Differences Between 16th and 19th Century Imperialism
The Differences Between 16th and 19th Century Imperialism and their Effects on the World Today. Name: Mr. Big Student #: C10539956 Course: INS 201 Professor: Dr. Ventricle 1. What is ââ¬Ëimperialismââ¬â¢? How did 19th-century colonialism, empire building, high imperialism differ from those of earlier times: in particular from the colonialism of early- modern mercantilism (16th to18th centuries)? ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- Introduction According to John Findling and Frank Thackerayââ¬â¢s ââ¬Å"Events that Changed the World inâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦For example, the original thirteen colonies that Britain established on North Americaââ¬â¢s east coast have gone on to become the worldââ¬â¢s main superpower, the United States of America. Britainââ¬â¢s colony in China, Hong Kong, has gone on to become Asiaââ¬â¢s premiere financial center with Singapore (another British jewel) trailing just behind. Even Britainââ¬â¢s prisoners set up the only first-world country in the Southern Hemisphere, Australia! Compare this to Spainââ¬â¢s imperial efforts, for example Mexico is the only third world country in North America and has always struggled to overcome a legal system plagued with corruption. Why is it that the British colonies were so successful and the colonies of other countries such failures in comparison? I feel the answer to that is British law. British law has been a keystone in thes e colonies success. Their political ideals have helped sculpt the success stories of the modern world, albeit there have been some failures such as India and Rhodesia where there were civilians revolting against their new leaders. The British education system helped produce a new class of educated Africans and Asians that were able seek employment once they had completed their schooling. 16th Century Imperialism Imperialism in the fifteenth century was new and exciting, the rules were unwritten.

Friedrich Froebel and Marie Clay Essay example - 1538 Words
Friedrich Froebel and Marie Clay Friedrich August Wilhelm Froebel was born in Oberweissback, Germany in April 21, 1782 (Ransbury, 1995). He was the sixth child of a Lutheran Minister, but lost his mother before his first birthday. As a young boy, he played and explored in the gardens surrounding his home most of the time. His deep love of nature would later influence his educational philosophy. He did not become educated until age eleven. When he was fifteen years old, he was apprenticed to a Forester. He then studied at the University of Jena. He accepted a teaching position at the Frankfurt Model School in Yverdon, Switzerland. This school was based on the teachings of Johann Heirnrich Pestalozzi. Froebel embraced Pestalozziââ¬â¢sâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦The occupations were tasks that taught skills useful in later life such as weaving, folding paper, stringing beads, perforating paper, modeling with clay, lacing cards, follow the dots, and joint and stick construction (Ja longo and Isenberg, 2000). He also believed children were brought closer to God through song, dance, plays, and games. Froebel called his approach to education ââ¬Å"self-activityâ⬠and ââ¬Å"self-representationâ⬠(ââ¬Å"Friedrich Froebelâ⬠, 2000; Ransbury, 1995). Therefore the teacherââ¬â¢s role is as a guide, not a lecturer (ââ¬Å"Friedrich Froebelâ⬠, 2000). He was also the first to introduce the ââ¬Å"concept of curricula appropriate to a childââ¬â¢s developmental levelâ⬠(Woodill,1995). Froebel designed Kindergarten to childrenââ¬â¢s needs in ââ¬Å"physical activity, the development of sensory awareness and physical dexterity, creative expression, exploration of ideas and concepts, the pleasure of singing, the experience of living among others, and satisfaction of the soulâ⬠(ââ¬Å"Friedrich Froebelâ⬠, 2000). Until his death in 1852, he was devoted to making Kindergarten known. The German immigrants brought the idea of Kindergarten to the United States in the nineteenth century. Margaretta Schurz established the first German Kindergarten in Wisconsin in 1855 and Elizabeth Peabody established the first English Kindergarten and training school in Boston in 1860 (Sadker and Sadker, 2000).

The War on Terror and the aAbuse of Human Rights Essay
September 11, 2001 was the date of one of the worst terrorist attacks ever to this day, this event has drastically change how people live everyday life, and also the course of history. In the morning on September 11th three planes were hijacked, with the intended purpose of killing American civilians. Two of these three planes were flown into the towers of the world trade center, while the third was aimed at the pentagon. Because of this for the last decade the United States, among other countries, has fought a war on terror around the world that has resulted in new laws and policies that have drastically taken away the rights of human beings both in foreign countries and domestically.

