  2. Groups

  3. Discuss • Now that you are in your groups I want you to discuss the following. • What is a slave? • What does it mean to be in slavery? • Do you think slavery still exists? • Why or why not? • Write these answers down.

  4. What is a modern day slave? • Slaves are not paid or compensated in other forms for their work. • Slaves are held against their will by physical and psychological violence or threat of violence. • Slaves are separated from the support of friends and family. • Slaves are portrayed as inferior to the slaveholder as justification for abusive treatment. • Slaves are subjected to unreasonably long work hours, as well as dangerous and often unsanitary conditions. • Slaves live with substandard food, shelter, and medical care and without a viable means of escape. • Slaves are deprived of educational and other opportunities and are therefore prevented from achieving full • development as human beings.

  5. Universal Declaration of Human Rights • This is a manifesto created in 1948 following the horrific human conditions people had suffered during WWII. • The General Assembly of the UN feels very strongly about this document, and like most the definitions and meanings it carries can become very political. Inside your packet your will find a copy of the UDOHR. • You will read different scenarios that could possibly be considered for modern day slavery. Go through this document, look at your groups definition of slavery and come up with a decision for each scenario.
