Racism, Classism, Slavery Today, Globalization and Human Right - Exercise #5
How many slaves work for
you? I have 49 working for me.
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.