Unfortunately for some the people in power get to make the laws that are followed, meaning that the laws often benefit those in charge, but they do so at the expense of hurting innocent people who are not as powerful. America has taken a hybrid war-law approach to the situation in the Middle East; however the hybrid of the two approaches takes away virtually all of the rights and freedom of the innocent people of the Middle East. Although what is happing in the Middle East is said to be a ââ¬Å"policing actionâ⬠they follow wartime laws that are much more lenient for combatants than our regular foreign policy.

Karl Marx (1582 words) Essay Example For Students
Karl Marx (1582 words) Essay Karl Marx1Karl Marx : The Man Behind CommunismWere Karl Marx ideas on communism moral? It is quite obvious that some societies do or did believe that communism was a good way of life. Even though there are many drawbacks to communism there are still some advantages. Karl Marx is a man of intrigue he only did what he wanted to and not what others wanted him to do. Upon completion of my research I feel that Marx was a very bright man. His ideas may not be all together but a man that can introduce communism to the world and actually get people to follow Marx ideas is powerful to me. In my research paper I would like to tell you a little about the life and times of Karl Marx, and how is ideas effect the economy today. Karl Marx was born at 2 am on May 5, 1818. Marx was one of eight children he had two brothers and five sisters. His mother Henriette Prockmon called Karl, Gluckskind meaning child of fortune. She loved Karl and his sibling all the same and felt fortunate to have children. But Karlââ¬â¢s father thought that Marx was ââ¬Å"possessed by a demonâ⬠(Padover 22) it was probably since Karl always never did what his father expected of him. Karlââ¬â¢s siblings even saw him as a tyrant he would use his siblings as a horse and ridicule them all for being slow intellectually since he was gifted at learning compared to them. Marxââ¬â¢s childhood was not all peachy he had two brothers and one sister die of tuberculosis, which ran in the family and kept Marx out of military service (Padover 38). Karl was raised as a Jewish man but in 1824 a Prussian government decree conformed a long- 2standing practice that Non-Christians could not attend schools. So in August 1824 he was baptized i n the Trier Evangelical church. Therefore he had his road to college paved for him by being able to go to school for lower education. Marx started college at Bonn University where his father wanted him to learn law and continue the family business. Marx on the other hand wanted to go for philosophy. He switched to Berlin University after his first year so that he could get a better education. Marx disappointed his father by not studying law and told his father ââ¬Å"I did not read works on jurisprudence primarily to become a lawyer, but rather to find metaphysical answers.â⬠(Padover 49). Marx got a doctorate in philosophy from Berlin with financial help from his mom whom was not well off financially and lived in a lower-middle class neighborhood. In 1842 Karl Marx started writing for a liberal democratic newspaper called Rheinische Zietung in Cologne, and at the end of 1842 Marx became the editor for the paper (Padover 29). In the beginning of 1843 Marx was told by the minist ry that at the end of the quarter the paper must cease publication, causing Karl to resign immediately. The summer of 1843 before heading to Paris to devote his time to studying political economy and the history of the great French Revolution, he married the daughter of Privey Councillor Von Westphalen in trier named Jenny Von Westphalen. Marx liked to speak his mind in writings, which caused him to be expelled from France by Guizot in 1845 (Carver 208) . Upon leaving France he went to Brussels and stayed there, pursuing the same studies, until the outbreak of the February Revolution. Marx still could not keep his ideas to himself and was asked to leave Brussels, He was asked to return to France by the French Provisional 3Government to help with the uprising there (Appelbaum 119). Marx lived a poor life; his long time friend Fredrick Engles asked Marx and his family to move to London where he was. By doing so Engles helped Marx with food and shelter for him and his family. While in London Marx and Engles worked on papers and books together, Marx wrote article for the New York Times at that time also. Even with all of the writings that Marx did he still never made a lot of money. In Karl Marxââ¬â¢s later years he was always sick with different ailments causing him not to write much so he had no extra money to pay to see a doctor (Padover 323). Marx died March 14 1883 but his ideas are still alive today in different countries to day. Marxââ¬â¢s most famous writings include The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital for major works. He was well known for his time and his name still pops up in todayââ¬â¢s society. Karl Marx was a very smart man in history even though his views may not have been the right road. .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 , .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .postImageUrl , .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 , .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:hover , .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:visited , .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:active { border:0!important; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:active , .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5 .