Long-lasting territorial dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region (also known as Artsakh), internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan. Most of the population in Nagorno-Karabakh is ethnic Armenian and wants independence. On-and-off behavioural violence and armed conflict until 2020 ceasefire. Lately, Azeri "protesters" protesting over "environmental concerns" have blockaded the Lachin corridor, the only real land corridor between Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenia. Supplies and equipment cannot get through and are being rationed (human rights). Within the past week there has been active fighting and escalation. Artsakhis can't really leave due to the fighting and blockade and have little mobility. If they tried to leave, they might face hostilities from the Azeri military and previously mentioned "protesters" – similar to how migrants in FFBB face hostilities from border patrol agents and the public. Identity plays a role as religion and ethnic identity is a big part of this conflict. Armenia is a Orthodox Christian-majority country, while Azerbaijan is predominantly Muslim. This and other differences has caused a greater separation between Azeris and Armenians. Armenia says that Azerbaijan is an illegal occupying power in Nagorno-Karabakh.]]> 2023-04-19 18:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560593232 Portland, OR https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560602066 https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2023-02-10/whats-the-matter-with-portland-urban-ills-tests-citys-progressive-strain

Summary: This article talks about how the city of Portland and the police are not doing anything to help the homeless issue which also can have harmful impacts on the people who live downtown whose cars and items are being stolen by homeless people.

key concept: Poverty. the homeless crisis in Portland Oregon is a manifestation of poverty. This also relates to society because as a society we want to be able to fix the homeless issue to fix our community but the government won't help.

I think this can be connected to FFBB because in FFBB migrant workers are working due to their poverty issues in their hometowns in Mexico.

It starts off with the criticism of the former prime minister Mori who "had told a Japanese Olympic Committee meeting that women talked too much.” Moving on the author discusses the traditional perspective of gender roles in Japan. 

“Historically, after World War Two, the combination of a hardworking husband who devotes his life to his company, and a stay-at-home mother, was encouraged,”

Identity is defined as an individual’s perspective of themself and how they are viewed by others. Gender is an ascribed status of identity. In the Japanese culture, gender is used as a means to categorize gender roles. These cultural views have caused women to be domestically constrained. Like in the ethnography Working The Night Shift, women in Japan are not expected to work and rather be a homemaker. ]]> 2023-04-19 18:47:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560606550 Angola https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560607359 https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/04/14/angolan-forces-linked-abuses-against-migrant-women

Angolan Forces are accused of abusing migrants from the neighboring DRC. They deny being guilty of these abuses but their track record of them has been extensively documented. This connects to violence and power, the Angolan Forces use their power and exploit the lack of power the migrants have to abuse them and hurt them. This relates to Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies because both give examples of the type of violence migrants can face and the risks of crossing the border. ]]> 2023-04-19 18:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560607359 Democratic Republic of the Congo https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560607847 Due to the DRCs vast amount of natural resources, the country and many of its workers are often exploited. Cobalt is in high demand, so the workers experience poor working conditions and extremely low pay.

In the neighborhoods of Khartoum, people arer fighting to stay alive, with no resources in this war torn area. This is showing behavioral violence as well as the key concept, power. While symbolic and structural violence are shown in FFBB, behavioral is shown in this article.

These disparities are caused by a lack of attention or belief in Black patients' concerns and maternal healthcare deserts in predominantly Black communities.

This issue connects to inequality & structural violence, Identity, and the struggle for healthcare & disproportionate suffering seen in FBBB.

This article focuses on a few different individuals and their families begin forced to relocate during the Ukraine/Russia war. It takes about their journey as refugees and how they started a new life. They take shelter and build homes in Canada, England, and a few other places. 
This can be connected too Fresh Fruit Broken Bodies. Although they don't share a war, both discuss the process of leaving due to push and pull factors, and trying to find work in a new country. Both follow the issue of Mobility (immigrant/refugee). Additionally, they align with the key concept of power. The Ukrainian refugees left due to violence and a lack of power. Once arriving at their destination, they had to work hard to make a name for themselves. In FFBB, the Mexican workers had less power than the white people born and raised in the US. ]]> 2023-04-19 18:58:00 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560618079 Hebron, NY https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560619999 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-65325064
This article is about the shooting of Kaylin Gillis when her, her boyfriend and other friends accidentally drove into the wrong driveway and received gunshots from the owner of the house, Kevin Monahan. This is an example of behavioral violence because one person was to be blamed for the physical violence committed again Gillis. This tragedy connects to identity because Monahan had a perception of Gillis and her friends and thought that she may have been some sort of threat. Gillis and her friends also had a perception of Monahan's identity that he was dangerous since he started shooting as they were pulling out of the driveway. This shows our perceptions of each other's identity can be wrong or right. This connects to "Working the Night Shift" since one's actual identity and how they are perceived by others can be drastically different.]]> 2023-04-19 18:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560619999 Mexico https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560623028 This article talks about the many recent tragedies that have occured at the US-Mexico border. These deaths could have been prevented by US immigration and border policies and the Mexican government's actions. 

