I thought this lecture by Professor Fischler was very informative and things we need to consider while teaching about Asia (and other places as well). I thought her question to us about the link between international adoption and human trafficking was an interesting perspective to consider, as were the juxtaposition of the two definitions of trafficking that she gave us. I did not realize that organized crime was not transnational until the 1970's or that many in China and Japan blame the loss of traditional values on the youth, or that they often now have increasingly western views of beauty. I particularly liked the discussion of websites and their validity as well.