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u3cd5f31e8f87ee56d26f32f540a44de5:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Photography - We aim to portray the world at night EssayThe times of Karl Marx were nothing to brag about either. Imagine living in his time there was no advanced medicine and living without the technology that we have today. To some it may not be to bad but you still had to eat, provide shelter for your family and medical help for your family when they need. Since the medical care for Marx was to expensive and not as advanced as today he lost a lot of people dear to him that he would not have lost today. When Marx was a child he lost a sister and a brother to tuberculosis, in todayââ¬â¢s society. Marx was also the support for revolutions. He would put his ideas on pape r and let the public read them. A lot of times what he spoke of was truth that would lead to a revolution (Cameron 421). In 1840 the industrial revolution began in England 4and France had brought into being a new social force that was pressed for widespread change in society. This force was the industrial working class, a class of wage labourers concentrated in small factories and work places and increasingly inclined to resort to collective action, such as strikes, and collective organization, in the form of trade unions. Between the years 1830 and 1848, which mark two separate revolutionary uprisings in France, the industrial working class changed the shape of European politics. Karl Marx had a name for himself as a rebel but he did not directly fight the battle he brought the idea to society and the people would take it to the government or the labor leaders (Rigby 529). Karl Marx did leave economic contributions to free countries except for the idea to stand up for what you believe in. He did help communist counties set their rules and a guideline to live by. I think Karl Marxââ¬â¢s ideas on communism were wrong. Karl Marxââ¬â¢s ideas on communism are incorrect based on his ideas of economics. Marx believed that labor would be free (Cameron 124). Few if any people would work for free, if they get bored, they could go to the movies, theme parks, and other entertainment but where would they get the money from. His ideas that there would be no currency in the future are also wrong. Humans have lived for thousands of years, we have gone through time periods where barter was the only trade. They all eventually took up currency, Karlââ¬â¢s idea of concentration of wealth is faulty. Karlââ¬â¢s idea was that people who are rich, are rich because they get ideas on how to make something better than the next guy does. Poor 5people many times come u p with million dollar ideas. Money keeps being transferred from rich to poor, poor to rich. These ideas of Marxââ¬â¢s are wrong about economics and do not work. Look at counties like the former Soviet Union they are falling apart. The money they have they feel is safer in their home and in their pocket than in their banks. People are waiting in long lines for items such as food, all things that take some adjustment to get used to so that they can become a Democracy instead of communism. Karl Marx lived in a time a lot of us probably would not have wanted to. We would not have the convenience of our cars or an air conditioner on a hot summer day. Karl Marx did not live a life of luxury. He was far from a millionaire and the most important thing to him was his writings and ideas. His family was important too but he never had a job that could support them instead he wanted a job as a rebel. He enjoyed his freelance writing styles and causing uprising in different countries, he likes to be heard. He would write for anyone whom would print he did not do it for the money but the money did feed his family. Marx had a rough child hood being ridiculed by his dad for not following what his dad felt was best. Karl is best known for writing the highly subjective Communist Manifesto, which even today some private schools still will not let a copy through the door. Finally we talked about Karlââ¬â¢s contributions today and we can best say that his ideas are still alive today in countries like Cuba, North Korea and Vietnam. Karl Marx was a very smart man whoms ideas are still around today in a more modern society and he has a name that will be around for many more years as the man behind communism. .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 , .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .postImageUrl , .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 , .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:hover , .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:visited , .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:active { border:0!important; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:active , .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2 .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u5cbfc2522aeadb303b4496c18a2407e2:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: Sdasdsa EssayPhilosophy
Gender and Crime for Inherently Exploitative - myassignmenthelp
