Global Social Work 2015 Midterm Question #3

3) a) define structural violence using our readings and also an excellent summary of Farmer and Sen's views on this by Kathleen Ho: http://projects.essex.ac.uk/ehrr/V4N2/ho.pdf.

b) give an example of structural violence in your country (supported by data)

c)  present your dream of what a globally-informed social worker could do about that example (remember to use the readings).

Global Social Work 2015 Midterm Question #2

2. Imagine you were air-lifted into a village with one of the problems Kristoff, Deif and others describe:

·      Sex trafficking of children (India, Southeast Asia)

·      Female genital mutilation in Africa

·      Honor killings and gang rape as punishment of women in Pakistan

·      Education of women illegal under the Taliban

·      Unequal legal rights for women under sharia law

·      Fistulas and other damage due to problematic pregnancies in Africa

What would be your approach as a global social worker?

https://www.ted.com/talks/bandi_mbubi_demand_a_fair_trade_cell_phone

Mr. Mbubi’s talk illustrates a number of themes from this class. 

a) Use our readings about globalisation to interpret events he describes in Congo as a side-effect of tantalum mining to build new electronic technologies.

b) If you wanted to take up Mr. Mbubi’s invitation and organize a campaign to Apple, describe how you could use the Vieques example and/or others from our readings, and sketch out the central elements of such a campaign.