Key concepts: Mobility (it is shown REPEATEDLY that people will immigrate in hopes of better lives (economic, political, etc) despite horrific risks; Human Rights (cruel treatment of immigrants (both through practices and laws)); Violence (structural)

this article demonstrates the opposing power of the government aimed towards removing landless citizens settling in supposedly illegal areas for their own survival, along with local street vendors desperate for money, without providing alternative options for improvement, as documented in the winter of 2022.
 
the oppression shown towards these individuals can be connected to the key concept of culture, as the overall state of living that is shown for these individuals seems to be shared equally between these communities, while the government holds a vastly different culture, with an emphasis on growing this standard through their communities.

I can relate this to what we have read in the book "Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies", as the Triqui community located in Mexico are constantly within the bottom of Mexico's ideal structure, offering no economical prestige to these natives, which in turn influences the need to cross the border in hopes of preserving their families.]]> 2023-04-19 19:06:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560626773 Geneva, Switzerland https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560637966 https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/04/19/proper-pandemic-treaty-would-value-universal-access-over-profit

The World Health Organization is working towards creating a pandemic treaty after some of the systemic failures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over the course of the past three years, vaccine rollout across the world, primarily to many countries in the global south, was slow. During the process of making this agreement, governments and companies that make vaccines have to reach an agreement that keeps the entire world healthy in the event of another pandemic. 

Key Concept: Power. Globalization is definitely at play in this situation. A pandemic is the perfect example of a situation that needs to be solved by the whole world. We no longer live in individual societies, we live in a world that is interconnected and there are problems like disease and climate change that needed to be treated as such.

A woman in Florida named Baileigh Johnson dealt with mental health issues and dealt with the decision of having an abortion in a state with a 6-week abortion ban. The article explains mental health problems occurring with women that become pregnant and what the outcomes are. 
This falls on the lines of Human Rights. It connects to the struggles women have to go through and the individual power they hold. It also supports the key concept of Identity. Becoming pregnant and having a baby is a huge part of a woman’s life. It can create several stereotypes as well as the way people see them. 
This article can connect Working the Night Shift with women’s rights aspects. Having a child can create obstacles in one’s life, along with mental health issues making it difficult to provide for a child and work hours at a time away from them. ]]> 2023-04-19 19:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560640757 Pakistan https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560646204 Summary of text:
In Pakistan, government authorities are forcibly evicting farmers from their land in the city of Lahore. This is a part of the Ravi Riverfront Urban Development Plan that aims to address many of Pakistan's environmental and human rights problems. This eviction is having the opposite effect on farmers as they are not receiving adequate compensation and the Pakistani economy as now food must be shipped at a higher cost from neighboring countries. 
Connection to real-world issue: human rights
This eviction is unconstitutional as the Pakistani constitution ensures “every citizen shall have the right to acquire, hold and dispose of property in any part of Pakistan, subject to the Constitution and any reasonable restrictions imposed by law in the public interest”. Forced evictions violate the human rights to adequate housing, food, water, health, education, work, security of person, freedom from cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, and freedom of movement. 
Connection to key concept: power
In Pakistan, the government has the political power to control the lives of farmers.
Connection to ethnography: FFBB
In FFBB migrant farm workers have limited power due to structural powers of the United States. In Pakistan, farmers have limited power due to political structures. ]]> 2023-04-19 19:27:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560646204 Colorado River https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560646396 Eli
https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/23655640/colorado-river-water-alfalfa-dairy-beef-meat
Big agricultural companies, mostly growing food for beef cattle and dairy cows, some of which are foreign, use up 80% of all water from the colorado river before it gets to civilians. Evidence shows that the most recent extreme drought in the colorado river basin is exhasterbated by big agribusiness. The people living in the colorado river states--Navada, Califronia, New Mexico, Arizona--are disporpritonally non-white, poor, and are seriously affected by the major water crisis going on there.
Globalization: A significant amount of the crops produced in the colorado river area are shipped out of the US and into places like Saudi Arabia. That means that the water and resources are being extracted from the people in the Western US and the actual food that's produced is being sent elsewhere--think Externalization. 
Human Rights: Everyone needs water to live, and access to water is one of the most basic human rights in the world. The people reliant on the colorado river's water are being deprived of this right without much say in where it goes or how its used. Water becomes more expensive and less clean while fields of Saudi-owned alfalfa take up huge amounts of the water in the region.
This connects to FFBB because it shows how globalization can destroy the lives of the least powerful citizens and force them to move or be deprived of basic resources.]]> 2023-04-19 19:28:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560646396 Kansas City, KS https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560649694 https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/18/us/ralph-yarl-shooting-suspect-charges.html
Who: Ralph Yarl, a high school student in Kansas City was shot twice after accidentally ringing the doorbell at the wrong house. 

