It includes a variety of actions ranging from elopement or staged abduction for consensual marriage to violent non-consensual kidnapping. ‘Kidnapping’ refers to the non-consensual variety, which typically involves a young man and his friends taking a young woman by deception or force to the home of his parents or a near relative” (Kleinback, Ablezova, Aitieva, 2005). There are many facets of bride kidnapping—the nonconsensual bride kidnapping is what is victimizing women and their families in Kyrgyzstan. To see if nonconsensual marriage actually existed and showed trends of increasing, researchers Russell Kleinbach, Mehrigiul Ablezova, and Medina Aitieva, conducted investigations and research in a small village in Kyrgyz that was large enough to provide a representative sample and small enough so that all women in the village could be surveyed (Kleinback, Ablezova, Aitieva, 2005). Other factors that determined why the north-eastern region village was chosen included strong ties between the researchers and the residents and the existence of current census data on the village—this provided the most accurate data for the research at hand. After research was conducted, data showed that, “the level of mutual consent in kidnappings in Kyrgyzstan is relatively low” in addition to this mutual consent data, is the date involving non-consensual marriages, “According to our respondents only 34 percent of kidnappings were conducted with the woman’s consent. Forty-six…

Women in Central Asia have it very difficult. Their position in society is nowhere equal men. The women in southern Asia have it rougher than those in the northern part. These women were abducted and forced to marry their kidnappers. These women could be living the life they want to live one and force into marriage the next. The males believed in polygamy so Kyrgyz parliament rejected measure that would cracked down on women abduction. To this day polygamy is illegal but many men practice…

Standard 15 and 24. Standard 15 is defined as Nonprofit organization leaders "provide a mechanism for identifying client needs and assets, and assisting in planning and mobilizing to advocate for those needs at the individual, and community level” (NOHS, 2014). Mortenson hired Ted Callahan to do a needs assessment for the Kyrgyz people. In preparing the needs assessment, Callahan noted that the “Kyrgyz tribe preferred a road that would reach the rest of Afghanistan, or health clinic” instead of…

Revolutions have occurred all over the world. The most noteworthy have been the American and French Revolutions. Revolutions can happen for many reasons. In this essay, I will be writing about the causes of the Latin American revolutions and other European Revolutions. In Latin America, the countries of Haiti, Venezuela, Chile, and Argentina were trying to break off of their mother country. In Document 1, Louis Peru de Lacroix describes Simon Bolivar as being “too dogmatic”, and “not always…

The animal I classified was the snow leopard. Basic information that I will be researching about the snow leopard are it's habitat, food, size, and it's features and adaptations. In the summertime a snow leopard usually lives in alpine areas that elevate from 900 to 5,500 meters. Alpine areas are areas that mountainous and steep with high altitudes causing it to be windy and cold. In the winter, snow leopards migrate to lower altitudes. These areas where snow leopards live are located in 12…

by this. Enough is enough, it has been long enough and the young women are crying out to people only to be shut down and shamed for going against the kidnappings. C:Claim: For many centuries, the people of Kyrgyzstan have claimed that the tradition of bride kidnappings have always been in their blood and that “...everyone understands this is a tradition and you can’t change it.”( Staff, Vice) EE:Establishing Evidence: They often say that the practices have dated back to the ancient times, even…

actions while incarcerated and come to a realization of the inhumane actions they committed. The more interesting fact being that the government cannot come to a realization that their actions are inhumane and promote more violence than its prevents. Another interesting factor that is strange is the suspect sympathy that occurs due to the death penalty. Rather than feeling for the victim, the death penalty is able to place a greater sadness on the criminal. This excludes the victim's family of…

The Pale of Settlement included the territory of present-Day Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine and Belorussia. More than 90% of Russian Jews were forced to live in the poor conditions of the Pale, which made up only 4% of the territory of Russia. Nevertheless, Jewish population grew from 1.6 million in 1820 to 5.6 million in 1910. Even within the Pale, Jews were discriminated against; they paid double taxes, were forbidden to lease land, run taverns or receive higher education. The Russian…

“producers” and all the rest of us are just parasites and slackers who feed off their “work.” So it will be very good for our economy to get them working harder by taxing them at 90%! You may have heard about those 25 hedge fund managers who brought in an average of $1 billion each last year – an amount that would have paid for 658,000 teachers — while the rest of the country suffered through a terrible economy. If we had a top tax rate of 90% they would “only” take home $100 million or so each…

attribution of status by the international community and by other major powers (Levy 1983). However, once status has been ascribed, the range and scope of commitments that come with it force major power states to expand further their role and prevent them from disengaging from international politics. When the community of states attributes major power status to a few of its members, such attribution comes with expectations that these states will exercise leadership on a variety of issues and…
