     Exploitation is a very interessting topic.  When we 
thinks of exploitation we usually think of all the third 
world countries where exploitation is easily 
identifiable.  One thing that we don't usually realize 
is that exploitation happens in many other places too.  
One example that really shocked me was the fact that 
Michael Jordan was an exploited worker.  You may say how 
can Michael Jordan be considered explited when he is 
making $35+ million a year.  The reason he is exploited 
is because of the total revenue he as a player brought 
in.  He was really worth $80+ million a year when you 
add up all of the ticket sales, guest appearances, and 
MIchael Jordan athletic gear.  He brought in a lot more 
revenue then he was actual payed.  Therefore he as an 
athlete was also exploited.  Exploitation is definately 
a topic worth looking into.  Especially if you feel that 
you are being exploited.  Run the numbers and find out 
the facts.  Then you'll know.