Real World Issue: Structural Violence and Inequality
Key Concepts: Society and Social Relations
Connection to Ethnography: FFBB

This is a direct example of racism and thus structural violence occurring in Kansas. The young boy did nothing more than a simple, harmless, extremely common act of social relations, ringing someones doorbell. Yet this action rather than resulting in a friendly interaction as it usually does resulted in the shooting of an innocent young man. The shooter who was a white male "was released from police custody last week rather than being charged immediately"(Smith, Bosman) and citizens stated that, " “I have no doubt that if it was a Black homeowner who shot a white kid on his porch, he would have stayed in jail until somebody pressed charges,” she said.". It is clear that this violence was racially driven and thus a result of structural violence in the form of racism. As many have stated it is because of the racism and racist structures in place in Kansas that led to the shooting to occur in the first place but also led to the direct result in the aftermath. While the shooter , a white male, was initially released despite have just murdered an innocent boy, if the roles had been reversed, the same privilege would not have been given and thus this is an example of both structural violence and hence inequality and violence within Kansas. This can be seen through the society within Kansas and specifically the social hierarchy that exists which always favors white individuals at the top. This can be connected to FFBB because structural violence in the form of racism is extremely prevalent on the Tanaka Farms. The white workers are always higher up in the social hierarchy and thus have the best jobs and working conditions while the immigrant farm workers are always at the bottom and have the worst pay and working conditions. This is similar to the issue in Texas because structural violence is having a direct effect on their social hierarchy and thus treatment by others within their society. Therefore inequality is being created between groups of individuals specifically those of different races.
 ]]> 2023-04-19 19:31:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2560649694 New York, USA https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562342819 The US and Canada reached an agreement designed to limit the number of asylum seekers in both countries. The deal meant that Canada could now turn away asylum seekers crossing at illegal crossing points from the US. In turn, Canada will begin a refugee program for 15000 South and central american refugees, which will lessen pressure for illegal crossing on the US-Mexico border.  

This agreement will lessen the mobility of many refugees, significantly limiting the number of asylum seekers able to move into Canada from the US. However, it will also aid the mobility of a small portion of refugees who will be helped directly into Canada from the new refugee program that was part of the deal. It also shows how many migrants there are. The article touches on how both the US and Canada have seen an incredibly large increase in the number of migrants that enter their countries each year, showing how these groups continue to move away from rising instability, violence, and poverty in their countries. ]]> 2023-04-20 19:37:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562342819 Sudan https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562380603 https://www.npr.org/2023/04/19/1170838123/sudan-khartoum-fighting

Civilians in Khartoum, Sudan are currently undergoing violent attacks from the Sudanese military and a "paramilitary" group called the Rapid Support Forces. The streets are too dangerous to go into, as shooting occurs for any citizen seen outside the protection of their homes, and many have become separated from their families. This connects to violence and Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies because this is a representation of political and behavioral violence. The political conflicts in this area have stimulated the fighting between these two groups, and the physical violence of shootings is a representation of behavioral violence. This is similar to the enthnography Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies because the warfare within this country could be compared to the warfare experienced in various areas of Mexico. The Sudan situation is ongoing, but if the violence continues, migration similar to that in Mexico could be necessary for safety and security. ]]> 2023-04-20 20:25:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562380603 Scotland, UK https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562382149 Thousands more Scots living in very deep poverty 
Number of people in Scotland living in deep poverty(40% below median household income) increased by 50% in 25 years. Risk for poverty increases in homes with someone that has a disability or ethnic minority. Anti-poverty charity calls for a minimum income guarantee to cover costs of essentials. 
Connection: FFBB, ethnic minorities more likely to live in deep poverty due to structural violence limiting their opportunities ]]> 2023-04-20 20:28:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562382149 Chagos Islands https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562393871 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64646802

"The UK is committing crimes against humanity after removing people from the Chagos Islands" in the 1960s and 1970s.