Question: Dsicuss about theGender and Crime for Inherently Exploitative. Answer: There is a very famous saying that sex sells and is usually used in context of advertising, where the people resort to sex for selling their product. And each time an advertisement is shown women are presented as the centre of sexual fantasy and are often projected in a derogative manner, almost like sex objects (Streitmatter, 2004). Sex work is inherently exploitative of women, be it in the more sophisticated world of advertisements or the downwardly looked upon work of prostitution. Even the word prostitution puts the focus of women engaging in sex for money, in the minds of majority. Sex work particularly becomes exploitive for the migrant workers, where the women often have to resort to prostitution in order to earn their livelihood (Anderson and Andrijasevic, 2008). And at such instances, sex work takes the form of sex trafficking, even though the same is a distinguished subject, where the women are taken across border, to indulge in sexual activities, for earning their daily br ead. At some instances, sex work is allowed, and at other instances, the same is just tolerated for the sake of it (Sunday News Online, 2017). In the following parts, the sex work has been analysed in context of the law surrounding it, to highlight that indeed sex work results in exploitation of women. Sullivan (2010) has highlighted that there has been a moderate opening for legal sex work in the past three decades. In a number of jurisdictions, the escort agencies and brothels have been legalized, which has led to decriminalization of street based sex work in New South Wales. The approach taken by the nation is very different from the other developed nations like Canada and United States where majority of prostitution continues to be illegal. However, each Australian jurisdiction has different approach towards prostitution law and towards its policies. The reason why the change was adopted by the governments, from sex work being barred, to the same being allowed, stems from the strength of the sex worker advocacy groups, the feminist movements supporting law reform, and the different other contributory factors. The need for bringing out the law stemmed from the need to protect the ones who were already engaged in sex work. There were a number of incidents where the women working in the brothels were being tortured and abused in the name of sex; and the migrant women were being forced to indulge in sex work to just survive; even though the brothels in the nation had the safest working environment in comparison to the other places in the world. Apart from this, the sex workers had to live in fear of arrest. But to give them a proper standing, and to maximize the occupational health and safety for the workers, the law was drawn (Sullivan, 2010). Similar to Australia is the case of Sweden, where the womens movement was a key factor in influencing the government policy in this regard. However, unlike Australia, buying sex has been made illegal in Sweden as a result of radical feminism, where the fears about foreign prostitutes and the liberal practices had a huge role to play. The ban on purchase of sex is deemed as an awareness of tendency of the Swedish people to take a strict stand on the issues, where the other nations have been liberal. Gould (2001) highlighted that the liberal feminists have defended this position that it is the right of the women to sell sexual services; and that by criticising the same the women would be treated as victims. However, the pragmatists have highlighted the morality of prostitution, where it was held that punitive laws were impractical and there was a need to replace with something where everything could work. However, the feminists like Shrage and Green have highlighted that prostitution i s morally repugnant, exploitative and degrading for women (Green, 1989; Shrage, 1989). This notion is quite right. How can someone be allowed to exploit the body of another, just to satisfy their sexual urges for money? Prostitution is a type of violence which hits the women and gives them a degraded status in the society. Without even exaggerated the facts, prostitution can be deemed as a synonym of sex trafficking, even when the two concepts are very different in terms of their core definitions. The reason for stating this is that in order to satisfy the urges of men, the pimps often exploit the foreign girls, where these girls are mistreated by their clients, apart from spreading life threatening sexual diseases. The girls who are brought from the east or the one who enter the nation on their choice, but, belong from east, are not well versed with the use of protection, owing to a lack of protection in their tradition. In their nations, condoms and other protective measures are simply too expensive. And in order to further the urge of the national clients, the pimps flood the nation with prostitutes from poor nations. The liberal view associated with the European nations, and Netherlands in particular, shows that prostitution is simply unacceptable. This is particularly in context of Dutch, where th ere has been a history of colonial exploitation. In the mentality of the Swedish people thus, the idea of prostitution as a job was an abomination (Gould, 2001). FitzGerald (2010) presented the case of female trafficked migrant, where the vulnerability of the female trafficked migrants in United Kingdom was highlighted. She questioned on regulation of the state on the bodies and behaviours of the female trafficked migrants, which was entangled with the anti-immigrant agendas, where the aim was only to extent the power extra-territorially, of the state. She highlighted that the neoliberal state frames the idea of vulnerability of women as a distinctive category of meaning, which is the part of neoliberal states emerging geographies. It was further covered by her that the human trafficking and the issue of trans-border sex work provided an insight in the normative discourse through which the concept of female vulnerability was manipulated by the neoliberal states. The anti-sex work lobbyists have presented the evidence towards a culture where there is continued patriarchal violence against all women. Ad as a result of this, there has been a lac k of appropriate anti-trafficking policy recommendations. Thus, there was a need for the non-Western women to be protected by the state through the law, in order to protect their bodies in terms of suffering associated with sex