The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized CrimeLinks to an external site. (Organized Crime Convention) guardian of the and the three Protocols – on Trafficking in Persons, Smuggling of Migrants and Trafficking of Firearms – that supplement it. This is the only international convention, which deals with organized crime.

Just some of the types of transnational crime are drug trafficking, kidnapping, human trafficking, human slavery, counterfeit goods, goods smuggling, piracy, cyber-attacks, money laundering, trading in stolen art, the trading of exotic animals, and other criminal activities.

Research

Choose an area of transnational crime about which you would like to learn more. Before you begin your research, write down what you know about the area you have chosen and the laws which govern or affect it.

Next, do some research and find out what is happening in your chosen arena of transnational crime. Analyze the effectiveness of the approaches you’ve discovered with regards to stopping your chosen transnational crime. Once you have completed your research and analysis, reflect upon what you learned and whether you the information you discovered confirmed your prior thoughts on the topic.

Cross-cultural research is a method of study that psychologists use to compare data and behaviors of people from differing cultures, rather than a single culture. In cross-cultural research, you need to ensure that there is equivalence throughout the study, as well as a lack of bias in your measures, associations, and conclusions. Equivalence is the evidence that your research uses the same techniques and measures to test the same phenomenon across cultures, and this equivalence helps your research to be considered valid and reliable. In addition to equivalence, you must be aware of the potential for personal bias in any cross-cultural research you conduct.

A bias is prejudicial predisposition that can prevent impartial thinking. In cross-cultural research, a bias can appear in various forms, such as the Barnum statement (a one-size-fits-all description) or the self-fulfilling prophecy (your assumptions about others can cause them to meet those expectations) (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008; Shiraev & Levy, 2010).

For this Discussion, perform an academic literature search in the Walden Library for a research study that includes specific cross-cultural research. Then, analyze the theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues included in the research study.

Article:

Do Consumers Discriminate Against Foreign Companies Even When They are Green?

Write a 250-400 words essay which include the following points:

1. A brief summary of the research study, including the topic and conclusions of the study.
2. Explain any possible theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues involved in the study.
3. Finally, share your thoughts about how, as a scholar-practitioner, you might address one or more of these issues.

Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

In this assignment you will explore printed media and discover new scientific data and see how that data is being used and interpreted. It will be easier to analyze and give your views on the article and related issues, if you become a critical reader. Decide if the information presented in the article is biased. Is the author trying to persuade you to agree with his point of view? Look at the people involved in the article, the writer, the researcher, the people funding the research -are they influencing how the research data is being presented? What are the values and beliefs of these people? Look at how new scientific data is collected and how it is used and developed within our society.

The Process:

1. Locate and read a recent article from a newspaper, magazine or the Internet. The article should have been written in 2016 and should relate to a science topic covered in psychology. Some places you might want to look for articles include:

· The Washington Post
· Science News Magazine
· The New York Times
· Time Magazine
· Discover
· The Washington Times
· Scientific American

Theses sources may be found in the library or on the Internet. You do not need a copy of the article to turn in with your review; however you will need to properly reference the article, as you would in a bibliography.

2. Summarize the information contained in the article. The summary should be 2-3 paragraphs in length and should include the basic facts given in the article. The summary should be about one half of the total length of the paper.

3. Give your views about the article. Your views will be unique, they will not be right or wrong. Your reaction to the article should be supported with thoughtful reasoning and explanations. Here are some points you might want to consider, they might not relate to all of the article you choose.

· Is the article related to topics covered in class?
· Is the article biased in any way? Is the author trying to convince the reader to agree with him/her?
· Do your personal beliefs influence they way this information should be used?
· Will this information affect you personally or someone in your family?
· Who is going to benefit from research in your article? Will all people have equal access to this information? Will this new discovery benefit many people or just a few?
· Who is going to benefit economically from this research?
· If a new technology is developed, will new laws need to be made to protect citizens?

4. The total length of the paper should be one or two pages typed, doubled spaced.

5. Credit the Author! Use a reference citation for the article just like one in a bibliography. The web address alone is not a proper citation!

· Example:

Author (date of publication) Title of the Article, Source. Volume, page number.

Jones, K., & Day, J. D. (1997) Discrimination of Two Aspects of Cognitive-Social Intelligence from Academic Intelligence, Journal of Educational Psychology. 89, 486-497

· If you find an article online this is how you would cite the author:
