Slavery is a practice which started with the earlier civilizations and which continued being practiced during the Middle Age. However, this slavery raised in the third world with the globalization of the multinationals as inditext, nike, addidad, cocacola... A rising without brakes.<br /><br />So what can we do? Should we think it as an ancient tradition? Obviously no. It's a fact against the humans rights which enrich the richest and impoverishes the most poor. The future is in our hands, in the hands of society. Instead, slavery is held by four business.<br /><br />In my opinion I think there should be a boycott and companies should show transparency. Otherwise, we should start thinking more revolutionary measures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060272381988451705.post-26731742295108626402013-05-24T16:45:27.908+02:002013-05-24T16:45:27.908+02:00Nowadays it is incredible that slavery continue ex...Nowadays it is incredible that slavery continue exists and this is something that the humans should be avoid because of we have created this and therefore we must be unit for try to dissapear and the children, who are slaves,out of the work and cant study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060272381988451705.post-90682823449965929382013-05-23T22:41:18.218+02:002013-05-23T22:41:18.218+02:00Is detestable that the companies exploit people, b...Is detestable that the companies exploit people, but is worse that people, who know the situation, carry on buying that products.

That's because slavery is a reality in many of the third world countries, but people in developed countries don't care about that and they continue buying them. Really, it's the best way of production for the big companies, because they have to pay a very low salary and they get a lot of money for that product made by "their slaves". This situation is known by the different governments, but they don't do anything, maybe because they have been bribed by these big companies. <br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060272381988451705.post-35531100500535142712013-05-18T17:40:46.804+02:002013-05-18T17:40:46.804+02:00Slavery is a big and very bad problem in our world...Slavery is a big and very bad problem in our world.

Unfortunately our society is like this: people only think of themselves.

In fact, it could be understood as the motor of our capitalist economic system. What most of the people take into account when they have to buy something is not only the price, but also the quality of the product. And that’s normal, especially at this economic crisis context. Companies know it very well and they look for the cheapest manpower, which is the slavery we are talking about. Although I am totally against it, I can’t criticize slavery because I dress some brands that are well-known for its slavery policy during the production.

Certainly, these poor people's situation is totally unfair, but many brands (brands which we know) don't seem to care about this problem. In order to solve it, we should find out which products have been made using slavery and try not to buy them. Although this may be a solution, it's probably too difficult to achieve, so I believe that putting an end to slavery will be a long and hard process. Nevertheless, we shouldn't give up.
