The True Cost of “Cheap” Seafood: An Analysis of Environmental and Human Exploitation in the Seafood Industry By Tiffany T.V. Duong* Introduction When we sit down to a fancy seafood1 dinner and order sizzling Thai shrimp or grilled Hawaiian swordfish, we don’t realize our meal comes with a side of slavery: it’s quite likely that foreign fishermen working in slave-like conditions caught the cheap seafood on our plates.2 Environmental destruction and forced labor are negative externalities in many fisheries worldwide, with abuses largely ignored in the pursuit of catching more fish from an emptier sea. This comment explores how global overfishing and resource exploitation have created a situation ripe for environmental and human rights abuses.

  • The Rohingya Refugee Crisis
    THE ROHINGYA REFUGEE CRISIS Rey Ty • Contexts, problems, and solutions1 • ABSTRACT This article focuses on a case study of the extremist actions of militant Buddhists who violate the rights of entire civilian populations of other religions in Myanmar. The goal is to question the popular stereotype of all Buddhists as promoters of unconditional peace and to examine the Rohingya refugee crisis. The text begins with an overview of the historical and current contexts that gave rise to the Rohingya crisis, after which a discussion of the causes and effects of the problem is presented. It concludes by presenting the proposed agenda to solve the refugee crisis besetting the Rohingya. KEYWORDS Arakan State | Refugees | Rohingya | Statelessness • SUR 29 - v.16 n.29 • 49 - 62 | 2019 49 THE ROHINGYA REFUGEE CRISIS 1 • Introduction There are many problems related to statelessness and refugees in Asia, such as the current tensions in Assam, India, along the Myanmar-Thailand border, and the ones affecting the Rohingya in Myanmar, to name a few. Muslim-majority Rohingyas have been living in the Rakhine State for as long as they, their parents, their grandparents, and their great grandparents can remember. Their land is between Bangladesh, to the west, and the rest of Myanmar, to the east. Myanmar, as the country is known today, is home to a multiplicity of ethnicities, religions, and languages. Many westerners come to Asia to learn about Buddhism and Hinduism, joining Buddhist Vipassana meditation retreats and practicing Hindu yoga. With their romanticised and Orientalised views of Asia,2 many westerners convert to Buddhism and Hinduism.
