Any country can come up with documents saying there are going implement these laws but down the road are they really keeping their end of the bargain? One of the more effective policies geared towards human sex trafficking was the Memorandum on Steps to Combat Violence Against Women and Trafficking in Women and Girls. Through this memorandum President Clinton was able to implement an increase awareness of human trafficking. He also made provision to protect the victims with the help of law enforcement to prevent women and girls from being trafficked as well as ensuring that traffickers are severely penalized. President Clinton success of this memorandum was that he not only ensured protection for the victim but also through law enforcement was able to persecute the traffickers. The Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA), which has been reauthorized four times, was enacted as a twofold: “to ensure just and effective punishment of traffickers, and to protect their victims.” (McReyonds) One of the major things that the TVPA 2003 enabled was “bring a civil action against the perpetrator in an appropriate district court of the United States” and to “recover damages and reasonable attorneys fees.” (McReyonds) This was a major success because it brought significant amount of public attention assuring the appropriations for anti-trafficking programs in the U.S as well as increase the federal humanitarian aid in specific areas including post- conflict situations. (McReyonds) The TVPA also creates a new and separate administrative path to legal residence for human trafficking victims through the T-Visa. This allows a trafficking survivor to continuing living in the U.S. for three years; during this time he or she has legal work authoriza...

"Through the lens of Gender theory, Shakespeare's characterization of men and women in Hamlet demonstrate a patriarchal approach throughout the play. In particular, we may explore the female characters of Gertrude and Ophelia and how they challenge -or fail to challenge- the domination of male characters. Throughout the play, Ophelia is represented as incoherent, silent, and a quintessential mad woman. Whilst Gertrude is represented as solely dependent on men, and
Most people think of someone using their cell phone while driving when they hear distracted driving, but it it much more than that. Distracted driving is when someone who is behind the wheel get distracted by either taking their hands off the wheel or take their mind of driving, which can cause them to get into an accident (paragraph 2). Distracted driving is broken down into three main parts, manual distractions which is taking your hands off the steering wheel, visual distractions which is taking your center of attention off the road and cognitive distraction which is when your mind is not focused on driving and just starts drifting away (paragraph 3). Cell phone use is easily the biggest cause of distracted driving compared to eating, talking, and others because using your cell phone requires visual, manual and cognitive attention from the person behind the wheel and in a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association, the amount of people who break the law and use a handheld device behind the wheel increases every single year. An estimated amount of more than, six hundred thousand people use their phone while driving. Distracted driving has quickly risen and developed in the past few years and is becoming an enormous problem. In a recent study, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), showed statistics of approximately three thousand, one hundred fifty

According to University of South Carolina Student Health Services website, “Mucopurulent Cervicitis is often cause by inflection and the infection can be caused by a number of different organisms”1, but then the “cause can be unknown or unclear”.1 I think that this is a contradicting statement. The article when on to say that “chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, or herpes can cause Mucopurulent Cervicitis, but most cases no cause can be identified”.1
...ea of the float exchange rate and his many other theories, is being used by most governments today. Friedman had a huge contribution in the scientific studies of economics and changed many views of people on the role of the government and the free market system. He presented his ideas through his books, interviews, and by becoming a politician. With a capitalist society the citizens are given many more advantages and freedom than a communist economy. The former advisor of President Reagan, Martin Anderson, had once stated, “If you step back and look at all the sweeping political and economic changes in the United States and even in other countries, a lot of people have had an important effect. But if you had to say one person who had the most impact, it’s Milton Friedman.” Milton Friedman has had a great influence on the world and will continue to in the long-run.
