It is just sad to see how slavery; something that we read about in history class, English class and many other classes is a topic that is still part of our lives in more than just readings. Many people have family members that had experienced it first hand and some that are dealing with it till this day. In many countries slavery is still happening not exactly how it was before but people still working for miserable payments, being kept away from their families just to be able to work with the hopes that in some near future they can get back together with their families and have enough money to start all over.
Slavery is not only about working under someone and being told what to do, it’s also about how much work you do and what you get in return, how much opportunities are you really allowed and how far can you really get without having to climb a wall that’s just to high… immigrants come to NY thinking it’s the land of opportunity but it’s not easy being an immigrant, or a non English speaking person or just anyone under Superior people. There are many opportunities but with dead ends more than with endless possibilities…. Just going to school don’t cut it anymore, money speaks louder than anything in this world, the higher class people will always be higher class and anything under that will always remain there. But it’s good to always stay positive and always reach for the unreachable.
