Modern slavery Taejoon You 유태준

Modern slavery - Tae joon You 유태준


 INTRO

 At lecture i saw a short TED video. At this vid, the professor explained  there are a lot of slaves even in this modern society. This is hard to understand at the first time but after listening to his explanation i totally understood what is happening. It is unjust and demoral to overlook slavery. This is the most inhumane thing. It violates the fundamental human rights. He insisted that we should not overlook this phenomenon. This happens because of stratification of wealth. The people who became slave didn't realize they are going to be a slave at the first time. they need money so they are trying to get a job to feed their family. They can easily ripped off by fraud who is slave owner but disguised as a job giver. This problem can be solved only if we focus and participate on this phenomenon.

MY OPINION

 I think the definition of slavery is people who work hard but don't get reasonable reward. As using this definition i can say that there is a slavery in korea too. This phenomenon is called
"PASSION PAY"  This is done by many big companies and broadcasting comapanies. They use college students for their comapany but they don't give them enough pay. Because they think they gave students opportunity to work at dream job. This is called Passion pay. they think they got passion as a reward. This is big problem which is very similar to slavery. capital class is exploiting weak class(students who want to get a job). This problem has to be solved.

  1. I agree your opinion. Passion pay is a very interesting example of modern slavery. Because worker can't get proper wage, passion pay is similar to modern slavery I think.
