Modern Day Slavery Research Paper

After many years, slavery is still a big problem to our society and keeps increasing each day. In some ways today slavery is different from the past but at the end it's the same thing, slavery. One of the main reasons why people get to join slavery is poverty. People in need of money get offered a job but don’t expect to be enslaved. Another reason is corruption by the police and the government trying to profit from slavery. There are many root causes for modern day slavery in which we are capable of ending it. We all know that slavery still exists because money and products are being produced for less money. Some products such as drugs, clothing and jewelry are few of the most common materials that slaves are able to produce a lot of money. Drugs is
probably the most famous one because it comes all over the news. The other one, clothing, is a material that costs a small amount of money but it sells for more money. The last material is jewelry or valuable resources that slaves are being put to hard work to find theses resources. Today there are many countries with high percentage of people in bondage or enslaved. For example China with 2.9 million people, Pakistan ranked third with 2.1 million and first in the ranking is Mauritania and Haiti with 4% of their overall population. Throughout the years there has been many anti-slavery movements that brought the world to realize the significance of slavery. Even though the government have laws against slavery, these laws are not strict enough. When a slave is set free money has to be spent in order to help them on their new life. A probable solution may be to create a fundraiser for money to help free slaves and give them a head start on their new life.
I also believe that the government should get more involved so it won’t get worse and repeat some mistakes we made in the past. People have been creating anti-slavery movements and volunteering to protest and create a change. For example, National Human Trafficking Resource Center is a place to help report potential human trafficking activity. These is just one of few groups that are against modern slavery but still we all know that slavery is still a big problem. Modern day slavery such as drugs industry, clothing and jewelry are few of many types of slavery that our society still don't realize how big of a problem it is. I believe that if the government makes it priority to stop modern day slavery, these problem won’t keep getting worse. The problem for the government to support anti-slavery is money and other minor issues. The one thing that worries many people is that we will make the same mistakes we made in the past. Thats why its important for our our country to educate children of our errors made in the past as a whole
nation.
