And you would be right to decline that idea. There is absolutely no "slavery" in what we do, it's obviously not a great life to live when there are so many things that we can't afford, but being upset that you can't get what you want, doesn't mean we are slaves. And just because business owners could make so much more than the worker, doesn't mean they are masters.

We can easily quit any job we have, that is the proof that we are not slaves, there is absolutely no other reason required, if you can go to work today, and give your two week notice, that means you are not a slave. Slavery has to be being hold against your wishes and that does exist in some sweatshop parts of the world, just not around where we live. I believe in the power of individual, and the right to be as strong as possible, so many people grew up from nothing and even became presidents, and that means we need to realize things aren't going to be that bad for the individual at all.

I agree that individuals have rights and freedoms today, I mean I think many people who can write here have almost the same rights.
Although inflation is high today, that is a separate issue, economic activities, poverty have not always been like this.
Maybe the job you chose is wrong, you become poor because you learned the profession and insisted on it, this may be one of the factors. People get what they want in some way, slavery is a complete restriction.

There is a confusion of concepts. Each worker or employer may have a different perspective, and this difference does not accurately reflect the definition of modern slavery. Clear concepts are needed to distinguish this. For example, if there is behavior A in a workplace, this can be considered modern slavery. It is not easy to determine the example of behavior A because not everyone may think of this behavior in the same way.

In today's business life, laws protect employees in many ways. I accept that not every business has the same conditions, and I know that some businesses put too much pressure on their employees. I hope that difficult conditions in working life will be corrected and such concepts will no longer be discussed.
