Why did Aristotle defend slavery in the first place?
Actually, he defended slavery by nature wherein this person cannot exercise reason on his own and he's the one who makes himself available to the beck and call of another person.
On the other hand, slavery by convention is imposed by society and is backed-up by laws. It's as if you don;' have a choice.
A slave is someone who is an animate article of property and a part of a household. He has a function in order to make the household run. A slave by nature is someone who cannot stand alone and who needs someone to decide for himself.
A modern-day slave in a high school setting is the "lacky" of the clique --- the one who follows orders without question or any hesitation. He always asks, "What are we going to do today?" Or sometimes you'd ask him, "What do you want to do?" Then he will reply, "I don't know. What do you want to do anyway?" His life cannot revolve without other people directing it.
So think, does your description fits this person? If yes, then you're a slave by nature too!
