"Is it not true that the nation state and state sovereignty will be with us for some time? But in what form?" (Forsythe, 2006, 26) State sovereignty will be a universal application for many years to come despite globalization in all its subsequent public and private forms.
Much of the literature on globalization has overlooked the effect of globalization on the state; globalization has produced a new "globalized state" -- changing rather than eroding sovereignty (Ian Clark 1999). As some scholars have argued, power is moving from weak states to strong states, from all states to markets, and away from state authority entirely in certain domains and functions (Strange 1998; Schmidt 2000). At the same time, the state is the main administrator of globalization. As one partisan of globalization puts it, globalization means that the quality of the state matters more, since the state is "the operating system for global capitalism" (Friedman 1999: 134). Thus, the struggle for human rights in a global era is now from above, from below -- and still through the middle. (Brysk, 2002, 9)
The state will likely be expected to live a more transparent existence and to uphold standards of universal human rights, especially as more and more nations accept such virtues as necessary for global human collaboration. Yet the limitations of enforcement will likely continue, unchecked as the world continues to develop definitions and debates of the needs and standards of universal challenges of nation building.

As a result, many citizens continue suffering by losing business opportunities due to insecurity. They develop ineffective policies, implement them, and when they fail, blame it on local authorities. Therefore, the crime rate continues to go higher and the government remains quiet about offering long-term solutions to such problems (Griffin 110-111).

When the human rights related to HIV / AIDS are not respected, the vulnerability of the infection and spread of HIV increases and effective response to the epidemic is impeded. It is important to integrate a human rights approach when dealing with HIV / AIDS because once there rights are protected and promoted, vulnerability reduces, response to the epidemic is enhanced, and discrimination against infected individuals is discouraged.

Education is sorely lacking in my country, and this degree would be a major step forward in my quest to change this situation. I cannot pretend that all of my motives are purely altruistic; I am, of course, attracted to the financial security that this degree and subsequent degrees would help me attain. In addition, I have a family of my own that requires both my financial and moral support.
