Slaves in Modern time
This week I watched TED(How to combat modern slavery -Kevin Bales) about modern slavery. In that movie the Kevin said that there are millions of slaves in the world today. Actually there are a lot of people who have been exploited by employee like slave today. Kevin said that modern slavery is economic crime and it must be disappeared.
Then what is Modern Slavery? Modern slavery refers to the institutions of slavery that continue to exist in the present day. Estimates of the number of slaves today range from around 2 million. Modern slaves can be an attractive because slave holders just need to pay for sustenance and enforcement.
I like Nike's sports brand like clothes, sports bag and shoes. Some time I heard that there are many children who have been exploited in Nike's factory. They have overworked and gotten a little wage. Nike's clothes and shoes are not very cheap but quite expensive. Although price is quite high, the children in factory can get a little wage. Also I like to drink coffee. Workers in african coffee farms have also been exploited. Although a cup of coffee's price is quite high (Franchise cafes sell americano at \4000), it's cost price is very cheap and price that return to coffee farm workers is cheaper than cost price.
It is wrong that people who enough worked can't get proper wage. Thus we should think about them when before buy something and make an effort to disappear modern slavery.
