Human Trafficking
Newspaper

This article is about why people are thrown into human trafficking and how they actually become victims of it. The article quotes from a reporter of the National Bureau of Investigations which can create a bias for those who become victims of this trafficking by faking their identity. However, it also creates a bias for the particular countries where human trafficking is at large, since it is partly due to the nation's inability to create a stable working enviornment for everyone and so the large unemployment rate creates a bigger door into trafficking. This bias is shown because the "author" works for the Anti human trafficking division which automatically puts them on the side against this act.

This article was found in the newspaper which has potential effect since it is a widely used form of media. Although the article states that human trafficking has increased because of the web and the fact that people can advertise it through the internet, the web or newspapers also contain beneficial content in trying to stop and discourage human trafficking as well. Therefore, the effects of this medium is profound in that it is universal and prevalently used throughout since people not only read the papers but also use the internet very often. This message affects my thinking of the newspaper and the internet because it proves that the such media can actually be used for good and that its a great source in reaching the milions.
