The reason I decided to choose the disciplines that I am currently studying is that I have

always wanted to work in management. Human resources, organizational management, and

finally communication studies are all key concepts in being a successful manager. The current

version can go in a multiple directions as there are two benefits of asking overachieving

questions as our text points out, “The question can deepen an existing line of inquiry and

possibly initiate a new line of inquiry, and the question can help draw out interrelationships

among phenomena. Disciplines can rarely explain all aspects of a complex problem.” (Repko,

A.F. 2012)

The focus question that is applied to our current situation of human trafficking is using

my three areas of discipline that come to an overall solution for the problem. The focus

question that I have been focusing on during my studies is what are the key concepts on

resolving human trafficking within today`s world?

The one discipline that I will be discussing in our discussion board this week is human

resources which is the discipline that strongly relates to organizational management. However,

human resources focuses on hiring of personal within our organizations, administration, legal

policies such as sexual discrimination, and finally training of all personal within the organization.

The first summary of information I have been able to locate within my interdisciplinary research

is that today`s United States flight attendants seek training for looking for particular trafficking

victims. The association of flight attendants (AFA) has over 50,000 members and 18 airlines in

the sky. If they had the proper training in advance they could notify local law enforcement

agencies and slow down the 14,500-17,500 victims placed into human trafficking every year.

This potential source was located from:

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/05/us-airlines-trafficking-training-

idUSKBN0OL2EO20150605. The next scholar source is located within the U.S. Senate and is the

recently passed new human trafficking bill 99-0. This reference located applies that new more

strict laws be placed to increase penalties against predators and more support for the victims of

sexual human trafficking. It also implies that it gives local and national law enforcement

agencies the strength to fight against human trafficking. Before we can live a free life of human

trafficking throughout the world we need to step up the training efforts in all organizations such

as the airline industry and our local law enforcement agencies but we need to set the record

straight to the predators and animals that are a part of this crime. We are not going to stand

back and watch you use these victims. The new more strict laws for these predators and more

support for the victims will ensure a cut back in this crime. The second reference was located

from http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/23/us/politics/senate-vote-on-human-trafficking-

bill.html?_r=1

I have spent numerous hours at the Lubbock public library locating scholarly forms of

information for my studies. One of the books I located is Breaking Free: True stories of girls who

escaped modern slavery Retrieved from Lubbock Public Library ISBN # 978-1-4380-04532. This

source told me men in Cambodia will pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to rape a virgin for a

week because of a virgin’s magical powers. Then sadly they are sewn up and sold again for a

predator`s profit. That alone wants me to help locate information on what needs to be done to

fight this terrible crime we have in the world. Finally, I have learned this week that one should

focus their attention on books for credible forms of information and then turn to potential

journals. I end this discussion with a quote from our text which states, “In reading and thinking

about the sources one gathers, one should ask these two questions: What counts as evidence in

this discipline? And what kind of evidence is this disciplinary author omitting that would shed

additional light on the problem?”
