GX TEAM 85 CELEBRATED ITS 4TH GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP DAY ON ''SLAVERY''

Sessions were conducted by Raheel Ahmad and Zaake Deconink

GX team 85 conducted its 4th GCD on the SLAVERY regarding to human rights; as one of the theme of the GX.
The sessions were conducted by Raheel Ahmad and Zaake Deconink. They discussed the definition of the slavery, the causes and the effects of the slavery. Some of the background history of slavery was also come under discussion. Both of the presenters tried to make it more interactive they shared some of the photographs of the slave ships, the case studies and the shocking facts about slavery. The most interesting part of the GCD was the introduction of new concept of slavery in modern era. Which was termed as MENTAL SLAVERY? They discussed that although the chained slaves are not very obvious in the modern era but slavery have taken another form. They termed the modern era and the influence of so called modernism as the master of modern man. They said man of today is enslaved by the current banking system, matterliastic attitudes, the consumer society and the extravagant approaches which are leading man to very serious psychological illness. They said ‘the current man is not driven by its free will nor by the demands of the should but he is breathing the social approval and more popularity and in return of all this respect and popularity he is giving his free will and his real desires’’.
To refine the concept of MENTAL SLAVERY they have performed a role play in which one of the presenter was the new born indivdual in society and the other presenter acted as society. Basically the theme of the role play was to show that how different beliefs and restrictions hits the mind and the soul of an individual and makes him slave.
At the end of the session a meeting was organized with Andy to talk about the political propaganda of Palestinian and Israeli issue.
Collectively it was a brilliant effort. A true example of team work and well presented GCD.
BEST OF LUCK TO RAHEEL AND ZAAKE
