I read the article about slavery from Mother Jones. The article was interesting because I myself will admit that I too looked at prostitution as sex trafficking, but I do believe that slavery is not only involved with sex but many other things. Social stratification involves the hierarchical arrangement of large groups based on control over basic resources, and when this is at its extreme form it defines slavery by people owning other people. With this definition, I believe that slavery isn’t just sex trafficking but many other things like people working for other people without a choice; it’s the selling, trading and buying of human life.
How social stratification play into this article is that it arranges large groups hierarchal based on control over basic resources and thus with that control and power one can chose to commit slavery because they have the resources and money to do what they want. People that chose to be deviant and condone to slavery. If one is at a higher social stratification, they would most likely not have to face slavery, compared to those that are born into it. Feminism also plays a role in the article because it breaks the notion that men and women are equal and should have equal rights. Most trafficking when it comes to women is powered by men because they don’t see women as equals but as something that can make profit, even if it’s consensual. Why this might be happening is pretty much people trying to save money and/ or make money to achieve a higher social stratification in their lives. |

During the reading of " The Apex of Slavery", I was able to interpret what Skinner was talking about how America tends to have a misperception of "Slavery". Most forms of slavery that are discussed are those involved in prostitution, via coercion or not. During the article those forced into slavery are those who suffer from levels of low social stratifiction.
Social Stratification plays a major role in how people are treated and how their lifestyles are conducted. Slaves range from those who are forced, as well as those who are born into it. Those who have higher levels of social stratification are more likely not to face any form of slavery, in fact they are more likely to be the ones that conduct the slave trade and the business that surrounds this degrading act among people. Deviance among the people who are considered slaves often result in harsher treatment. As for the peoople who conduct the selling, buying, or trading of human beings are considered to be deviant, because the selling, trading and buying of human life is something that is looked upon by humans as a terrible act. |
