Human Rights and Capitalism
BDIC | Thursday, November 3, 2011 James Greenwood (class of 2012)
Educational Goals
With each passing year I have observed an increase in the rate at which I see events which reflect a slow regression back to the days of slavery. The increase is both surreal and startling. Although outlawed in the United States some 145 years ago slavery is once again becoming a serious problem both at home and abroad and is being perpetrated by sources including CEO’s, farmers, and coyotes (those who help illegal immigrants cross the US, Mexico border).
Now known as human trafficking, or trafficking in persons, this illegal activity is the first piece of the puzzle I am assembling under the banner of my BDIC major. This within the broader theme of human rights comes to the second prong. The second prong is healthcare. While heath care can achieve longer life spans and a better world, the healthcare industry is also a gold mine of information. Heath care systems can be used to create a picture of people falling into pattern of abuse or addiction that could lead to or are indicative of trafficking. This action will require development of policies that may not be present in health care systems around the world. A clear understanding of healthcare systems in the United States and abroad is critical to gathering and utilizing data to track down and eliminate human trafficking rings.
These issues require similar skill sets; the ability to analyze and correct policy issues, the thought process to organize and execute social movements, the ability to understand the law and how it relates to the lives of those affected by its reinterpretation, and the ability to weigh all options and correctly choose the one that will result in the optimal results. These abilities are clearly met by using a combination of coursework that can be found nowhere else on this or any other campus.
Over all the combined Political Science, Management, and Public Health perspectives will grant me greater understanding of the problems that society faces. It will address how to drive policy decisions, how to leverege under represented communities and how to assess situations in an empirical manner that is critical when addressing issues of intrest.
