Not talking about wage slavery or anything like that. I have heard it exists in Sudan, but I also have read articles about slaves in places like France working as housemaids. Is that really true? How does it happen?

I assume in the modern age these are exploited people and not individuals from wealthy nations being enslaved. I do not think it would be possible to enslave someone from a place like the US.

Hey everybody
I realise that im kind of taking a stab in the dark by putting forward my question but i didnt know what else to do!
Last year i was given a complete compass set by my great grandfather before he died and all i wanted to know was when and where it came from. The only markings it has are 'British made. Jay Wess series.' i tired searching on the internet with no luck, so i was just wondering if anyone had ever heard of 'jay wess series'???
thanks

I am researching Medieval imagery and symbols. I have found the images of the Blacke Toade, and other references to owls, armour and fruit, but I would like to hear of other Medieval images/symbols with an explanation of what they represent and the contexts in which they were used.

Is happiness the ultimate goal of humans?

Take out a species of any other animal, and the food web would crash and many other animals will ultimately die. But isn't it kinda depressing that if somehow humans were wiped out, the world would carry on and perhaps be a better place. Why do we believe that humans are the most important species? (please don't use the excuse that we were born in gods image)
