I Sentence You to 26 Hours of Work, 9 Days a Week! No Overtime...

                        Does slavery truly exist nowadays or is it in terms in which we cannot see?
Definitions of slavery on the Web:

• bondage: the state of being under the control of another person
• the practice of owning slaves
• work done under harsh conditions for little or no pay

            Now lets see this definition "bondage: the state of being under the control of another person". We can still see this today but instead of just one person, it is several. Many U.S citizens are in dept through credit cards, tuition, bills, payments, and much more. So what do they do? They work days and night trying to pay off such depts and hardly make enough profit to sustain themselves. There is no choice of whether or not to pay those dept, they have to.
           If they decide not to pay , they'll lose everything they have including personal possessions. The credit card companies don't care whether you only get 4 hours of sleep or if you become homeless, they only care if you pay them what you owe. So these companies or dept collecters don't directly have slaves but in a sense they do. They have people working throughout their lives to make money for them, whether or not the person working for them is making a living or not.
          So is slavery truly gone or it has just taken a new form?

     I am aware that there is "real" slavery in the world but i'm really focusing on a version of slavery that is considered to be overlooked. It may not be life threatening but certainly could be devastating. Also you don't have to use credit cards but some people have no choice but to. Either use a credit card now so your family has something to eat or cut into what little savings they have. Yet there comes the question of "why borrow money you're not sure you can pay back?". Easier said then done. Doesn't the United States alone owe trillions of dollars to other countries which it hasn't paid back?
