Getting Started
“Smuggling human beings and human trafficking need further clarification because these concepts are generally thought of as similar or identical” (Busch-Armendariz, Nsonwu, Cook, Heffron & Mahapatra, 2014, p. 30). The two terms and their definitions are often confused due to the intricate ways in which they interconnect. Exploitation is the major difference between human trafficking and human smuggling (Bruckert & Parent, 2002; Clawson et al., 2006).
Upon successful completion of this discussion, you will be able to:
- Differentiate between human trafficking and human smuggling
Resources
- Textbook: Human Trafficking: Applying Research, Theory, and Case Studies
Instructions
- Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
- Read the information in Human Trafficking: Applying Research, Theory, and Case Studies on the differences between human trafficking and human smuggling (pp. 30-31).
- Post a 1-2 paragraph discussion (around one page) regarding the contents of the table on p. 31. Please comment on differences between the two concepts: human trafficking and human smuggling. What is the main difference between the two? Are there any similarities? If so, what are they?
- Your initial post is due by the end of the fifth day of the workshop
- Your postings should also:
- Be well developed by providing clear answers with evidence of critical thinking.
- Add greater depth to the discussion by introducing new ideas.
- Provide clarification to classmates’ questions and provide insight into the discussion.
- Be posted on two different days during the workshop.
