Slavery In Today's Society

In US History I always seem to speculate about the issues on slavery and natural rights during our time of discussion. Many times I pondered on slavery and how people could be so cruel. The discussions we had made you think about the past, present, and future. I even thought about how many individuals' rights were violated and the kindness and compassion these people lacked. Are there slaves in different countries today?

There are many stories that state that slavery still occurs in today's world. For example, Miloslav Cermak, general manager at Snezka had eighty-two of seven hundred and fifty employees that were North Korean working for him. Policemen and many others felt that this was "state-imposed forced labor". Each Korean is being paid the right amount or "common salary for new employees". Is this situation justifiable or necessary?

No it is not. In addition, Dred Scott, an African-American slave who lived in the free state of Illinois and the free territory of Wisconsin's owner passed away and no more wages were given to Scott. Dred Scott appealed to the Supreme Court hoping he would be remitted his freedom. During this time slaves are not citizens of the United States. This situation of not being citizens sounds alot like illegal immigrants not being equal to "Americans" and not having natural rights.

Another issue is the Caribbean. Outlawed slavery practice continued for almost fifty years on some of the islands. Cruelty is still occurring and will always occur if nothing is being done. A Swedish woman was held captive for nine years suffering from multiple sclerosis in a small cabin in South-Central Sweden by a man . Clearly this man lacked kindness and compassion in his heart.

Finally, many people had their natural rights violated and there were illegal immigrants and slaves doing labor. America is not the only country that has or had slaves. Hopefully, brutality and inconsiderate situations come to an end. Overall, I feel that the United States as well as other countries could have handled everything differently during these rough times.
