The authors are concerning the increase the number of human trafficking with approximately twenty-seven million people in bondage. In fact, more than twice as many people are in bondage in the world today than were taken from Africa during the entire 350 years of the Atlantic slave trade. And it is also one of most third profitable criminal of all the time in humanity’s history; after dealing drug and weapons. This is the reason why Bales and Soodalter say today’s slavery is the serious crime that all people should be aware of. I was shocked. You know that moment when you read something but you have to reread it because you can’t even imagine that is true? It happened to me when I read chapter 1 of SND. The numbers of human trafficking were incredible, we are talking about twenty-seven million people who are in slave in all over the world, people who cannot walk away, people who

As Dana soon discovers, the reality of slavery is even more disturbing than its portrayal in books, movies, and television programs. Before her journey into the past, Dana called the temp agency where she worked a "slave market," even though "the people who ran it couldn't have cared less whether or not you showed up to do the work they offered."

Dana realizes pretty quickly that the handwork, rape and brutal punishments that slaves face are far worse than anything she could

They would have bets of challenges with one of their enslaved people and say if the slave was to win they would be a free man. These challenges would be unappealing and cause some sort of discomfort until it got to the point where the enslaved person would deny the challenge and shun the idea of

The treatment slaves had to involuntarily endure

Starting from a slave’s birth, this cruel process leads to a continuous cycle of abuse, neglect, and inhumane treatment. To some extent, slave holders succeed because they keep most slaves so concerned with survival that they have no time or energy to consider freedom. This is particularly true for plantation slaves where the conditions of slave life are the most difficult and challenging. However, slave holders fail to realize the damage they inadvertently inflict on themselves by upholding slavery and enforcing these austere laws and attitudes.

kin group might wish to simply marry the acquired girl off in the normal way and receive bridewealth for her” (Kpoyoff) A woman slave can somewhat be compared to the practice that was followed in early history when women were given off to be married. They hold most of the same principles and rules, and most of the times

The discussion with the slave, as it has been pointed out, recalls the discussion between

Through the course of history, whenever people hear the word “slaves”, they imagine a long period of hate,torture, ignorance, and cruelty. The term slaves mostly refers to the group of people that today are know as Africans. During these harsh times some slaves kept the detailed memories of their daily suffering and later told them to help create their narratives. In the Classic Slave Narratives the hardships of four slaves who today we remember as Mary Prince, Frederick Douglass, Gustavus Vassa, and last but not least Harriet Jacobs, are descriptively told. Experiences varied based on where the slave was located or their gender. Slaves would be treated as objects, rather than human beings, they were someone’s possession. In The Classic Slave

The atrocities of slavery know no bounds. Its devices leave lives ruined families pulled apart and countless people dead. Yet many looked away or accepted it as a necessary part of society, even claiming it was beneficial to all. The only way this logic works is if the slaves are seen as less than human, people who cannot be trusted to take care of themselves. In Toni Morrison’s Beloved the consequences of a lifetime of slavery are examined. Paul D and seethe, two former slaves have experienced the worst slavery has to offer. Under their original master, Mr. Garner the slaves were treated like humans. They were encouraged to think for themselves and make their own decisions. However, upon the death of Mr. Garner all of that changes. Under

“The slaver, bringing up the rear, came forward with his lash. At-mun cringed as he felt it,

Society’s systematic dehumanization of slaves claims that their lives are not their own, but rather belong to their oppressors. For instance, Jacobs’s cousin Benjamin decides to escape from his masters who equate him and his people to “dogs, […] foot-balls, cattle, [and] everything that [is] mean” and taunts them by saying, “Let them bring me back. We don’t die but once” (27). By metaphorically comparing slaves to dogs and pieces of property, he reveals how little slave owners care about their charges. Rather than remaining under the control of such oppression, Benjamin decides to live and die on his own terms at the risk of capture and punishment, because

My first observation of these people is that they do not care for the value of riches. They disregard precious metals of what we constantly fight over, and instead, discard them to

I watched him as he walked home, I watched him as he talked to his friends in such a polite manner, but I also watched as the girl who confessed to him just yesterday was gasping for air as her warm blood drained from her neck, almost like water pouring out of a running faucet.. oh, was that a bit too weird? I'm sure it'll be better if I explained a little.. I just have a really bad habit of hurting people when they try to come between me and the one I love.. Now, Back to crazy!
