What will be an ideal response?

The government solicits bids from prime contractors who assemble the package or system. The contractor who was awarded the contract would be responsible for bidding out and assembling the system's subcomponents from second-tier contractors. Thus, the prime contractor provides a turnkey solution.

One example of modern day slavery, as discussed in the interview with Kevin Bales, is:

a. Purchased human labor for farming – just as it existed in early U.S. History with humans being kidnapped, transported and sold on the open market. b. Debt bondage – where families borrow money with the collateral being their future labor and the future labor of their offspring. c. People being offered very low wages and poor working conditions because the market will bear those conditions. d. Children working for their family businesses doing manual labor that is legal under exceptions to the child labor laws.