work, and the abuse coupled with it. This is in particular light of the policy of the European Union in context that the migrant women are a constant source of sexual exploitation. The key problem with the framing of human trafficking is that it runs parallel to the anti-trafficking initiatives. Such initiatives are gendered and racialised interpretations of gendered interpretations of female vulnerability for rescaling the attempts of managing the mobility of particular populations, both internationally and domestically. The current feminist debate is over the sex work going beyond the issues of consent and force, as being the key aspects of sex trafficking, towards the more broader and ethical question regarding the very nature of sex work. The position of the abolitionist, i.e., who oppose sex work, is that based on the moralistic, religious and political conservatives. Though, the robust abolitionists have aged against the regulations, i.e., the ones who support sex work, position. Miriam (2005) has highlighted that pro sex work approach is dependent upon liberal model of agency, which is also contractual, and which presupposes and conceals the demand side off the prostitution as an institution. To put it more simply, it is argued that sex work is not something which the women have to provide necessarily and that it is actually demanded by men. However, against the abolitionists this view is the claim of regulationist, where they fail to legitimize or recognize the agency of women in sex work (Gor e, 2014). The pro sex work argument is focused on the requirement of legitimizing sex work in order to maintain the dignity of the women who have no other promising economical options (Bell, 2009). And by opting for these regulations, the sex workers are more likely to be safeguarded from the conditions of sexually transmitted diseases, assaults and rapes (Dale and Rose, 2010). However, this approach proves t o be an inapt one in the Australian context, as the conditions of brothels, even when the sex work was not legitimized in the nation, was the best amongst the globe. Also, this approach fails in highlighting the women who are forced to be sex workers, particularly in the context of migrants. GAATW or Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women has insisted upon a distinction being drawn between free and coerced prostitution, in order for the migrant sex workers to get better access to social services and financial resources, instead of being deemed as sex trafficking victims (Stanford, 2 017). But, who is to stop the migrants from accepting that they are not being forced to do sex and are instead choosing it freely? When a migrant can be brought from their nation to another nation, and forced into sex, who would protect them when they raise their voice against being forced to indulge in sex work, instead of going forward with this inhumane and undignified use of their body as their own choice (Murphy, 2013). The distinction of GAATW also ignores the issue of the demand for sex by males, and thus makes a liberal assumption that freedom is just the state where the women are left alone, or the state where the women are not being forced to do something. In short, the conceptualization of prostitution as an institution is based fundamentally on the sex rights of men and the entitlement of men to demand sexual access to women (Stanford, 2017). An interesting claim make by the pro work position is there is an assumption on agency and victimization being mutually exclusive. So, where the sex worker is able to negotiate their working conditions, then she would be deemed to have agency and cannot be a victim. Where she is forced to indulge in sexual activities, she would be a victim and would not have agency. Again, a key point here is what would happen when a sex worker agrees to indulge to a particular sexual activity, but is forced into some other sexual activity. What would the woman be in suc h case, a victim or an agency? Another key point is all of this is that at each instance, each scholar has highlighted (O'Connor and Grainne, 2007). There is no mention of a man being forced into prostitution or a migrant being trafficked for sexual pleasures of women. At each and every instance, the focus has been over the degraded treatment of the women. Even when the context of pro sex worker is discussed, the empowerment of women is cited as a reason for allowing females to be indulged in sex work (Elms, 2010). However, this again proves them as being victims, instead of self-reliant individuals, working for their livelihood. On the basis of the discussion carried on in the previous segments, it thus becomes clear that sex work is actually exploitative and that too in context of women only. Owing to the patriarchal mindset, the women are still deemed as victims, who are forced to sell their bodies for money, in order to fill their tummies. It is an apathetic situation where the choice of the women is seldom given any weightage. Even though the condition in the nation is best when it comes to sex work, but the same cannot be stated in global context. In a global context, the women are still being trafficked and the migrant women are still being forced to enter into sex work as an intimidation and the only option before them to earn a livelihood, and in some cases, the same escalates to a threat of life. Australia has brought forward laws to regulate the sex work and to give it legal validity, but there is a different law for each jurisdiction. A person who is not able to earn their livelihood, is less like ly to know what is covered under the law, to say that the sex workers are actually protected in the nation; thus, the chances of females being exploited for sex, are still present.

