1. Provide a brief summary of the article.
2. Point out the main philosophy of the author regarding the subject matter.

4. Skinner proclaims that “today there are more slaves than at any time in human history.” Does this surprise you? Why, or why not? Explain your answer.
5. Skinner further believes that the “United Nations, whose founding principles call for it to fight bondage in all its forms, has done almost nothing to combat modern slavery” and that “there is little to suggest the United Nations, which consistently fails to hold its own member states accountable for widespread slavery, will be an effective tool in defeating the broader phenomenon.” Do you agree, or disagree? Why, or why not?
6. Please explain what you think Skinner means when he states “until governments define slavery in appropriately concise terms, prosecute the crime aggressively in all its forms, and encourage groups that empower slaves to free themselves, millions more will remain in bondage.”
7. Please explain in detail what steps you believe the United States should take to deal with the problem of worldwide slavery. If you believe the U.S. should take no action, and then explain your reasons for not doing so in detail.

3. Indent paragraphs and double-space between paragraphs.
4. Right, left, top, and bottom margins should be 1 inch.
