| '''Slavery''' is a form of [[force]]d [[labor]] in which people are considered to be, or treated as, the [[property]] of others. Slaves can be held against their [[will]] from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to receive compensation (such as wages). [[Evidence]] of slavery predates written records, and has existed to varying extents, forms and periods in almost all [[culture]]s and continents.[1] In some societies, slavery existed as a legal institution or socio-economic system, but today it is formally outlawed in nearly all countries. Nevertheless, the [[practice]] continues in various forms around the world.[2][3]. | | '''Slavery''' is a form of [[force]]d [[labor]] in which people are considered to be, or treated as, the [[property]] of others.

| The modern [[idea]] of [[sex]] equality is [[beautiful]] and worthy of an expanding [[civilization]], but it is not found in [[nature]]. When might is right, man lords it over woman; when more [[justice]], [[peace]], and [[fairness]] prevail, she gradually emerges from slavery and obscurity. Woman's social position has generally varied inversely with the degree of militarism in any nation or age.[http://www.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper84.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper84.html&line=108#mfs] | | The modern [[idea]] of [[sex]] equality is [[beautiful]] and worthy of an expanding [[civilization]], but it is not found in [[nature]].
