The diction of Steinbeck here in apparently describing the dustbowl conditions of the Dirty Thirties is speaking of "tenant men" or presumably men who were tenant farmers perhaps who were allowed to live on the land in return for working it and that they "scuffed" their way home indicates that the dust was so thick they had to scuff but also perhaps that since they could barely make a living under the poor agricultural conditions they did not walk confidently but scuffed.

Yes, they are. The protection of the human rights abuses is protected under the human rights law. The law puts positive obligations towards the victims. It was stated in the Articles 2,3, and 4 in the Human Rights Law that "<span>Everyone’s right to life shall be protected by law. No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. No one shall be held in slavery or servitude. No one shall be required to perform forced or compulsory labour."</span>
