Slavery When we look back at the history of this country we tend to look at both the positive and negative actions that have happened. Some tend to stand out more then others, such as slavery. Although this country did a good job in abolishing slavery, it did not get rid of it completely. Slavery and human trafficking still exists today in the modern world.

There are many different kinds of slavery that goes on in today's modern society such as sex slavery, work slavery and plenty others. I think it's crazy how slavery has not really changed over the years. I mean theres still human trafficking going on allover the world. There are people who are forced in slavery or tricked into it. As I was conducting my research I found it astonishing how many women and children are involved or forced into becoming sex slaves.

These tattoos represent that they belong to one specific group or person. This I figured closely relates to how the slaves in the past were also marked in order to determine which slaves belongs to a certain owner or group. This is something that I thought did not
