Is slavery completey dead???

Sooooooo.... My opinion is that slavery has not be completely abolished everywhere in the world. It's really sad after all this time that we still haven't learned our lesson to treat others how we want to be treated. No one wants to be enslaved and no one has the right to enslave anyone else. No matter how superior people think they are over other people, nothing gives them the right to demean and strip the rights of any human being. Even though special documents like the Declaration of Independence don't exist in all countries and it only protects the rights of Americans,I think every place in the world should have a document that promises every human being apart at least this one unalienable right: FREEDOM! Slavery I know is still alive because there's always going to be a group of people that feel superior over another. This is the reason slavery will never die, because people will never see all other people equal to themselves. I think in many impoverished countries and places where the government has much control over their citizens' lives is where slavery continues. The citizens are unable to organize and rise up against "The Man" (whoever the higher authority may be). Or the citizens just don't know how to escape this confinement.

  1. I think you meant the constitution not the declaration of independence... anyway i like that you seem realistic in that you said slavery might never end because there will always be people who don't see it as wrong. I agree with you on this.
