Modern Slavery
Slavery. When you think of it, what comes to mind? My guess is back in 1800s in the South right? They were working on plantations, picking cotton and was abolished after a huge war (The Civil War). You must also be thinking that it is 2010, there is no more slavery going on with all the equal rights laws. Well I have some news for you and you are WRONG.
There is still a ton of slavery out in the world. Just because it is no seen here (because it is illegal), but there are plenty of countries were it still goes on and it’s a huge problem. Some of our everyday items are products of slave labor. It is very unfortunate that such a horrible, cruel thing still exists and it does.
But don’t get to upset, there are humanitarian groups out there trying to end it, but that will take years and years to do. But it’s a start right? And everyone can help by not being ignorant. And that is the key!
