Human trafficking

Human trafficking is the trade of humans, most commonly for the purpose of sexual
slavery, forced labor, or commercial sexual exploitation for the trafficker or others.
This may encompass providing a spouse in the context of forced marriage, or the
extraction of organs or tissues, including for surrogacy and ova removal. Human
trafficking can occur within a country or trans-nationally. Human trafficking is a
crime against the person because of the violation of the victim's rights of movement
through coercion and because of their commercial exploitation. Human trafficking is
the trade in people, and does not necessarily involve the movement of the person
from one place to another.

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), forced labor alone (one
component of human trafficking) generates an estimated $150 billion in profits per
annum as of 2014.[9] In 2012, the ILO estimated that 21 million victims are trapped
in modern-day slavery. Of these, 14.2 million (68%) were exploited for labor, 4.5
million (22%) were sexually exploited, and 2.2 million (10%) were exploited in state-
imposed forced labor.[

Types of Human Trafficking

Trafficking of children- Trafficking of children involves the recruitment,

transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of children for the purpose of
exploitation. The commercial sexual exploitation of children can take many forms,
including forcing a child into prostitution or other forms of sexual activity or child
pornography. Child exploitation may also involve forced labour or services, slavery
or practices similar to slavery, servitude, the removal of organs, illicit international
adoption, trafficking for early marriage, recruitment as child soldiers, for use in
begging or as athletes (such as child camel jockeys or football players.

Sex trafficking- Warning of Prostitution and Human trafficking in South Korea for G.I.
by United States Forces Korea.
Sex trafficking affects 4.5 million people worldwide. Most victims find themselves in
coercive or abusive situations from which escape is both difficult and dangerous.

Forced marriage- A forced marriage is a marriage where one or both participants are
married without their freely given consent. Servile marriage is defined as a marriage
involving a person being sold, transferred or inherited into that marriage. According
to ECPAT, "Child trafficking for forced marriage is simply another manifestation of
trafficking and is not restricted to particular nationalities or countries"

Labor trafficking- Labor trafficking is the movement of persons for the purpose of
forced labor and services. It may involve bonded labor, involuntary servitude,
domestic servitude, and child labor. Labor trafficking happens most often within the
domain of domestic work, agriculture, construction, manufacturing and
entertainment; and migrant workers and indigenous people are especially at risk of
becoming victims.

Trafficking for organ trade

Trafficking in organs is a form of human trafficking. It can take different forms. In
some cases, the victim is compelled into giving up an organ. In other cases, the
victim agrees to sell an organ in exchange of money/goods, but is not paid (or paid
less).
 Scandal
A scandal can be broadly defined as an accusation or accusations that receive wide
exposure. Generally there is a negative effect on the credibility of the person or
organisation involved. Society is scandalised when it is made aware of blatant
breaches of moral norms or legal requirements. In contemporary times, exposure is
often made by mass media. Such breaches have typically erupted from greed, lust
or the abuse of power. Scandals may be regarded as political, sexual, moral, literary
or artistic but often spread from one realm into another. The basis of a scandal may
be factual or false, or a combination of both.
Contemporary media has the capacity to spread knowledge of a scandal further
than in previous centuries and public interest has encouraged many cases of
confected scandals relating to well-known people as well as genuine scandals
relating to politics and business. Some scandals are revealed by whistleblowers who
discover wrongdoing within organizations or groups, such as Deep Throat (William
Mark Felt) during the Watergate scandal in the 1970s in the United States.
Whistleblowers may be protected by laws which are used to obtain information of
misdeeds and acts detrimental to their establishments. However, the possibility of
scandal has always created a tension between society's efforts to reveal
wrongdoing and its desire to cover them up.

Types of Scandal
Biblical- Scandals occur in the bible where it generally refers to sins committed
against moral, religious or cultural expectations. For example, the rape of
Bathsheba by King David created a scandal that was followed by political as well as
personal consequences.

Academic and literary- Academic dishonesty, also referred to as academic

misconduct, is any type of cheating that occurs in relation to a formal academic
exercise.

Although in the early part of the 19th century held the view that scandal does not
mix with literature and science, some opined that a scattering of some amount of
scandal in literature could enhance interest of people as scandal suits "the taste of
almost every palate." Scandal, has however, been the subject of many books.
Among the most famous of fictional stories about scandal School for Scandal (1777)
by Richard Brinsley Sheridan and The Scarlet Letter (1850) by Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Literary scandals result from some kind of fraud; either the authors are not who
they say they are, or the facts have been misrepresented or they contain some
defamation of another person. For example, two books by Holocaust survivors,
Angel at the Fence by Herman Rosenblat and A Memoir of the Holocaust Years Misha
Defonseca, were found to be based on false information, while a prize won by
novelist Helen Darville created a scandal in 1994 around the author's fraudulently
claimed ancestry.

