Overall View & Opinion
- For my personal overall view and opinion, slavery was one of the most difficult things that happened in the past and in the present. Slavery has been around for a long time and still hasn't been abolished around the world. Children from the ages of 12 and 14 are being trafficked around the world to "work" for no pay. Usually, the people who are targeted are poor and have no money to support their families. An example is that if someone doesn't have money and no place to live, they will usually get lured by a stranger and work for them to have a place to live and something to eat to strive and move on in life. Slavery hasn't been abolished all over the world, but we can help prevent it by supporting and caring for poorer people who are struggling for a piece of bread, a pair of shoes, to have a smile, we can all change that if we all try.
