Root Causes
Based on my research through out my project, the three most common main root causes for human trafficking are low risk, high profits, and poverty and desperation ("Why Trafficking Exists | Polaris Project | Combating Human Trafficking and Modern-day Slavery", 2014). These root causes are all social, political, cultural and economic. The critical lens that would be used to analyze my issue would be the cultural lens and the marxists lens. The cultural lens could analyze how peoples' culture, values, beliefs, etc., play key roles in human trafficking. The cultural lens would allow us to examine why people are more vulnerable or subjective to human trafficking just because of what they believe or their religion. Marxist lens could analyze why people traffic others according to their "class." Meaning looking at the relationship between low, middle, or high class and the reason that they have for trafficking.