Political- In the spring of 1904, many parts of the northeastern United States
experienced severe flooding. Bob Satterfield portrayed politicians, bureaucrats, etc.,
trapped in the floods, which are not of water, but of various scandal (9 April 1904).
Business- In 2012, Michael Woodford who successfully steered Olympus, a Japanese
company to fame, turned a whistleblower when even as a CEO of the firm, exposed
the financial scandal worth $1.7 billion fled Japan fearing for his life. Though
persecuted his revelations proved to be true resulting in booking the culprits.
Portraying a damaging status of corporate Japan, Woodford, in his memoirs has
said: "I thought I was going to run a health-care and consumer electronics company,
but found I had walked into a John Grisham novel.
Media- Since the development of printing, the media has had greater power to
expose scandals and since the advent of mass media, this power has increased. The
media also has the capacity to support and/or oppose organizations and destabilize
them thereby becoming involved in scandals themselves as well as reporting them.
Following the Watergate scandal in the United States, other English-speaking
countries have borrowed the suffix "gate" and added it to scandals of their own.

Journalism- Journalistic scandals relate to high-profile incidents or acts, whether

done purposefully or by accident. It could be in violation of normally in vogue ethics
and standards of journalism. It could also be in violation of the 'ideal' mission of
journalism: to publish "news events and issues accurately and fairly."

Television- The American quiz show of the 1950s generated "hypnotic intensity"
among viewers and contestants. The CBS Television show The $64,000 Question
which started on 7 June 1955 and such other shows as The Big Surprise, Dotto, Tic
Tac Dough, and Twenty One became the most publicized quiz shows, but soon
generated scandals after a series of revelations that contestants of several popular
television quiz shows conspired with the show's producers to rig the outcome. The
quiz show scandals were driven by a drive for financial gain, a willingness of
contestants to "play along" with the assistance, and the lack of regulation
prohibiting the rigging of game shows. In October 1958, a New York grand jury was
instituted by prosecutor Joseph Stone and the matter was examined with recording
of closed-door testimony. Following this, the US Congress ruled rigging a quiz show
a federal crime.
The TV soap opera titled "Scandal" a popular show on the American Television ABC
channel has been dubbed a "self-absorbed, overblown, overacted, pretentious,
soliloquy-laden car-wreck-of-a-series."

Sex scandals- A sex scandal is a scandal involving allegations or information about

possibly-immoral sexual activities being made public. Sex scandals are often
associated with sexual affairs of film stars, politicians, famous athletes and others in
the public eye, and become scandals largely because of the prominence of the
person involved, perceptions of hypocrisy on their part, or the non-normative or
non-consensual nature of their sexual activity. A sex scandal may be based on
reality, the product of false allegations, or a mixture of both.

Sports- A desire for success and financial gain or the abuse of power in sport have
also created many scandals both at an individual and the organisational level.
Scandals arising from corruption have an impact of the credibility of sport. The
World Anti-Doping Agency, as part of its role to "promote, coordinate and monitor
the fight against drugs in sports", has showed that bribery, doping by athletes and
doping sample-tampering, have occurred in collusion with national and international
sporting organizations. Some consider that doping is "now endemic" in the world of
sport and is becoming extremely pervasive, including more and more sports.

One of the biggest individual scandals flowed from revelations that former American
cycling champion Lance Armstrong had achieved success by consistent, long-term
cheating. One of the biggest institutional sporting scandals is the 2015 FIFA
corruption case. Doping scandals have plagued the Olympic games as well, such as
in the Doping in East Germany scandal and the Asian Games in 1994. Scandals in
match games such as Major League baseball and cricket may relate to spot-fixing or
gambling.
Many Catholics who have gone to Mass all their lives still do not understand it. Part
of the problem is that by the time people are old enough to appreciate and
understand the sacred words and actions, it has become mere repetition. Hence,
because of this repetition, we have all heard, and probably used the infamous
phrase "Mass is boring!" and people stop going because "they do not get anything
out of it." People complain about seeing the same priest at the same altar saying
the same old prayers.

When we celebrate Mass there is something supernatural or miraculous and literally

extraordinary happening and yet our reaction is boredom. So the assumption is that
there must be something wrong with the product! Lots of people would like to
change the Mass, make it more interesting and exciting, they would like to make it
more modem and relevant. However, I would have to say that I could not disagree
more. Any attempt to make the Mass more "relevant" and "interesting" and
"modem" is a plan which has a fundamental flaw. The flaw lies in the fact that this
attitude misses the whole point; and the point, our starting point, is this: We do not
need to change the Mass; we need to be changed by the Mass.

Most years, on Marys birthday, Im recuperating from a Labor Day weekend

involving a backhoe and at least one cookout and probably canning of one sort or
another. Labor Day seems like the perfect backdrop for a reflection of the Blessed
Mother, though. Its a chance to stop and honor the work and toil we do in our
everyday lives, women and men.

We can look to Marys example in the house at Nazareth and see a loving model for
a fresh approach to what was dull and routine before. We can think of the miracle of
her birth not to mention the birth of her Son and open our eyes to the miracles
that are around us in the bustle of traffic, the piles of laundry, and the demands of
children.
