Write about this drawing from two points of view. Describe your concerns, how you feel about these people, and your goal in loading the ship. Now assume you are one of the Africans being loaded. Do some research on other societies that have had slavery, such as the ancient Greeks. Compare and contrast the conditions of those societies with slavery in the United States.

We are all involved in power relationships. Give some examples of people who have power over you and people over whom you have power. If so, describe their relationship with the rest of society. Think about some change in the status of a particular group of people in modern society. The position of women in society has been changing quite significantly for the past several years.
