Slavery in modern Africa

I am writing this letter to express my deep problem with sweatshops in Africa. I would like the United Nations to send supplies and funds to the underdeveloped countries of africa to dissolve sweat shops. Ethiopia is one of the most sweatshop populated country in africa. This quote from Chris Blattman shows why big cooperation go into undeveloped countries to have them do their dirty work they would rather not do “In the past several decades, manufacturing jobs have fled the developed world…

In Chapter Seven of Disposable People, Richard Bales outline three main reasons why modern slavery has flourished including overpopulation, economic globalization, corruption. For each of these reasons, Bales outlines several tactics for combating human trafficking. In relation to overpopulation, Bales writes that, “The best contraceptives in the world--education and social protection against poverty in old age and illness--are also the best guard against enslavement.” Therefore, educating and…

in the U.S. police force as well as the protests and even race riots that resulted from it. Most Americans seem to think of the United States of a modern country where equality and justice prevail; a city upon a hill, so to speak. I know that most Americans probably wouldn’t liken America to South Africa under Apartheid laws or even modern South Africa, but the events described in “It’s Quiet Now” weren’t all too different than what’s happening here.

As we have learned throughout this course, the treatment that slaves received was cruel. Slavery was extremely common in early history, and can be compared and contrasted with different cultures. Spain had control over the Native American slaves; many were brought into slavery through war.…

unwanted reality is what makes modern slavery the awful crime it is today. Even if we want to do something about it, one can’t help but feel helpless because knowing where to start can seem challenging enough. That’s where we as the human race come in to help. We all need to do our part in speaking up, inform ourselves, increase involvement in the community, and become aware that slavery is very much alive and there are in fact methods of reducing and stopping slavery.

Americans think of slavery, they consider it to be an open and shut experience; something that they understand fully and believe to be done with. However, slavery is an issue that is more widespread and long running than most people know. Slavery is largely considered to be a “white” issue; something constrained to European nations, perpetrated by European people.
