It is a term that is viewed as neutral in one sense; for, the concept itself, while implying subjection to an owner or master, does not require it. “Slavery”, on the other hand, necessarily connotes a system of ownership and involuntary compulsion; “servitude” can quite simply be tied to the idea that there exists a lack of freedom.
