The two nations are bound together by shared history, an overlap in religion and a common language and legal system, and kinship ties that reach back hundreds of years, including kindred, ancestral lines among English Americans, Scottish Americans, Welsh Americans, Scotch-Irish Americans and American Britons respectively. Today large numbers of expatriates live in both countries.
Through times of war and rebellion, peace and estrangement, as well as becoming friends and allies, Britain and the US cemented these deeply rooted links during World War II into what is known as the "Special Relationship." In long-term perspective, the historian Paul Johnson has called it the "cornerstone of the modern, democratic world order".
In the early 20th century, the United Kingdom affirmed its relationship with the United States as its "most important bilateral partnership" in the current British foreign policy,[2] and the American foreign policy also affirms its relationship with Britain as its most important relationship,as evidenced in aligned political affairs, mutual cooperation in the areas of trade, commerce, finance, technology, academics, as well as the arts and sciences; the sharing of government and military intelligence, and joint combat operations and peacekeeping missions carried out between the United States Armed Forces and the British Armed Forces. Canada has historically been the largest importer of U.S. goods and the principal exporter of goods to the United States. As of January 2015 the UK was fifth in terms of exports and seventh in terms of import of goods.
The two countries also have had a significant impact of the cultures of many other countries. They are the two main nodes of the Anglosphere, with a combined population of around 385 million in 2015. Together, they have given the English language a dominant role in many sectors of the modern world.

Human trafficking is not just a heinous crime. On top of being a disgusting criminal activity, it's also violating the rights of human beings in general. It's an outright atrocious violation of the human rights. The people who get trafficked are treated like worthless items by the traffickers. The traffickers trample all over the victims as if they are animals. They make their decisions for them, give them no respect whatsoever, don't let them move freely, and lastly, they don't let the victim choose who they can work for and where they can work at etc. In human trafficking, activities such as child labor, sexual exploitation of minors as well as legals, forced labor, forced bondage as well as marriage take place; these acts are the violation of human rights per se. All the previously mentioned acts and practices are prohibited by the International Law of Human Rights.
Answer:
To anybody who’s familiar with Everest climbing, it should come as no surprise that all of the men were Sherpa porters. Sherpas are Everest's workforce—the literal backbone of the climbing industry there. The men who were struck were either carrying 80-pound loads to Camps I and II, or they were on their way back to Base Camp. Without the hard work of the Sherpa porters, it would be largely impossible for Americans and Europeans with slightly above-average physiology, and well above-average disposable income, to scale the world’s tallest mountain.
