Research Project Proposal

(229 words)

Topic: Labor exploitation

Relation to the materials that we have read:

Donnelly’s “International Human Rights “ globalisation> cosmopolitism and multi-corporations

UDHR: economic rights, social rights

WuDunn’s article about Feminism> because one of the articles says especially WOMEN are vulnerable to abuses

Human right issue: labor exploitation

Region: Qatar, Arab

Theoretical Lens: Labor workers in developing countries

Research questions: 

1)How are developed counties exploiting labor workers in terms of human rights(specifically in Qatar)?

2)Are factories for the good of people in developing countries?

3)Factories in Qatar in preparation for World Cup 2022

4)Human rights Qatar has violated against labor workers

I am interested in this topic because people in developing countries take up a large portion of the world’s population. Nearly all of them work in factories opened up by developed countries because they are lowly educated. Therefore, it is essential to ensure they are working without having human rights violated. Also, for the presentation I have previously done, I did a little research about sweatshops so it might give me a head start to the research paper. Even though the issue is just about the extensive construction for the World Cup in 2022, it has already outlined and shown what Qatar would generally do to labor workers and they might keep doing the same for other constructions unless we make them change their systems.
