 In ways it does, just not as bad as it use to be so it is not considered slavery, but the workers feel like it is!

 True, old fashioned, buying and selling people in markets sort of slavery still exists in one place. The Sudan. American television correspondents proved that fact by travelling to Africa and buying a pair of slaves.

Then of course there is the manner in which women are viewed in many Islamic countries. They are considered merely property, pure and simple.

 Well this is a strong topic and I would say it sure does still exist. Some people have made it as their life style. They like being put under the wip. They like being punished for breaking rules. None the less they like having rules. They make oaths that they are supposed to live by at all cost. I am not for this but other people are. No one can tell someone how they can live weather or not you like it.

 It's a sad fact that people are still willing to profit from slavery. There is a lot more subtle forms around now days - recently there have been cases where one party claim to own a person economically - this is still slavery.

 Well as slavery is more common in other countries , its not as common in the US
BUT there have been some cases of people hoding slaves in there house.
A few weeks ago on the news a rich couple kept housekeepers - that were treated as slaves. So its not 100% out of the US sadly

 If you watch the movie Human Trafficking it will tell you that the US is one of the main places for human trafficking. I always thought that it would be overseas somewhere. The movie is a very good interesting but sad story. There is also still slavery going on other than the sex slavery. I have read in plenty of books that there is people being brought over illegally and forced into slavery with threats. I kind of think that some foster homes get children and use them as a form of cheap labor (slavery). I have seen that with my own eyes.

 Especially in third world countries and those that involve themselves with human trafficking, it exists.

 Slavery does not exist. No one is getting beaten to work for nothing.

 No. I do not believe that slavery exists today. No one owns another person or sells it. If one person works for another, they receive a wage and have the freedom to leave that job at will, should they chose to. There may be an attempt of some to do human traffic in certain countries, but that does not make it legal or accepted. As for the people who submit themselves to such things, they have a choice not to.

 We are all human-being. We should not be judged on where we come from, how we live, or the income we bring home. Slavery isn't the way to solve anything. Things are getting worse everyday we should not be putting people down we should be helping to up lift. We gone need each other one day and there won't be any one around to help you so we need to find better ways of dealing with life and not killing others for it.
