Moral Values
By Fidel Franco
On this book the tail is about a girl that suffers as being a slave and the worst part is that she didn't even know she has a slave. Linda Brent saw a lot of things while being with Dr. Flint, there for she came to a conclusion that¨ slavery deadens the moral sense of all involved¨. Now I'm not sure if the slaveholders moral was deaden since at that time that was the correct way to act, or I think what she means when she uses the word involved she means the people who are slaves. In any case she thinks that this is a non motivation for people that are in that situation.
In my opinion I think that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Sometimes we get more courage and its like a step forward for people to change things. For example in the article about ¨The Struggles of Women Industrial Workers to Improve Work Conditions in the Progressive Era¨ you can see that women where slaves but with a salary, they had really bad working condition and where underpaid about 25 to 67 percent more than men, but that didn't lower down their moral sense it was mostly the opposite, women had to fight for their right no matter what colour or country they where.

Yes. Did they have any morals at all? That's also a yes. Now did slavery deaden the moral sense of all involved? I don't think so. Why? because if you look at the characters in this book. They did what they though was right at that time. And if you look at the definition of moral is basically the judgment of the goodness or badness of human action and character. This was a moment of changes in society, so morals change also slaves where doing what they though was the good thing to do and slaveholder did the same also. Now they where not on they same page but who is who to say what is good and what is bad. Society is mostly the judge on this one but as things change societies
