According to the presentation of Kevin
about modern slavery, slavery in the world is really a huge problem of the
world since it is totally against the human rights. Mostly, the narrator is
talking about how serious slavery this problem is. And he shows how miserable those
people in slavery are by using some pictures and describing the real lives of
those people. At last, what was surprising me, was that he didn’t ask people to
donate money and buy slaves from slaveholders. Instead he suggests people to
help those people who are rescued to rebuild their own homes. Therefore, those
people can also have their own dignity back. And rebuilding home can also make
those people invulnerable. So I think rebuilding home for those people is
really a good idea, which is much more effective than buying people from
slavery traffickers.

For me, Kevin is a pretty skilled rhetor because
he is presenting his idea in order and that makes me feel easy to get his
information. At first, he presents that only few people knows the slavery
problem in today’s world. Since that he provides a map that shows almost the
world has slavery problem. When people are doubting that it might not be so
many slaves in the world, he provides some reasons such as the lack of
protection to vulnerable people so that people will understand why the number
of slaves is so huge. After that, he introduces some basic information of the
slavery, how slavery traffickers lie to people and get them to become slaves,
what is the prices of slaves in both past and present society, and what will
the slavery market become if people just let it develop. At last, after showing
so many things about negative effects of slavery, he appeal audiences to pay
more attentions on this problem and help those people who are in slavery out
and rebuild their own homes. According to this, I think this is a
well-organized presentation, and Kevin is a skilled rhetor.

Kevin’s central contention is absolutely
that people should help slaves to get out from slavery and rebuild their lives.
In the presentation, he is uses many related information to proof his
viewpoints. For example, when he is trying to show how large is the range of slavery
existing in the world, he uses a map that tells me only Iceland and Greenland are
not the places that slavery exists. As a result, I can see that slavery appears
on almost the whole world from the map. And then, even he doesn’t have to point
out his opinion, I know he is trying to tell me slavery is too huge a problem
to be ignored.

At 5:07, he uses a whole paragraph as a
transition. Before the transition, he was talking about the main cause of
slavery is the lack of protection of the vulnerable. In the transition, he says
that the situation of slavery he introduced was precisely what has happened in
the world. Then he says that a lot of people come into slavery not because of
the knocked over the head as he just provided, however, they come into slavery because
someone asks them a question. After that, a paragraph that says mostly people
are asked if they need a job and then those people were taken to become slaves.
Without the transition paragraph, those two paragraphs before and after the
transition are not able to be connected.
When Kevin is trying to say there are too
many people in the world, he uses “the population explodes” to present it. And I
think this is a really interesting way to say too many population.
