Research Annotated Bibliography on “Human Trafficking and Exploitation in the Global Economy”

Annotations are short paragraphs between 150-200 words, and bibliographies are the sources (citation) entries; therefore, an annotated bibliography will include the source (citation/journal article) entry and a brief description (summary, evaluation, and reflection) of each of the cited sources. 

Instructions: Students have been guided in the individual aspect of developing a mock research inquiry on a topic of interest. This final assignment aims to create an annotated bibliography on a topic related to a domestic or international human diversity-related issue on the macro level. The topic for this research will be “Human Trafficking and Exploitation in the Global Economy. This activity will allow students to explore issues about human behavior and diversity issues as a starting point in developing a research inquiry for the near future. 

Students will choose at least five peer-reviewed research studies (journal articles) related to your topic of interest on human diversity from a domestic or international (macro) environmental perspective. Articles must be recent (within the last five years) and relevant to an area of interest. The article selected must use a qualitative research method or a combination of qualitative and quantitative research.

For EACH article selected, students will create an annotated bibliography using the questions below as a guide for their annotations. See APA Manual (7th Edition) page 61-67 for sample student paper for proper APA formatting. These questions must be answered in the Annotated Bibliography.
