victims into the system. America is a common goal in many poverty stricken countries, a lot of
the citizens in these lower income places would do a lot to get there.
Because of these vulnerabilities, poor countries are usually targeted and promised better lives in
America, this makes the victims much less reluctant to decline. Luz Nagle, a researcher at the
Stanford University explains how globalization negatively effects human trafficking, The
current modernization and globalization has created a world in which everything is a commodity
with an economic value and a market price to be traded and sold, including our fellow human
beings. Modern society has created a world where everything has a price. The growth in all
markets has become more than just people selling simple products. It has exploded into a world
of people selling other humans as products. Our globalization and increase in product
manufacturing has created a need for cheap labor that can easily be found on slaves. In the
1800s, we were smart enough to realize that slavery is inexcusable, but the need for cheap
products and even cheaper labor has forced the modern society into a globalized world of this
human trafficking.
The tragedy that is human trafficking can only be considered modern day slavery. America has
seen this before, but it is now larger and more discrete than before, making it much harder to
stop. It is also pulling in many other countries which means that there are very few ways that is
can be monitored. This slavery does not discriminate. It does not matter your race, or age, or
gender, people need money, consumers need products, and corporations need profit. This
globalization fueled tornado is spinning increasingly faster, picking up innocent lives along the
way and is a major human rights violation. Globalization has turned our world into a place where
most things have a price and a value to be sold, and people should not be one of those things.
