on Polaris
webpage which helps and supports girls and others that have been harmed by the human
trafficking around the world as a girl named Iris whom is a client at the Polaris New Jersey
office. After President Obama spoke about human trafficking at the Clinton Global Initiative a
number of clients wrote him and shared with permission.
“Dear President Obama I am 20 years old and have been a slave for 2 years but I thank
God for helping me to escape from where I was. I was brought in USA to go to school but when
I came here it became a nightmare & I starting working without pay, bitten, abused physically
and mentally but the day I was expecting to be dead that’s when God made me a way to escape
where I was bleeding, crying, not knowing what happening and Polaris found me and keep me
safe. I believe I am the eye of my family because everybody there their hope is in me but they
don’t know what’s going on with me. I thank you for thinking about people like me and those
who are worse than me. May God keep you and show you many ways to help us!!!!Thanks so
much & I am proud to be in America.” (Polaris, 2015)
Researchers must avoid allowing the existing literature and the view of others, even if
they are experts, to disproportionately influence their understanding of the problem. Relying
on what others said at the very outset of the research enterprise risk short-circuiting objective
and creative thinking that is essential to good disciplinary work. (Repko, 2012)
10. Step 5: Develop Adequacy in each relevant Discipline 8
Human Resources view the world its primary theory that will be applied is the strategic
training and development process. This theory is based on mission, values, and goals of our
organization to fight human trafficking. It will also benefit overall capture and shared
knowledge throughout the employees. Its primary objective will be to increase development
planning, performance improvement, training, and increase employee satisfaction. The second
method of our theory that will be applied is the human resources laws and regulations. The
department of labor (DOL) administers and enforces more than 180 federal laws. I feel that
having strategic training and development, laws and regulation, and recruitment/focus on
results truly help me lead to find quality and credible forms of theory information. One cannot
just walk in the door and say, I’m ready to fight trafficking.
"The interdisciplinary position on disciplinary methods is that there are many methods, each
with different strengths and weaknesses, and that no one method or overall approach should
be privileged over any other in interdisciplinary work." (Repko, 2012)
Communication theories view the world with a standpoint theory. Standpoint theory
focuses on how membership in groups, such as those designated by gender, race, and class,
and sexual identity, shapes what individuals experience, know, feel, and do, as well as how
individuals understand social life as a whole. But standpoint theory is achieved through critical
reflection on power relations and through engaging in the struggle required to construct an
oppositional stance. Finally, Standpoint theory claims that marginalized groups can generate
unique insights into how a society works.
11. Step 5: Develop Adequacy in each relevant Discipline 9
Another communication theory one can use when it comes to human trafficking is the
performance communication theory which is said that it argues that humans generate
identities, including gender, through performance or expression. When we think of
communication we suddenly must understand that not all traffickers and/or victims will speak
the same language, so that in alone with demonstrate a theory that there needs to be other
forms of communication such as it body language and facial expressions.
Organizational Management have very common interest with human resources in
today`s work places however, Organizational Management see the world in a multiple of
different theories but based on our wicked problem we are studying the Theory X and Theory Y
are fantastic approaches; especially when it is dealing with training its staff regularly within
management and the human resources disciplines toward human trafficking. The management
theory an individual chooses to utilize is strongly influenced by beliefs about worker attitudes.
Managers who believe workers naturally lack ambition and need incentives to increase
productivity lean toward the Theory X management style. Theory Y believes that workers are
naturally driven and take responsibility. While managers who believe in Theory X values often
use an authoritarian style of leadership, Theory Y leaders encourage participation from
workers.
12. Analyze the problem & Evaluate each insight or theory 10
The human resources typically see training and development as the key to being
prepared to handle any and all forms of human trafficking and expressing shared knowledge
through the group of employees toward the project at hand. One needs to ensure that their
team is prepared for all forms within the organization to handle such a difficult task. It also
must provide the necessary legal training that is essential; one could easily use the 5`W
questions to evaluate the appropriateness of each theory to the problem. The communication
theory that was discussed is aware that human trafficking is not just an American war but more
of a world war on crime, as this crime continues to happen throughout the world on a regular
basis. When a certain individual is grown up in a certain environment, one perceives that to be
a normal circumstance. In reality with human trafficking that is clearly not the case and the U.S.
government and other top agencies around the world are attempting to change that
perspective. The stand point theory believes that societies around the world are going to be
different and there will be a lack of communication among different societies around the world.
Bias may enter into an interdisciplinary study merely by the choice, or focus on, a
particular discipline. To develop a more comprehensive understanding of a problem
information should not exclude, or be dominated by, any one perspective. (Repko, 2012)
Organizational Management theories X and Y are completely different theories
however, they both play essential roles in employees taking charge of learning the necessary
requirements when it comes to human trafficking in our world today. Theory X believes
employees dislike it, while theory Y believes people are self-motivated to win this battle.
