Human Trafficking

We recently watched a movie called human trafficking in my globalization class. It was produced to promote awareness about human trafficking around the world. I think that this was a good idea to raise awareness because it is more entertaining than a documentary on television and more people will watch it.

Human trafficking is wrong and is sad. For people to be able to steal someone from a family and hold them against their will and use them for making money is horrible. These people must not have any kind of conscience because I wouldn’t be able to do it.

The movie made me realize that when people are trafficked it isn’t always just one person here or there, it can be large scale operations. Like in the movie the head honcho set up a modeling competition and trafficked a whole group of girls at once.  This movie also made me realize that for an operation like this to occur there has to be a demand for it. This made me realize that the world is going to hell in a hand basket. When people can make billions of dollars a year off of selling girls for sex there is something wrong with the whole world.

Human trafficking is wrong. I think people need to step up and fight back because that is what it is going to take to end a large operation like this. Also people who know about this need to step up and educate others about it so that they can do the same and then everyone will know.
