RESEARCH RELATED PROBLEM SOLUTION ESSAY: MODERN DAY SLAVERY, BONDED LABOUR

Discovering that such is very far from being the case may come as a surprise yet it is a fact; slavery in the form of bonded labour is very much alive and kicking and a lot more widespread than you might think. In order to gain insight into the problem, access the texts below, read and annotate the texts and watch the 28 minute documentary. When you have compiled your notes, write your essay essay. If this writing task is being done as class work, the documentary could be used as a warm up followed by the texts.