13. Step 7: Identify conflicts betweeninsights and sources 11
The conflicts that occur while addressing the problems is embedded terminology or
concepts and underlying assumptions; One problem is that one of my disciplines believes it fits
one way while another one of my disciplines might believe it fits another, simply some
disciplines have a different feel for the problem at hand or use different meanings however
they share the same assumption. Another way is attempting to change different meanings from
different disciplines; they simply have different ideas on how to resolve human trafficking.
Finally, there could be a lack of problem and/or authors using concepts pertain to the problem.
My disciplines could use forms of assumptions toward our problem. The conflict here is that
each discipline uses forms of what constitutes as truth, what counts as evidence or proof, how
problems should be formulated and what is the general idea. According to Newell, assumptions
can be of three kind, “ontological, epistemological, and value-laden.” (Newell, 2007)
Clearly all information must be understandable and truthful as Repko points out in
text, “sufficient information of each discipline`s cognitive map and is thus able to identify its
perspective, epistemology, assumptions, concepts, theories, and methods in order to
understand its insights into a particular problem.” (Repko, 2012) The problem that I have had
in the past while working with human resources and organization management has been when
conflicting insights into the same problem produced by authors from different disciplines. The
challenge then is to determine if the authors are clearly talking about the same issue and to
map each author`s argument. At this time, I have had some forms difficulties with vocabulary
problems at certain times during my research progress.
14. Step 8 Create commonground 12
I would believe there would be forms of conflicts when one is dealing with multiple
forms of disciplines as each discipline has its own fair share of perspectives toward our human
trafficking problem. Repko (2012) points out two great points toward common ground,
Common ground is required in at least two circumstances. The first is when people or
disciplines use different concepts or terms to describe the same thing. The second is when
people take opposing positions on a particular issue stemming from conflicting assumptions or
values.
The problem that I have had in the past while working with human resources and
organization management has been when conflicting insights into the same problem produced
by authors from different disciplines. The challenge then is to determine if the authors are
clearly talking about the same issue and to map each author`s argument. Human resources and
organizational management are nearly the same subject matter and at times they have some
very strong insights on the issue at hand. At first I could use the redefinition however; conflicts
and assumptions do not conflict at all. So I turned to extension which states an interdisciplinary
to increase the scope of what we are talking about. It involves addressing the differences and
oppositions in disciplinary concepts. One can use redefinition, extension, transformation, and
organization to create common ground. Finally, Repko points out one last great point, one only
needs to find common ground between authors who disagreeing about the same “something”,
not between those who are talking about two different things. (Repko, 2012)
15. Step 9 : Construct aMore Comprehensive Understanding 13
When the world has a problem on most cases they would normally handle that single
issue with one discipline and/or a single way on handling an issue/problem. Interdisciplinans on
the other hand look at the same issue/problem from multiple perspectives or disciplines but
use their insights to their benefit which have been researched from a scholar contribution. The
rest of the world should understand that I on a personal level have learned multiple of theories,
concepts, and certain ideas on how to come to a common ground between different disciplines.
Simply, one applying multiple of disciplines to come together as one and help solve any forms
of problems that might arise so instead of studying just business management, one can state
they are studying human resources, communications, and organization management. (A+B+C =
comprehensive explanation)
“No one theory explains the whole sequence.” (Repko, 2012) Each one of the disciplines
has an insight toward my research. However, if they leave one or both out then they are
missing key concepts from the research that we are conducting. Simply, one must have
contributions from their disciplines but one discipline cannot dominate the entire research.
“The best theory is the one that jointly maximizes its fit with the overall pattern on the one
hand, and with the disciplinary theories on the other.” (Repko, 2012)
Although it is possible that forms disciplines could have forms of conflict within
theories the most important aspect is that there is a common ground that is created.
16. STEP 10: Communicating the Results 14
The overall strength was able to locate quality forms of information from the previous
research in prior weeks of study or simply using the reflection in an interdisciplinary sense,
thinking and agreeing with my previous choices I have made however, One continues to also
continue to tweak the credible sources and apply new knowledge that one has gained over the
weeks which really leads to being a life-long learner. Yes, I nailed it really well when applying
common ground in my studies, although all of my disciplines were not talking about the same
thing; they were limited areas of conflicts within my disciplines as each discipline were
attacking and attempting to come to a conclusion on how to stop human trafficking.
As an interdisciplinary student over this past semester, one has gain the necessary
knowledge that not one single discipline can truly have all of the necessary forms of
information to a wicked problem that might arise. One should not limit themselves when they
are searching for quality references and other forms of scholar information toward a problem
regardless of the subject matter. Human Resources deals with training of the employees in our
organizations, however; they might not have the expertise that an individual might have who
has studied forms of communication studies. While one who has studied organizational
management might have a little extra then the two others combined. Although it is great to
have the ability to study a particular field of study, it might be in the best interest to locate who
someone who has multiple fields of study which they can apply more perspectives to our
problem that we or the world faces such as human trafficking.
