Comment on The Disciplined Undiscipline of Global Studies by J. Todd Nesbitt

I must say that I am in full agreement with Anon’s comment above. What I see explained here as global studies is already encompassed within the discipline of geography. It seems that the rise in global studies has resulted, in part, from a fundamental misunderstanding and/or oversight that geography is the most holistic and interdisciplinary academic subject on any university campus. Geographers have a long tradition of critically investigating all of the topics and themes addressed within global studies. While I am glad to see global studies advocates recognize the importance of multi-scaled analyses that that examine the dialectical relationship between human and physical systems, it is worth noting that to geographers this is nothing new.

No doubt some of these girls are in the slave trade and cannot get free. The goverment there needs to do something and make sure this is freewill and not forced otherwise it is just a horror camp with pimps getting all the money. I say go for the pimps who are acting like criminals.

You have to look at the brighter side of things. Social contacts in a foreign country don’t come easy. It is based on time, trust and a moulding relationship.

We are what we are… If sex tourism didn’t exist , lebanon wouldn’t be on the map as a touristic country, we have a beautiful country, beautiful weather, and also beautiful women. The Gulf come here to enjoy, and we curtail to their needs, if this article is supposed to make Khaleeji’s feel less of themselves, then a dire mistake happened, most lebanese girls/women work in that field because its the easiest way to make a buck, and they have fun in the process of being courted as well.. i used the word courted, because most of the ppl that do take those girls have the sense to take them to clubs, pubs, etc. Never the less if lebanon doesn’t provide it, egypt will, jordan will, cyprus, etc.. so why not lebanon, The root of the problems is us and our mindset of allowing ourselves to stoop to such a lvl and work in such a field, they truly have nothing to do with it.

Comment on Tourism, Sex, and Beirut by Malaysia

I am from Asian country and my first time visit to Beirut…suprise me. I always think Lebonan as one of Arab country and very conservative. But my finding is wrong. I love Beirut even since my first trip I went there for other 4 more times. Yes, I agree Lebanese people are friendly but they are bias. The woman because most of them is beauty (either nature or through surgery) they kind of look down on people with average looking. And if the woman is having a darker skin complexion and from Asian they straight away thought she is Philipines. And this Philipines girl most of them work as house maid. But for the male they think she is easy woman and have not respect on this woman. They can call you on the street and start asking …”how much your service per night”.

Maybe some of this Philipines woman they do extra job for income but you can not just associate all of the woman like that. This is the scene I was so upset about and mad during my stay. As the first trip I visited all tourist attraction area I do not encounter this. But on my 2-4 visit, as I exploring more Lebonan country, I am dissapointed. I am not only talking about the street people that I meet behave like this, even the Imegresen at Airport. They treat me BAD. Asking me from the quenu line move to line to quenu. Before the open and stamp the chop, they start asking “Philipina?” But I am from Malaysia and is Chinese. Then again they thought I am from Mainland China when you told them you are Chinese. I aksed why I been treated this way, they reply majority Philipines or China girl do PRO…OMG!!!
