Best of the Week: Prostitutes

Recently in class we watched a film about children in India in the Red Light district. If you are not familiar with the red light district it is an area where women sell there bodies to men in a sexual way. This got me thinking that in the U.S. prostitution is illegal. In the inner cities of New York, Chicago, Miami, and even more prostitution exists in other cities. It seems like in other countries prostitution is an easy way to make money maybe to feed kids and family. So why would countries not just make it illegal and enforcing it to the point where those women have to get other jobs and giving them more rights? 

I feel that prostitution is bad and should forever stay illegal in the U.S. If other countries wanted to keep it legal then that is their choice, but i prefer to stay in a country where women have more rights. It is very disturbing how it even crosses women's minds to even think about selling their body for sex. They must come up from seriously bad backgrounds which in those area might be considered more normal than in any other area around it. 

In order to fix this problem, education needs to become more of an option when young so dreams can become a reality and when everyone is educated we become a more civilized nation and world. I am proud to say that prostitution does not affect me directly.

  1. This was a really interesting blog topic. While scrolling through the class page of blogs, yours was different and insightful, hitting on a topic that no one else used. The title got me right away and I was interested in hearing what you had to say, your opinion on the matter. This was a well-written blog!

  2. This could be the first step to bringing gender equality to the middle east. When woman aren't allowed to be prostitutes, they can work better jobs and contribute to society. And you're right, with widespread education we could become more civilized as a world. There are great minds out there that don't have a chance to make an impact, and we need to give them the opportunity.

  3. I also found that topic disturbing and not right. I agree with you that it should be illigal. If it is a illigal they wont have to take the easy way out and will have to find a good respecteful job. You had great ideas on how to fix it and what to focus on. It was interesting to hear your point of view.
