Emancipation's worldwide significance is undoubtedly vital. Each island has its own unique history of slavery and the abolition of it where Trinidad had a mere 17,439 slaves at Emancipation Jamaica had 254,310, slaves, and British Guiana, which had 69,579 to list a few. The British annexation of Trinidad came at a time when English opposition to slavery was winning popular approval. As a result, Trinidad was administered as a Model Colony, in respect of legislation governing the treatment of slaves.

All this help us place our experience in a wider global and historical perspective. In Trinidad's history, the episode of Emancipation was crucial in changing the character of the population of the island. For one, Trinidad became a magnet for the emancipated slaves of the other, older and more-densely populated islands, especially Grenada, St Vincent and Barbados. 

Presently Trinidad celebrates emancipation by hosting a five-day celebration that leads to Emancipation Day which is the opening of the Lidj Yasu Omowale Emancipation Village. Located at the Queen's Park Savannah, Port of Spain, the village is the center stage for cultural performances as well as a shopping district for all things Afro-centric. Fashion, art, jewelry, furniture, and food will be available there. My family and I personally love visiting the village to reminisce about our past ancestors and their lives and how we as a people came a long way.
Linking this to Caribbean civilization our past helps us understand who we are, therefore it is important we pass the information from generation to generation to ensure our culture stays alive.

Under the CSME, the free movement of persons across the Region entails the removal of work permits for University Graduates, Media Workers, Sports Persons, Musicians, Artists, Managers, Supervisors and other service providers. Workers in these categories can now move freely to another Member State and enjoy the same benefits and rights as regards conditions of work and employment as those given to national workers.

Under the CSME, competition will be promoted and maintained. This will lead to greater economic efficiency in production and at the same time enhance intra-regional trade as well as extra-regional trade. To retain markets abroad in the face of additional global competition domestic firms are encouraged to become highly competitive and to meet international standards for quality and performance

THE CSME—CREATING A LEVEL PLAYING FIELD.

Anti-competitive business conduct will not be allowed.

This includes:

• The fixing of selling prices

• Artificially dividing up the markets.

• Restricting of supply sources.

• Bid-rigging – collusive tendering whereby persons enter into an agreement by deciding amongst themselves who should participate in the bid and on the amount of money which should be used to bid.

• Predatory pricing – where the supplier sells at a very low price in order to drive his competitors away.

• Limit to the production of goods and services for a market to the prejudice of consumers.

Now with this in mind a lot of positive outcomes can arise where now people who are unable to find jobs in their country have a greater chance to do so, also businesses now have a wider market they can expand to which would help increase profits and also bring in money in the circular flow of income within the nation. However, negative circumstances can arise where a possible brain drain can occur where an outflux of educated, skilled citizens can leave their homeland to venture into new ones.
