Civilization at Risk

Author: Ron Petitte
Publishing date: 2016
The evil that permeates sex trafficking is not going to stop; but, it can be discouraged and abated and people's lives spared the incalculable damage such evil inflicts.

Playing on the popular vision of the South as an ill region on several levels, the European and American contributors interpret various aspects of the regional "sickly" culture as not so much southern "problems", but, rather, southern opportunities, or else, springboards to yet another of the South's cultural revitalizations, "health".As Thomas AErvold Bjerre and Beata Zawadka note in their introduction, the so-called "Healthy South" has never been an easy topic for scholars dealing with the region. One reason for this is that researchers have been taught to approach so formulated a topic no further than to the point when it turns
