In today's world, slavery still does exist in various forms, although it goes under the radar a majority of the time. Common forms of slavery in the modern world include human trafficking, and sex slaves. The technology that is present in todays world, particularly websites like Craigslist and Facebook allow for an abundance of advertisement over the internet, which poses a problem for the United States department of defense. Many of these ads are clear ads for prostitution, with claims such as "Find hot singles tonight in your area." This leads to abuse of many women who are involved with these advertisements, and goes unnoticed most of the time.
Another form of slavery, which has become a growing problem in America, is the slavery of illegal immigrants. There are households who take in illegal aliens, and agree to keep them in their house to prevent them from being deported in exchange for labor, or sexual favors. This type of slavery very closely resembles a conflict faced in ancient slavery, since these slaves, like ancient slaves, were stuck between a rock and a hard place. They were subject to poor treatment by the household that kept them, but escape was not a viable option, since they could not live on their own without a visa. This shows that although slavery is no longer accepted nor legal in society, it still exists by means of underground forms.
