Economic slavery vs resting

 Why can't we rest properly and escape modern slavery?

Many people can't rest even on days off and when they need to rest, and there are many people who think that something needs to be done to solve it. That's what I call 'obsession for productive days'. We are living beings, we are also animals, and we are homo se pierce se pierce. In other words, we hunt when we hunt, but we have to rest during break time. The reason is that if we don't rest properly, we will be very inefficient when hunting next time, and in the case of the old days when we hunted while moving as a team, we will get tired and sick. Those who get caught are because they catch the ankles of their team members. Let go of the obsession that you have to be productive, and plant the idea that you are resting the time you are resting now, for the future, for yourself to be productive in the future (self-hypnosis). We say that we are productive by moving our bodies, meeting various people, and studying, but from another point of view, rest is the most productive.

The role of slavery in the development of European and American capitalism has been analyzed in various works. Among other things, Eric Williams' classic Capitalism and Slavery, published in the United States in 1944 and which for twenty years found no publishing in Britain. The number of people in modern slavery has increased significantly over the past five years. In 2021, there were 10 million more people in modern slavery compared to the 2016 global estimates. Women and children remain disproportionately vulnerable.

Forced labour
Most cases of forced labour (86 per cent) occur in the private sector. Forced labour in sectors other than commercial sexual exploitation accounts for 63 per cent of all forced labour, while forced commercial sexual exploitation accounts for 23 per cent of all forced labour. Forced labour imposed by the State accounts for 14 per cent of those subjected to forced labour. Almost one in eight people who do forced labour are children (3.3 million). More than half of them are in commercial sexual exploitation.

Forced marriage
An estimated 22 million people lived in forced marriage on any given day of 2021. This indicates an increase of 6.6 million since the 2016 global estimates.

Migrant workers are more than three times more likely to do forced labour than non-migrant adult workers. While labour migration has a broadly positive impact on individuals, households, communities and societies.

Governments should strengthen measures to combat forced labour and trafficking in persons in enterprises and supply chains; expand social protection; and strengthen legal protection, including raising the legal age for marriage to 18 without exception. Other measures include addressing the increased risk of trafficking and forced labour for migrant workers, promoting fair and ethical recruitment, and increasing support for women, girls and vulnerable persons.

Science & Futurism with Isaac 2_extra credit

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRStfFOwcsM The video "What If The Dinosaurs Hadn't Died Off?" by AlternateHistoryHub explores a fascinating hypothetical scenario: what the world might look like if the dinosaurs had survived the catastrophic events that led to their extinction 66 million years ago. The video delves into various aspects of this alternate history, examining the potential impact on mammalian evolution, human development, and the planet's ecosystems. The video begins with a brief overview of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which wiped out the dinosaurs and allowed mammals to become the dominant life forms on Earth. It then explores the possible consequences if this event had never occurred. The narrative is engaging, combining scientific knowledge with imaginative speculation to paint a vivid picture of an alternate Earth. One of the most intriguing points discussed is how the survival of dinosaurs might have affected mammalian evolution. Witho...

Extra credit—Examples of values that have been commodified

Commodification of wood carving In fact, the situation described above is a thing of the past. It's not completely changed, but there are a few exceptions now with the penetration of the monetary economy. These changes, presumably, began in the 1960s, when farmers in Zafimaniri began selling crafts. The artefacts were originally purchased by Catholic priests in France to minimize food shortages during bad harvests. Also, around the same time, the museum affiliated with the Antananarivo University, Madagascar's largest institution of higher learning, began collecting specimens from all over Madagascar, and the "folk arts" inherited from the mountains were also extensively collected. As a result, the exquisite wood carvings of Zafimaniri were first recognized overseas and later by the wealthy class in China. The penetration of monetary economy has brought the following effects to the production of wood carving. 1. Before the beginning of professional commercialization, ...

W5.2- Introduction to Sociology/Religion-LUAN QIANYUE

 1.Summary The sociologist Émile Durkheim described it by saying that it consists of "things beyond the limits of our knowledge". Religion is "a unified system of beliefs and practices associated with sacred things, that is, separated and forbidden, beliefs and practices united into a single moral community called the Church, for all those who adhere to them". Religion can be broadly defined as a system of beliefs, values and practices that provide individuals with a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. It is a fundamental aspect of human culture and has played an important role in shaping society throughout history. Sociologists are interested in understanding how religion influences social behavior, how it interacts with other social institutions, and how it shapes individual and group identity. 2.Interesting point Religion exists as an organized and integrated set of beliefs, behaviors, and norms centered on basic social needs and values. It typically inc...
