Human Trafficking in South Africa: Exploring the Effectiveness of Legislation and the Impact of Gender Roles The US Department of State has ranked South Africa as a Tier 2 state about human trafficking. This shades light to the menace of trafficking that has hit the country. The cases of human trafficking continue to increase steadily in post-apartheid South Africa. Most of these victims are from within the country, while others are from all over sub-Saharan Africa, Thai, and china. Women, men, and children are trafficked to, from, and through South Africa, with statistics showing that only about 50000 to 100000 cases are documented each year. Analysts dispute these numbers saying that millions of cases go unnoticed or ignored by the government. Female victims are traded to serve as sexual slaves, commercial sex workers, or domestic servants. At the same time, their male counterparts work in mining, factories, are recruited as militia or soldiers, among other tough jobs. The common thing among the victims across both genders is that the working conditions are usually very dire. This warrants the research to…
Exploring Society, Exploring Ourselves Applying sociological theory to sports The most dominant racial group in Major Baseball League, MLB, is the whites’ race. The most significant percentage of catchers, pitchers, infielders, and outfielders in the league are whites. Overall, whites form more than half of the players in MLB, and the rest racial groups, that is, the Asians, African Americans, and Latinos share the remainder. The Asian race is the least represented in the league. Asians are the least significant race with an almost unidentifiable presence. African American racial group comes second with a slightly bigger representation than that of Asians. In terms of playing positions, the African American race has a higher representation in the outfield position than in any other. Though still behind the white and the Latino racial representation in the post, the presence of African American race is better represented here than in the catcher, infield or pitcher playing positions.. The figure supports the claim that racial inequality is prevalent in MLB. From the figure, the most significant percentage of players in all playing positions are…
FAITH HOPE AND CHARITY This is the most important play of the year; the story in the play is based on hazel and her attempt to come up with a solution that our public services should be solely running a free hot meals scheme at her local neglected community centers. Hazel struggles to continue to have access to the building which visitors desperately needed. They are not only after the hot meal but also the human connection and the function of the community that is just necessary. After a decade of formality, here are the consequences, Alexander zedlin’s play is one of the infamous triangle followed by love and beyond caring. It’s a very particular feeling knowing that within a group that once you are done with all avenues what’sleft is your attitude, your outlook and your blind hope. There comes unsaid understanding that there’s no other choice than to keep going and try not to remain too long on how truly screwed you are. Moments of joy are cut by the fact that something will go wrong even…
Femininity Femininity Femininity is used to refer to characteristics, roles and behaviour that are identified with women and girls. Feminism has two-faced; it is both influenced by society and biologically. Some people think femininity in a biological sense is about the female biological, but this is far from it since even the males can exhibit inherent feminist traits. Some of the characteristics that are associated with femininity include empathy, gentleness and being sensitive among others according to influencers like cultural and social aspects. According to these factors, femininity has been defined in various ways. For example, through behaviour, characteristics, roles, and dressing, among others. This paper will expound more about femininity and opinions about the same from various studies. One of the everyday things people use to define femininity in almost every society is allocation of roles on gender basis. Since the earlier days, the females have been identified with defined roles that the society thought are not meant for the males. For example, women have been identified with tasks such as child-rearing, household chores like cooking, and other jobs…

Froeb’s method analysis AMD lawsuit case against Intel Intel’s move to make large loyalty payments to HP was to secure its customer base and ensure that HP would become their loyal customer. The act was to resolve any incentive conflict that could arise, and by so doing, intel secured a market for their chips as HP shifted from its former supplier, AMD. The loyalty payments made attracted huge profits for Intel,an incentive that had a conflict of interest and act violated the antitrust laws. Intel offered loyalty payments discriminating against other companies. It did not consider informing other customers about the loyalty rewards available at that time.

AMD lost HP as their long-time customer, but it later realized the concessions by Intel were not offered in good faith but were profits driven. It discovered that Intel violated antitrust…
How Hinduism and Buddhism differ from Jainism. In the lives of many people across the world, religion is essential. Spirituality in the Eastern part of the world started as a result of others—for instance, Jainism begun as a reform movement of Hinduism and later became a religion. Buddhism started as a result of opposition to Hinduism. The three faiths built their foundation by opposing each other, and thus there are some unique differences between the three. The discrepancies between the three religions range their principles of gods, goals, souls, and rituals in death. Hindus believe in the existence of god and goddess. Hindus recognize god and goddesses as the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the world. Jainism does not believe in god and goddesses. According to Jains, the world is an eternal phenomenon. Jains believe that the universe was never created and thus, it cannot be destroyed. The Hindus and Buddhists accept the philosophy of Karma. Jains do not accept Karma; instead, they describe it as substances that poison the soul. According to Jainism, for a soul to attain moksha,…
IDENTITY IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM Identity describes who or what we are. It bases on psychological, biological, or physical elements of life. Cultural identity represents our everyday behaviours related to how we speak, dress, move, or act based on our cultural environments. The need to have an identity is common to every human being. It is, therefore, essential to evaluate how popular cultures shape one’s identity based on who they are, in particular. We answer the questions of how different elements of culture, such as race, gender, sexuality, social class, influence our identity. We also evaluate how behaviors such as dress codes, modes of expression, or some actions tell of who we are. In the past, cultural identification was based on defined gender roles. Cultural behaviors were categorized for the two genders, males and females. Aaron Devor, in his article “performing gender,” describes that being male or female dictated what expectations, based on their cultural standard. He goes on to explain that males were perceived to be masculine, aggressive, and egoistic, while females were seen to be passive, submissive,…
: COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA Introduction The banking sector has been in existence for quite an extended period. Even though it began in the 14th century in Italy, the notion had already been practised during the past periods of the Babylonian civilization, whereby farmers used to borrow grains from the wealthy merchants so that they could trade goods in other towns. Nonetheless, banking, as we all know currently, actually started in 1472. during this time is when the Monte dei Paschi di Siena, which is the oldest bank presently, was established. In the not long ago, decades, technology was merely accessible in the banking sector. It signifies that banking clients had no control over electronic dealings or transactions that generally took place amid the banking institutions themselves. The ATM machines, as well as the credit and debit cards, are some of the remarkable inventions in the current decades that revolutionized the banking sector (Brunnermeier, 2019). However, their impacts are less remarkable as compared to the current technology experienced today. Loans A bank can assist in optimizing growth, minimizing risk, and assist…
How are the Flaws and crookedness of capitalist society explored in the play? To what ends? The Threepenny Opera remains one of the outstanding works by Brecht. The “play with music” was first performed in 1928. The work finds its origin in the old works of John Gay “The Beggars Opera.” The intriguing masterclass piece relays some of the pertinent issues that impact society. Brecht also uses the piece to express his expertise in drama, whereby he enriches the abilities of the characters using the same aspect. The play highlights the issue of capitalism and how it impacts people. Brecht goes to extreme lengths to display how capitalism has affected the way of life of both the rich and the poor. He also focuses on how the moral concepts of society are impacted by capitalism. The idea of capitalism, in this case, is viewed from the perspective of the rich having the power to control the economic way of life as well as the legal limits of the people. The paper then focuses on how Brecht explores the flaws and…
