Slavery a thing of the past? No! It's still very real. It has taken over 27million
people. This is still a small number compared to the past, but it needs to be abolished for good! An example of modern day slavery is how illegal imagrants are treated. They come here trying to male a Better life for their famliy or themsleves. Then they try to get jobs and the only ones they can find are jobs that require lots of physical endurance. Basically all the jobs that all the Americans don't want because they are to lazy to do amything besides eat at "da mickey D's". (Hooray for stereotypes?!) Well to top off the modernday slavery all of the workers get paid below minimum wage and work in bad conditions.
Can you see how the resemblance between the slaves of the past and the "slaves" of modern day?They both have below standards work conditions, work for litle to no money, and they are all being segragates against.
I understand what your saying but can they really be considered slaves. They are paid after all unlike a regular slave. They also make a decision to come to America knowing completely what they are in for and what jobs they are going to end up getting. they don't smuggle themselves into America and think they are going to become the CEO of a major company, they come and expect the jobs they get. They put them in these situations so can they be conisedered slaves. Don't get me wrong I dont' agree with the treatment of immigrants but you have to look at it fully its their choice.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Clark (not Devin :)) She doesn't know what shes saying. Just playing, but you do make a strong point and I agree of how bad immigrants are treated. The fact that they pay them less in the condition they work in is just wrong.
