Human Trafficking Presentation

Over the past few days I have listened to many speeches about current issues throughout the world, but none of them affected me as much as the presentation about human trafficking. The presenter explained that human trafficking is when someone is basically kidnapped and forced to work or do other bad things. They also shared some shocking facts about how common and often this is used in our society. One of the things they shared was the secret to how Wal-Mart keeps their prices so unbelievably low; they do this by using human trafficking to get workers to overproduce products in sweat shops for little to no pay. I was surprised that a company so prevalent in our community would use these tactics just in order to earn a larger profit. This presentation opened my eyes to what goes on behind some of the companies we trust to give us the things we use every day.