Land Pollution in Dar es Salaam Urban City Essay Example
Land Pollution in Dar es Salaam Urban City Paper The concept of land pollution by government is so wide and complex because it has been conceptualized differently by different actors such as organization, government itself and private sectors through over time. This includes responsibility of the government and non-government actors about the cause, effects and solution to land pollution problem. Land pollution is said to be a threat to urban dwellers in both developed and developing countries. As a population growth rate and arbitration become increased, solid and chemical waste is generated due to different activities including industrial and human activities. Arbitration as argued by Dubbed (1 990:1 7) defines arbitration as a community consisting of a large concentration of population in a relatively limited geographical area. This is activated by the production of manufactured goods and distribution of various types of goods and services involving high degree of specialization and complicated technology. The main objectives of this research paper are to explore the industrial activities to land pollution problem in relation to urban city change in Dark sees Salaam Tanzania. The study is generally aimed to explore Dark sees Salaam urban city planning for solid waste management system and the currency of land pollution in areas of Leila, Kingdom and Teemed municipal.

Land pollution is seriously in areas of all, Teemed and Kingdom municipal where planning and sewage system are poorly developed. Today the garbage and other solid waste appears to be much in these areas and other urban dwellers and visitors in the country where plastic bags and cans are being seed. More data about this study have been collected through internet search, library search where few literature have been written little about land pollution in urban cities and other data were primarily obtained through oral and observation through naked eyes like poor toilet systems, sewage system, even here at university Dark sees Salaam particularly main campus and Mambo hostel where sewage system are poor due to frequent leakage and pollutes environment while others are secondary data related to the research topic. Other waste generated around this area including water bottles and plastic gas which are being used by almost all students and thrown everywhere around these areas. Few data Were collected by relating solid waste management, water resource management and energy resource management where quantitative and qualitative approach is used in this study. Other scholars argue that rural-urban migration in Tanzania is high and the urban population increased from 15 % of the total population in 1980 to 33% in 2001(World Bank, 2003) and it has been estimated that by 2025 more than half of the population in Tanzania will live in urban areas. Today the urban planning is inadequate. Consequently, the urban expansion lacks consideration of environmental issues (land, water quality and supply, sanitation and solid waste management) or urban-rural development effects. The current population growth rate according to Macomb, (2008 p. 14) is 4. 9 per annum. This means that there is an increased rate of solid and chemical waste generation in Dark sees Salaam urban city with its three municipalities of Leila, Kingdom and Teemed where solid and chemical wastes are being generated. The city is bound to come up with effective strategies for land pollution control for sustainable future generation. Various sources of land pollution show that industrial activities which are carried out in urban cities including Dark sees Salaam creates land or soil pollution, Jeanne Meager (2011) contents that the amount of waste produced by human societies is increasing. Pollution being a major problem in urban areas of Tanzania is due to improper treatment and disposal of solid and liquid wastes that contribute to urban area pollution. The combined result of these problems on land is that both air and water also have been contaminated with pollutants from land environment which are detrimental to human health. In Dark sees Salaam, for example, less than 5% of the population is connected to a sewage System. Where a sewage system exists, raw sewage is discharged directly into the Indian Ocean without prior treatment. The following are the suggested methods which are advised to be used; Dumping process and refineries of wastes, Sanitary landfill, Composition method and Incineration/burning of waste, but these methods have failed to set land free from pollution. Therefore land pollution means degradation or destruction of the earths surface and soil directly or indirectly as a result of human activities. Encyclopedia Britannica define land pollution as deposition of solid or liquid waste materials on the land or underground that threaten the public health and cause unsightly condition and nuisances. In Dark sees Salaam urban city landfill and land reclamation have led to land deterioration through landfill contents. Although different strategies for land pollution control are being suggested and drafted, land pollution is still a problem in Dark sees Salaam city due population increase that according to Jeanne Meager (201 1), the amount of waste produced by human societies is increasing which creates industrial asset effluents discharged from chemical industries, paper and pulp mills, tanneries, food processing industries, power plants like Bungs power plant in Kingdom municipal which generate fly ash and among the others. To manage land pollutants in the city is very costively and therefore the city at one stage is experienced mushrooming heaps of uncollected garbage, this waste produces smell which