End-Child-Trafficking-Factsheet.Pdf
End Child Trafficking Factsheet The documentary, Not My Life, is directed, written, and produced by the Academy Award Nominee Robert Bilheimer to comprehensively depict the cruel and dehumanizing practices of human trafficking and modern slavery. The school talk aims to nurture students’ empathy and global view toward children. Filmed on five continents, in a dozen countries, Not My Life features interviews with trafficking victims and their advocates which enable Hong Kong students to contact a world that is difficult to imagine and to empathize with victims who were the domestic servants in Washington, beggars in Africa, ten year-old girls raped in United States, truck stops or brothels in India. THE FISHING BOYS OF LAKE VOLTA It is estimated that 7,000-10,000 fishing boys work on the shores and in the waters of eastern Ghana’s Lake Volta. Born into poverty, many of these boys are given away or sold to relatives or strangers who promise to teach the boys the fishing trade and give them a better life. Removed from their families and homes, the fishing boys find themselves on a vast manmade lake that will become a virtual prison for the remainder of their childhood years. The fishing boys are denied medical care, the opportunity to attend school, and are forced to work long, 14 + hour days year-round. With the help of advocates such as Eric Peasah, Director of Right to be Free and consultant for the International Organization for Migration, some of these boys are set free. Eric negotiates with the boys’ traffickers for their freedom. -
Sustainability from the Perspectives of Indigenous Leaders in the Bioregion Defined by the Pacific Salmon Runs of North America
SUSTAINABILITY FROM THE PERSPECTIVES OF INDIGENOUS LEADERS IN THE BIOREGION DEFINED BY THE PACIFIC SALMON RUNS OF NORTH AMERICA by DAVID EDWARD HALL A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in SYSTEMS SCIENCE: PSYCHOLOGY Portland State University 2008 ABSTRACT An abstract of the dissertation of David Edward Hall for the Doctor of Philosophy in Systems Science: Psychology presented June 10, 2008. Title: Sustainability from the Perspectives of Indigenous Leaders in the Bioregion Defined by the Pacific Salmon Runs of North America Extensive research suggests that the collective behavior of humanity is on an unsustainable path. As the evidence mounts and more people awaken to this reality, increased attention is being dedicated to the pursuit of answers for a just and sustainable future. This dissertation grew from the premise that effectively moving towards sustainability requires change at all levels of the dominant Western culture, including deeply held worldviews. The worldviews of many indigenous cultures offer alternative values and beliefs that can contribute to addressing the root causes of problems related to sustainability. In the bioregion defined by the Pacific Salmon runs of North America there is a rich heritage and modern day presence of diverse indigenous cultures. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 indigenous leaders from within this bioregion to explore their mental models of sustainability. These interviews followed a general structure that covered: (a) the personal background and community affiliation of each interviewee; (b) the meaning of the concept of sustainability from their perspective; (c) visions of a sustainable future for their communities; and, (d) how to achieve such a future. -

In this bicentennial year of the U.S. abolition of the slave trade, one might think the tragedy of African slavery in the Americas has been exhaustively told. Katrina Browne thought the same, until she discovered that her slave-trading ancestors from Rhode Island were not an aberration. Rather, they were just the most prominent actors in the North's vast complicity in slavery, buried in myths of Northern innocence. Browne — a direct descendant of Mark Anthony DeWolf, the first slaver in the family — took the unusual step of writing to 200 descendants, inviting them to journey with her from Rhode Island to Ghana to Cuba and back, recapitulating the Triangle Trade that made the DeWolfs the largest slave-trading family in U.S. history. Nine relatives signed up. Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North is Browne's spellbinding account of the journey that resulted. Thursday, March 5, 6:00-8:00pm “500 Years Later” Beautifully filmed with compelling discussions with the world's leading scholars, 500 Years Later explores the collective atrocities that uprooted Africans from their culture and homeland, and scattered them into the vehement winds of the New World, 500 years ago. -
The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the Plays of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas
The Moral Basis of Family Relationships in the plays of Shakespeare and his Contemporaries: a Study in Renaissance Ideas. A submission for the degree of doctor of philosophy by Stephen David Collins. The Department of History of The University of York. June, 2016. ABSTRACT. Families transact their relationships in a number of ways. Alongside and in tension with the emotional and practical dealings of family life are factors of an essentially moral nature such as loyalty, gratitude, obedience, and altruism. Morality depends on ideas about how one should behave, so that, for example, deciding whether or not to save a brother's life by going to bed with his judge involves an ethical accountancy drawing on ideas of right and wrong. It is such ideas that are the focus of this study. It seeks to recover some of ethical assumptions which were in circulation in early modern England and which inform the plays of the period. A number of plays which dramatise family relationships are analysed from the imagined perspectives of original audiences whose intellectual and moral worlds are explored through specific dramatic situations. Plays are discussed as far as possible in terms of their language and plots, rather than of character, and the study is eclectic in its use of sources, though drawing largely on the extensive didactic and polemical writing on the family surviving from the period. Three aspects of family relationships are discussed: first, the shifting one between parents and children, second, that between siblings, and, third, one version of marriage, that of the remarriage of the bereaved. -
