I believe that modern day slavery is cruel treatment. It is a wrong and shameful act. When people think slavery they automatically think the African Americans that were taken from their homes and forced to work for white families on plantations. When asked does slavery still exist, some might be questionable. The answer is yes. I define slavery as the act of a person forcing another to do work against their will. Some foreign countries today still practice slavery.
Most modern day slaves are under debt bondage or an arrangement whereby a person is forced to pay off a loan with direct labor in place of currency, over an agreed or obscure period of time. This is usually the reason why young women and children enter the world of slavery. Asian and African countries still hold slaves. Children work in factories earning a minimum wage. Human trafficking is another form of modern day slavery. It is the illegal trade of humans for forced labor or for sexual purposes. Prostitution is the primary industry in human trafficking.
In conclusion, any form of slavery, whether it is from the past or present is malicious and self-righteous. One just wants to feel superior to those below them. And those who are the victims of slavery should be able to express what they want.