attracts flies that cause health problems to the city dwellers. However, presently there some signs of improvements although generally Tanzania has no culture of sorting out solid waste before disposal. Solid waste is collected and transported by contracted private companies to the dumpiest. It should be noted that all dumpiest in the city generate a lot of health and environmental problems Encyclopedia Britannica contents that, deposition of solid or liquid waste materials on land or underground leads to threaten of Public health and cause unsightly condition and nuisances. The idea of introducing sanitary landfill is ever talked about but never implemented by the government, Living (1999) contents that urban pollution is a major problem in urban where solid and liquid waste is a major contributor. Also the Daily Newspaper sometimes back carried a story entitled, Garbage dumps mushroom in Dark streets but this situation is not gloom as such because private and public agencies play a part to collect garbage and transport them to dumpiest by trucks while some waste are often burned. Therefore, Ajar N (2011), argues that all substances or compounds that enter the soil/the land are potentially contaminants; therefore we should recycle, reuse or reduce them. Some settlements such as Bunting and Hangnails are located along the Amazing River which cuts across Dark-sees-SIAM city from East to West dividing the city into two parts North and South). The rivers basin is mainly vegetated by mangrove swamps. The area is popular in Dark sees Salaam because of the role it plays in the urban economy. Most of the fresh vegetables, I. E. Macho (spinach), sold by street vendors in Dark-sees-Salaam are produced there and their residues are thrown away improperly, this leads to land pollution. In order to meet human needs like food production, manufacturing and processing of finished goods and packaging industries are established and increased rates of use have raised the rates of waste generation and regrettably the present technologies Anton cope with the increased rates of disposal. Industrialization process therefore contribute to land pollution through by products of food stuffs and chemicals which are highly toxic are being generated, poor sewage system treatment contributes to land pollution through solid waste and liquid waste is being left during sand mining sites or overcrowded sand mining agricultural products (food stuff remain), municipal and house hold waste such as papers, ashes, glass, metals bottles and plastic are some sources of waste or pollutants in areas of all, Kingdom and Teemed municipals. Several industries located along Pug Road industrial area discharge their waste materials like factory rubbish, packaging waste material, organic waste, scrap metals, tars, dyes, slags, batteries and other heavy metals into land (Stonewashed). The situation is environmentally unacceptable, other waste can be generated from shops, homes like bags, empty cans, glass, bottles, Waste paper, diaper, cloth or rags; bio medical Waste like pathological and anatomical waste; construction/demolition waste like concretes, debris, woods; horticulture waste like vegetable parts, residues and remains of laughter animals like bones are also discharged to land. In Tanzania, some of the root general causes for environmental land degradation are unsustainable farming and mining, overgrazing, uncontrolled forest clearing and wild fires. Other drivers include: inadequate alternative energy sources; a lack of financial institutions that provide credit to farmers to acquire or develop land; LACUNA annual report (201 2/ 201 3) contents that rapid population growth resulting in pressure on land resources. Therefore land pollution in Dark sees Salaam urban city is as a result of industrial activities, unman activities, poor urban planning and population growth rate. Sand mining for construction activities is being undertaken within the Dark sees Salaam City in areas which are not designated for such activities. This phenomenon has created conflicts between residents and city authorities and ultimately undermined principles of urban planning. It has created big holes which essentially affect the aesthetic features of the area. This activity has potentially exacerbated soil erosion and resulted into a loss of productive land. The Government passed the Environment Management Act of 2004 for effective and sustainable management of the environment. Hence, enforcing of special laws pertaining to environmental management is emphasized. Meaningful and effective environmental law must be clearly understood and treasured by the communities and individuals whom it is aimed. The legislation sets out standards and procedures, duties and limits, create obligations for all stakeholders, which will fit human activities and govern land resource sustainable. Waste transportation and collection according to Encyclopedia of environmental pollution and its control Volvo. IV (1989), involves lit modal combination of public and private agency like trucks, walking and head carrying depending on accessibility. These trucks some are owned by government and others by private trucks where bottles for cooking oils, local liquids are being collected and recycled. Also some metals like aluminum are collected to be recycled; crude oil is refined to produce usable diesel, gas and petrol. In the process of waste treatment some waste are biodegradable and easily dumped while others are non-biodegradable and are difficult to recycle, this cause land pollution. In developed countries nuclear waste nutrients to land pollution by generating radioactive materials that contain chemicals which affects human health and land environment. It is believed that with strong