    'Like Water For Chocolate': Review

    Like Water for Chocolate is about the love between two individuals (Tita and Pedro) and how their love was squandered by the societal norms of the age. Tita, the youngest daughter in her family, falls in love with Pedro. They have a “secret” relationship but when Pedro asks for her hand in marriage, Tita’s mother, Mama Elena, refuses. In her family’s traditions, people do not marry for love; they marry for convenience, and that is exactly what she continues with Tita and her sisters. Tita tries to rebel from her mother’s traditions but proves difficult when her love is being married to her sister. Mama Elena succeeds at keeping Tita and Pedro apart by having Rosaura (Tita’s eldest sister) and Pedro move to…

    The Pros And Cons Of Fair Trade

    Fair trade attempts to provide opportunities to small producers but there is a “lack of knowledge of what fair trade is and how it works” among producers because it is the cooperative leadership that handles most of the “activities related to fair trade”(Kharel and Middendorf, 2015, pg. 256). This is what Kharel and Middendorf say contributes to the “lack of producer commitment” because they do not understand the vision of fair trade which often leads to “producers’ defection of both the fair trade network and cooperative when the producers receive a better price in the traditional market” (2015, pg. 256). With the slow rise but growing popularity, Fair Trade is still limited to few agricultural commodities and specific geographic locations. A study by Brown published in 2007 looks at closer at the impact of fair trade in Africa, specifically Ghana, Tanzania and Nicaragua where there is a struggle for fair trade companies to be profitable when it comes to chocolate and…

    Sugar and Slavery

    What's not to like about sugar? On the average, modern Americans consume 100 pounds of sugar per year. It's sweet, and it gives a big energy boost. Well, yes, there are calories, cavities, and diabetes, but, in moderation, sugar is harmless ... right? In 1700, English consumption empire-wide was about four pounds of sugar per person per year. That certainly seems moderate. Yet in 1700 alone, approximately 25,000 Africans were enslaved and transported across the Atlantic Ocean. Up to two-thirds of these slaves were bound for sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean, Mexico, and Brazil to produce "White Gold." Over the course of the 380 years of the Atlantic slave trade, millions of Africans were enslaved to satisfy the world's sweet tooth. A sugar by-product, molasses, was distilled into rum and sent to Africa to purchase more slaves--this is the infamous Triangle Trade in the history books. Sugar's most bitter legacy is that the labor of slaves fueled the enslavement of even more Africans.…

    Slavery: The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade

    The darker your skin was the most likely you would become a slave, due to the beliefs of the skin color associating with darkness. An example of slavery is the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade began around the mid-fifteenth century, when Portuguese interest started focusing in using Africans as slaves, reaching its peak in the eighteenth century. Some Africans captured other Africans to sell them to European slave traders. Slavery was practiced in some parts of Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The slaves were treated badly due to their skin color. Colored people were still treated badly from the whites in the 1960s because of their color of their skin, even when slavery was abolished in. Many whites still…

    How Does Dehumanization Exist Today?

    Although many may not realize it, there is still human slavery today that rears its ugly head in such ways as child labor, “enforced prostitution, and state sponsored forced labor” (Datzberger, 2015). Slavery today is actually at an all time high. We search for labels on fair trade in hopes that we are not supporting any kind of human slavery; however, this is not always the case. Children, rather than being educated, are being used to work the fields where much of our coffee is grown as well as to make other products and be used in child pornography. Women are forced into prostitution while people justify the need for such ladies as well as the stating facts such as they are not women; they are possessions. And human trafficking is seen in “118 different countries” resulting in low cost labors for “restaurants, fisheries, brothels, farms, and homes” (Datzberger, 2015).…

    Slavery in the Chocolate Industry

    The systematic ethical issues raised by this case include economical, political, and legal questions. Let us first look at the economical repercussions. Would it be economically logical not to do any business with these countries? The answer is no, considering close to half of the world’s chocolate is made from the cocoa beans that are grown in the Ivory Coast and Ghana. If we were to refuse to do any business with these countries or the people associated with these countries, the costs of the products may be un-affordable to consumers. As far as political issues, I’m sure we’re not the only country who does business with these other countries, and if we stop doing business with the ivory coast and Ghana the other countries that also do business with them may stop doing business with us. The last systematic issue raised is legal. As stated in the article slavery on the farms is in illegal in the Ivory Coast. Whether it is or how well the laws are enforced is for the most part out of our control.…
