Racism, Classicism, Slavery Today, Globalization and Human Rights
In our last Cultural Diversity class we were discussing the “isms” – especially racism and classism and slavery in America.
One student said at the end of the lesson, “Abraham Lincoln freed all the slaves in 1865 so that ended the problem.”

One student said, “India is the only place that has classism problems.”
Another student brought up the problems of workers’ rights in Doha. Many students were very worried about it as they said maybe the World Cup might not take place there now because all the media was talking about Human Rights of workers.
Here is a video for those few students who had not heard about this news.
I asked students to get on the Internet and check the facts about world slavery since 1865 and today.
Blog Exercise 10A: Write a reflection of 50-100 words (#10A) about modern slavery today. What do you think?? Figure out how many slaves work for you.. and post on your blog..
Some people think
that slavery does not exist at the moment. I disagree with them. Slavery
evolved at the present time. Such as human injustice of labor which leave their
country to acquire money. For example, some companies do not give workers their
dues for a period of not less than 5 months. Some countries gave a false
promise to their workers. For instance, they tell him the salary is 1000 Dirham
and when they start their job they find the salary is 500 not 1000.
