SLAVES Meaning and Definition

  1. Slaves are individuals who are owned, controlled, and forced to work for others without any autonomy or personal freedom. Historically, the institution of slavery has been widespread across different cultures and time periods, although it has been abolished in most countries around the world today.

    Slavery involves a complete disregard for the rights, dignity, and humanity of those held in bondage. Slaves are considered property, owned by their masters or owners, who exert authority and control over every aspect of their lives. They are often captured or bought into slavery through various means, including warfare, trade, and inheritance.

    Once enslaved, individuals are subjected to a range of intensive labor or other services, typically under harsh conditions. They may work in agriculture, mining, domestic service, construction, or various other industries, depending on the economic activities prevalent in the region and the time period. Slaves are often treated as commodities and can be bought, sold, or even rented out like any other tradeable good.

    Slavery has historically been accompanied by severe physical and psychological mistreatment, as well as widespread denial of their basic human rights. This includes restrictions on movement, limited access to education, healthcare, or legal protection, and the denial of marriage or family ties.

    The abolitionist movement, which gained momentum in the 18th and 19th centuries, campaigned for the eradication of slavery worldwide, eventually leading to the abolition of legal slavery in many countries. However, forms of modern slavery, including forced labor, human trafficking, and debt bondage, still persist in some parts of the world, demanding ongoing efforts to combat this deep-rooted violation of human rights.

Etymology of SLAVES

The word "slaves" ultimately traces back to the Middle English term "sclave" (pronounced "sklav-uh") which was derived from the Old French word "esclave" and the Medieval Latin word "sclavus". These terms were adopted from the word "Slav", a name given to the people of Slavic ethnicity who were often enslaved by various European societies during the Middle Ages. The Slavs were widely captured and sold into slavery by Muslims, Byzantines, and predominantly by Vikings and other Germanic groups. Over time, the term "slaves" became more universally used to refer to individuals who were held in bondage or servitude, regardless of their ethnic origin.