government and institutional framework which is well coordinated all the above environmental problems could be resolved. The major sources of land pollution in Dark sees Salaam City are motor vehicles that believed to be the primary source affecting ambient land quality, industrial pollution and residential burning of fossil fuels is another source for pollution. Automobile oil spills on land is a growing problem in Dark sees Salaam City and as such it needs immediate attention before it goes Out Of control. Environmental expenditure review PEER (2004) reports that large amount of waste particles such as woods, metals, bricks, electronic wires and plastics are generated during road construction, rail ways and houses. Classification of solid waste in these areas includes; garbage or decomposable waste, rubbish which can be combustible and non-combustible waste like paper, wood, cloth, rubber leather and garden waste, ashes, industrial solid waste and agricultural waste among the others. The simplest method which have been seed to collect these waste includes crude tipping or open dumping like at Tab dump site, this method is commonly used to those cities found around Indian Ocean and other method adopted but never implemented in Dark sees Salaam city is landfill for solid waste. Inadequate urban planning is a significant driving force behind rising pollution levels, because residential and commercial centers are often far apart, forcing mass movement of workers on a daily basis by using motor vehicles. Soil pollution; soil is being polluted as a result of land degradation through chemical fertilizers which are in liquid while others are in soil form, this weaken the soil quality. Therefore water or wind can easily remove top soil part. Another effect is the change in climate patterns due global warming as a result of deforestation and in the other hand poor urban planning and other human activities contributes to ecosystem that in turn leads to change in climate change because of ozone layer depletion as harmful gases are generated due smelling of garbage. Land pollution also leads to public health problems like diseases because it encourages the growth of flies which transmits typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery among other disease. Directing sewage disposal from land to ocean leads death of marine organisms and burning of waste leads to soil acidity. Various ways should be employed by government and private agencies on how to solve the problem of land pollution in rapid growing urban cities in Africa including Dark sees Salaam in Tanzania. The ways to be followed includes; Education to the people should be provided so as to be aware about the concept of reduce, recycle and re use products; the use of pesticides, insecticides and agricultural chemical fertilizers should be reduced in favor of using gardening or organic foods, the government and land managers should encourage buying or importing biodegradable products that do not affect land by either direct or indirectly; and the government or private agencies should encourage selection of open dumping sites which is a cheap method and providing public sanitary facilities for general environmental management like trucks and dustbins, introduction of national sanitary landfill, development of physical infrastructure and proper chemical waste disposal. Research paper wring as process of doing critical reading has been limited with time and books material about the topic. Time constrain ND lack of money for travel contributed this research paper to be conducted through telephone interview, internet search, email and library where very few readings related to research topic are found. The study attempts to cover a cross section of land pollution in Dark sees Salaam urban city and their surroundings with a varying action/cause, effects of pollutants or pollution as well as regulatory measures to overcome the problem. The main concerns in waste management are proliferation of plastic in waste streams, industrial waste, oil pipe leakage and sewage leakage. Engineering option for waste espousal in Dark sees Salaam is limited due to poor land planning and urban city planning, many open dump sites are not used properly and lack of national sanitary landfill. In different literatures, waste generation from various source is viewed to be disadvantageous and harmful to land and human health as it pollutes and contaminate the environment and attract flies which health leads to diseases like dysentery, diarrhea and typhoid but in the other side, waste if treated properly can be useful especially biodegradable waste can be used as sources of composite manure. It is not only all pollutants are harmful o environment but also some are useful as they save some microorganism in land. Land pollution in urban cities in developed and developing countries is generally as a result of different factors such as industrial activities, human activities, mining and agriculture activities. In Dark sees Salaam urban city, pollution is due to rapid population increase versus poor urban planning. Tanzania government has proved failure in urban planning in Dark sees Salaam city hence it is difficult for land managers to control land pollution, the natural environment has always been exploited to fulfill human needs but urine this century the scale of our demands has grown so large that we are degrading the ecosystem upon which our health and live hood depends World Bank, (1998) Pl. Technologies from outside has led to challenge in land management policy because it generates solid and liquid waste that pollutes the land environment as they are deposited inland. There should be land saving technology (LAST) in order to save environment from pollution.
