Power Point Presentation is in the forum Section. https://poetsofottawa.ning.com/forum/topics/seminar-on-drugs-human-organs

1. Give two reasons why you selected this topic. I selected my seminar’s topic for several reasons among them its importance to our society as well as to the world’s societies. Moreover, its circumstances are continuing not only in our neighborhoods but around the globe. In addition, it is a truthful topic. Finally, my interest and experience as well as my skills dictate my choice of this topic. 2. Based on your initial survey of reference material, what are three important themes or issues pertinent to this topic? Explain the relationship of your topic to World Politics. The topic should be a current, international issue or event, which is (or should be) of concern to Canada and Canadians. The three important issues that are pertinent to my topic are the elements of culture, values and needs, and how they integrated, replicated, and animated positively and negatively to enrich or harm societies. My topic has a relationship to the World politics because drugs and crimes have different resources, markets and conceptions, and as I am a part of Canadian and international societies I see my self obligated to fight against crimes committed against human beings in order to protect the societies, and lower the crimes in local and global areas, furthermore; to fall down their causes. The topic is an international one, it has a major importance to Canadian society because many evidences have occurred in the United States of America, and the geopolitics and the social diversity concerns of both countries give us not only the proof of evidences that crimes of human organs trade as well as the distribution of illegal drugs might be occurring in Canada, but they already exist. 3.
