Rome’s Dire Problems

One possible solution to correct this dilemma is to spread the word. It may sound simple, but after all, knowledge is power. With enough people donating and volunteering their help, slavery will be exposed to the general public and shady feudal employers will not be able to continue their “covert operations.” Spreading the word may not be enough, however, and a solid follow-up to this is to encourage absolutely everybody to get involved. In fact, this plan is being carried out right now, by noble citizens just like you and me.

A second, more drastic theoretical solution is to completely open our borders. That way, every citizen on Earth will be equal under the common law, and slavery will, for the most part, cease to exist. This plan will need to be smoothed out and streamlined before use, as it will be extremely hard to commence. Terrorism will also be a large problem, for I doubt that every person on earth can be forced to share a single religion. You may have noticed by now that the first plan is more practical, while the second one is more permanent. As Leo Tolstoy said, “Today, nobody sees, or wishes to see, that in our time the enslavement of the majority of men levied on land and otherwise, which are collected by government from the subjects.”

In conclusion, slavery is what I personally regard to be the most demeaning part of society, its forces potent enough to strip a person of every basic human right. Even after centuries, humans still have not learned from this terrible mistake, continuing to enslave their fellow citizens. All in all, there’s one message that just may be stronger than any other. Slavery is bad!
