- Prostitutes/Exotic Dancers: initially I was conflicted on these professions because an exotic dancer is a typically accepted form of job for a woman in our culture while prostitution is looked down on. However, in both jobs the woman is using her body and sexuality in order to gain a profit. The only difference (sometimes) is that one involves sexual activity whereas the other does not. This is a fine line between the jobs and yet society somehow thinks it is okay to harass prostitutes while exotic dancers are normally protected by bouncers and security guards. I do not think Continue reading...

Introduction

The existence of classes in the society has a long history dating back to the 19th century in the Western Europe after the industrial revolution (Abrutyn, 2013).

However, since then different forms of stratification emerged in the society. Examples of such stratifications or classes are the ones based on gender, race, age, and religion (Bartos & Wehr, 2002). Consequently, various arguments exist concerning these new forms of stratification with some people Continue reading...

Today is a modern world full of fast-paced technology and inventions designed to make our lives easier. We live in a futuristic time that is built to suit our every need and whim. Despite these luxuries, there are still many aspects of our society that have yet to catch up to modern times. Many of these aspects concern the differences in gender, specifically in how one gender is treated worse or differently than the other in particular areas of society. This stigmatization is archaic and unfair to both genders. I recognize many things that need to change and if Continue reading...

Introduction

In the modern world, human trafficking is a problem that causes humanitarian concern. Victims of human trafficking have endured unimaginable suffering.

Unfortunately, the vice still persists although the number of victims has reduced. This therefore raises several questions about human trafficking as it affects the Continue reading...

Prostitution is perhaps the ultimate victimless crime: a consensual transaction in which both parties are supposedly committing a crime, and the person most likely to be charged—the one selling sex—is also the one most likely to be viewed as the victim. (Young)
First, it's the outlawing of prostitution that does capture real sufferers. Like with additional victimless crimes, the legalization of prostitution generates a vast breeding field for dishonesty, insincerity, and ethically doubtful law enforcement strategies.
For a long time, many in the United States have thought sex occupation to be degrading toward females. Their male clienteles Continue reading...

In the epic poem Gilgamesh, the main character of Gilgamesh and his friend Enkidu are shown to have a close friendship throughout the story – almost to the extent where readers wonder if they are more than friends. While the tale makes it ambiguous as to the exact nature of their relationship, it is interesting to see the parallels between their relationship and a sexual or romantic relationship. They say that they love each other just as a husband and wife do – sexual intercourse is a component of that, which begs the implication that they have sex with each other. Continue reading...
