According to Index Mundi (2018) Qatar had been involved in boundaries disputes, largely over maritime spaces. According to the same source, low-skilled labor trafficking had witnessed foreign migrants’ worker abuse, “confiscation of passports,” and hazardous squalor of living (“Qatar,” 2018). As a result, Qatar earned a ‘Tier 2 Watch List’ rating (CIA Factbook, Qatar), which means it is not fully in compliance with international anti-trafficking protocols, and has failed to strictly commit to take action against it. But, Qatar is not the worst, avoiding being hit with sanctions like some other countries. The capital seat of Qatar’s governance is Doha. Its legal, political structure embodies a combination of Islamic and civil law; the latter is mostly based upon codifications and legislation (“Qatar,” 2018). The key infrastructure allows for seaports, pipelines, and airports as the main modes of transport for goods; however, according to the same source, the weather has negatively impacted agriculture due to lack of …show more content…

Ottsen and Berntsen (2014) assert clear segregation of men and women exists in the society. Black American professional women, working as analysts in commerce and healthcare settings, described experiences in which office and lunch areas had areas for women in separate sections. However, one of the Black women, Veronica—a high-level IT analyst—in the KMATiKC (2016) documentary film said she is required to work with the men in their gendered-area, due to her status as analyst. However, Veronica quickly added that she had to eat lunch at the separate women’s table. Ottsen et al.

    The same is true for African American individuals in the work force. The workforce claims to give everyone a fair and equal hand, but often times African Americans are given the short end of the stick. This lack of opportunity leads me to question the structural conditions that have created cultural patterns that reinforce disadvantage. The structural issues of inequality in the workforce lead many individuals to have a stigma towards African American individuals. This stigma taint’s society’s view towards this group and allows them to make judgements on other aspects of their lives.

  • Fifth Black Women Race Theory

This could possibly break the barriers of gender and race discrimination at work that cause hurt and misunderstandings. Because of the many personal and socio-demographic portrayals of Black women, they are marginalized in many work institutions and encounter loss of work promotions, wage increases, and proper work evaluations. In “The Fifth Black Woman,” the hypothetical story of Mary examines this very instance of performative conception of race and identity intersectionality.

The problem was not that the text on multicultural counseling failed to address me as an ‘ethnic’ minority or that my position was lost between the black and white, but rather, why we need to identify our selves on the basis of our ‘race’ or colour?. As I thought about my own childhood and origin, I realise that I was brought up with strong humanistic values, by both rational parents that were not ‘religious’.