"The UK is today committing an appalling colonial crime, treating all Chagossians as a people without rights."

This connects to the way the US exploits migrant workers, treating them as though they don't have human rights. This also connects to the key concept of power, as the US and the UK hold influence over the minority groups they are targeting.

This story connects to FFBB as in both cases girls are receiving less education than boys for similar reasons such as families not being able to pay for it or only being able to pay for it for boys. This is an example of inequality among genders which is also seen some in FFBB when it is stated that men are the only ones who can get jobs above their hierarchical status and somewhat in LCC, and WTNS where girls are treated unequally compared to guys, but in different ways than in the article. This can connect to both identity and power as the girls aren't getting a good education because of their identity and can connect to power because keeping the girl uneducated is a way to keep power over them as they have to work worse jobs for less money and don't have the knowledge to fight back against larger structures. ]]> 2023-04-20 20:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562395180 Social inequities reflected in wait times: The poor wait longer https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562400664 3.

The article Social inequities reflected in wait times: The poor wait longer talks about the inequality of waiting services where Black Americans and lower-income Americans wait longer whether in grocery store lines or in a hospital waiting room, etc. This inequity can result in worsening health conditions and/or the ability to complete an important task. This article also goes on to talk about how income does not necessarily provide advantages in waiting conditions as “high-income Black people experience the same higher average wait times as low-income people regardless of race.”

Additionally, this article is backed up by the article Nature Human Behaviour co-authored by Stephen Holt, an associate professor of public administration and policy at Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy, which makes it a credible source. In addition to Holt's contribution, co-author Katie Vinopal, an associate professor at Ohio State University's John Glenn College of Public Affairs, also contributes to this source.

Although this article is based in Albany, NY, there is no doubt minority groups in America experience this inequality in other places. In fact, this is only one of several injustices minority groups in America experience. This article also touches on social injustices such as racism and gender inequality.

This article is a good source that connects to many world issues such as economic, social, and gender inequality, as well as racism and segregation. It also connects to the key concept of power as people have power over resources and choose whether or not to assist those in need of those resources. Additionally, power can also be seen in this article as there is a wide mention of inequalities between members of social groups, assuming that it also connects to the social structure that has been established in our society today.

Furthermore, this article connects to both the Learning Capitalist Culture and Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies ethnographies as it talks about inequality due to identity such as race. It also connects more to Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies because of limited access to resources such as salary and income.

It additionally details the many forms of violence the migrants are experiencing, discussing an uptick in race-related incidents.

Key Concept: This relates to mobility, which refers to the socio-cultural processes surrounding movement. Many of these refugees are from Syria, fleeing direct violence. However, in Greece, they are experiencing structural and symbolic violence in the form of racism. Greek authorities treat these refugees as lesser, offering them asylum but forcing them to remain in poor living conditions.

Connection: This article and the event it summarizes is most similar to FFBB. Like the Mexican migrants, these Syrian migrants left their homes in hope of improving their lives. However, the reality is the receiving country is far from perfect, and the migrants continue to experience violence. ]]> 2023-04-20 21:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562417673 United States https://padlet.com/bryan_lurie/fq0udql0g806wzor/wish/2562421460 This article discusses a rise in antisemitic incidents in the US since the coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, antisemitism rose to a high, accompanying a rise in white supremacist views and propaganda.

Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992), invoked a landmark shift in women’s health that Boston University School of Public Health professor Julia Raifman calls “structural violence.”
When abortion is considered a human right, as Raifman thinks it is, the decision to restrict access to it — which is happening in at least 19 states in the wake of the decision — becomes a structurally violent one. 

This is impacting women's agency.

Students either migrate north to the US or stay home out of fear from violence. People are also dealing with displacement and poverty due to the hurricanes in November 2020. 

The gang violence in Honduras only increases existing inequalities in the country that cause many families to live in poverty and force others to migrate out of the country.
