Modern Slavery

I began my research about the history of mcdonalds and how to run a store, but i came up with nothing. Instead, i then thought about doing my research on affirmative action, or gambling, but wasn't really interested in either. i ended up with modern slavery, so for the remainder of the year, most of my entries will be about modern slavery.

"Roughly twice the population of Rhode Island are being held against their will as modern day slaves." Most people think that there is no such thing as modern slavery and try to convince themselves that it doesn't exist by referring to it as a low paying job, or inhumane working conditions. Some of the places that harbor modern slaves are Haiti, Sudan, India, and Southern Pakistan. Many children in Africa are sold into industries including domestic, agricultural, and sex industries where they are exploited. Southern Sudan has some of the worst slavery in the modern day, where Arabs from the north kill the men and enslave the women and children, and it's considered a tradition there. In India, children are taken from their homes and forced to weave on looms for food and their sleeping conditions are horrible. In Pakistan slaves are much like indentured servants, but they are forced into servitude if they can't repay their debts. The Dominican army is sent to raid public places to get people harvest sugar cane when there's not enough laborers. Slavery isn't over. It's all around the world and worse than ever.
