In discussing the connection between the universality of human rights and the issue of human trafficking, our group contemplated over the idea that human rights rules are constantly changing due to constant developments from countries all over the world. Changes and advancements are constantly occurring in countries, including changes in technology and what resources are readily available. Also, in people moving to different locations all over the world, they are exposed to more or less of what they were previously used to; therefore, is it possible for people to expect the same rights, regardless of changes in cultures and customs? From this idea, our group discussed the idea that there are violations of human rights being made all over the world, yet these violations may seem more extreme for one country than for another ( eg pornography in the United States vs human trafficking in Korea). How does the UN and those part of the establishment of what constitutes as a violation of human rights take into consideration other cultures and the importance of some rights over others? We plan on taking this idea and connecting it to how common a practice human trafficking has become in certain areas of the world; while we in the united states view human trafficking as a clear violation of human rights, why do those involved in it in Korea not view it as such?
