    The document discusses slavery in the past and present. It provides examples of how slaves were used to build the Great Pyramids in Egypt and were bought and sold by British traders in Africa. While the slave trade was abolished in 1807, some argue forms of slavery still exist today, such as through poor working conditions where some are paid as little as $0.50 per hour to produce goods. The document prompts discussion on what was learned about slavery and whether views on it have changed.
