TASK

FREEDOM FROM SLAVERY


The freedom of slavery is the most important right from my point of view. I consider it important because no one can own the life of another human, and we all have the right to freedom.

Slavery for me not only includes the most archaic way, but also slaves of the XXI century, the prostitutes. Prostitution is the most "modern" form of slavery and also one of the most demeaning. The most striking thing is that Western people participate in these activities claiming women services with full awareness that these are being exploited.

A human should be able to have power in their own live and to fulfill himself. Must be free and feel valued and listened the same time he/she must be a social man/woman. No one should be ignored and mistreated because a human being is a social being and breaking this condition he/she would be completely annulled.


Watch the VIDEO of the human right you choose.  Make a list of new words you hear, if any. Think of an example where this human right is respected and where it is violated.

Vocabulary

  • Crowned: be on top of.

Although slavery seem to be already eradicated, there are still 70 million people enslaved. Human rights must not only be brought to the western countries (where these are not respected at all usually), but also to the poorest countries, because the level of development of a country should not adversely affect its inhabitants. In Ivory Coast, people are brutally enslaved by the mafia to get the famous "blood diamonds".
