Global Slavery

Over the course of the semester, I will explore different forms of slavery that are still in place during the 21st century. I chose this topic because there needs to be more dialogue about slavery that can educate people who may not know it still exists. Slavery can be seen through human trafficking, child labor and prison systems. Many people today do not realize that even though "slavery was abolished" it still exists and hits closer to home than you may think.

Slavery relates to the themes of this class because it occurs worldwide, and no one is completely safe from its impact. Throughout this semester I want to become more educated on slavery worldwide because it is not prevalent in the American media. I want to be able to find out the truth and what is actually happening.
