Prostitution Is Morally Wrong And Should Be Eradicated From Society

All in all, just because someone is a prostitute does not mean they need to be put down in that manner, most people turn to prostitution as a last resort, a way to get out of a bad situation thinking that this will somehow be better. Some probably didn’t have a choice and were forced into it. You never know what someone has gone through to get to where they're at. “Whores” are viewed as people who are lesser, while in fact the majority of the time they’re just people trying to get by with the skills they have. Maybe in the case of this majority, they were never able to find something else they were able to do effectively. But how do “whores” actually view themselves? To assume that one views themselves as lesser, for what they may have no choice in doing, is foolhardy. For all the average person may know prostitutes may have taken the word whore and adapted it to be viewed in a more positive

When looking into Prostitution women are usually thought to be the lowest form a part of the human species, people make assumptions as to why a women would even bother with the idea of subjecting herself to harsh treatment by others, people often correlate the idea of prostitution with human trafficking. That each of these categories are of association, prostitution is “the practice or occupation of engaging in sexual activity with someone for payment.” While human trafficking is “the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.” Each of these subjects demonstrates different meanings but express the same sense of ideas, which will be looked into too.

Prostitution is said to be “the world’s oldest profession” (Ramchandran par. 1). The Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary defines prostitution as “the act or practice of engaging in promiscuous sexual relations especially for money” (“Prostitution” par. 1). Many people argue that prostitution should be legalized, but it hurts people more than it helps. Legalization of prostitution condones sexual behavior for profit. Not to mention, the increased risk of illness or infection via sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs), or death. It also does not “enhance women’s choices” (Raymond par. 45). This means that whether

In recent articles and news reports in the United States, many people are debating if Prostitution should be legalized or remain illegal. A lot of women are driven to prostitution to support their family or to satisfy their sex drive. There are a lot of comments made about prostitution on whether prostitution is considered a job or an sex offense to women. Many people don’t agree with Prostitution being considered a job because it is disrespectful to women, or some people see it as a way of support especially when they are the only family provider. But some people don’t understand that if Prostitution is Legalized that gives the sex industry a gateway to expand. In addition The United States Government should not legalize prostitution because

According to Seidenberg, “the selling and/or buying sex has been alternately illegal, regulated and forbidden, such as; the U.S federal law against prostitution was the Page Act of 1975” (Seidenberg). As well, prostitutes are ever seen for the ability to give good times by providing sexual services for money or gifts. To recap, prostitutes used to be women selling their bodies for money, but today there are men prostitutes selling their bodies too for many reasons. Not only money, but also drugs are a common currency for prostitutes. In addition, this service industry brings bad consequences to society in the United States, such as, economic, health and social issues.

As a part of the legalization and support for prostitution, we need to clearly identify the definition of prostitution. The act of prostitution is defined as the willing participation in the use of sexual acts in exchange for compensation whether it was money or any other means of value gained from the use of the body of sexual pleasure. Prostitution is considered the world’s oldest profession that has been secretly practiced for centuries. Prostitution is not biased to gender or sexual orientation in any class. Prostitution is a multi-billion dollar industry that is very alive and visible according to law enforcement reports and arrest. Experts have determined that approximately 2 million prostitutes currently participate in the illegal sex industry for profit. Unfortunately, in the current state of illegal prostitution, people who

Prostitution lowers the value of a human being and makes the person no better than an inanimate object.  My opinion matches many cultural, political, and religious beliefs all of which are used to judge right and wrong.  Regardless of whether or not the act is consensual, or the desperation of woman to make quick money to support her kids, a sexual act with a stranger all in the name of money is simply wrong.  Prostitution often leads to adultery, pornography, drug abuse, HIV/Aids, and sexual violence. None of these fall in line with societies idea of ethics or morality.  They are not harmless consequences.  According to one study, "The act of prostitution is morally wrong and according to the Kantain Principle of Humanity and Categorical Imperative, the act of prostitution degrades the natural use of a woman's body and allowing men to use a woman's body as a means to an end thus violates the

We must define what prostitution is to understand the concept behind it. Prostitution is a command debate in American, it is defined as exchanging sexual favors for money or materials (Outshoorn 2004). In history prostitution involved men exchanging money for sexual favors from women, however in recent history homosexual men are also exchanging sexual favors for money, drugs, or even a place to stay. Prostitution is also known as high-end nonproductive sex, where there is nothing exchanged but sex (Edlund, Korn 2002). Prostitution takes place in brothels, allies, hotels, homes, cars etc… Prostitution is a multibillion-dollar business that the U.S has continued to banned, if workers are caught they will be jailed and prosecuted indefinitely. However, the industry is continuing to boom, provides jobs for low skilled, labor intensive, and is well paid (Edlund, Korn ,2002). However, in order to understand why prostitution is illegal in 51 states in the United States, we be review a brief history of prostitution.

When looking into Prostitution women are usually thought to be the lowest form a part of the human species, people make assumptions as to why a women would even bother with the idea of subjecting herself to harsh treatment by others, people often correlate the idea of prostitution with human trafficking. That each of these categories are of association, prostitution is “the practice or occupation of engaging in sexual activity with someone for payment.” While human trafficking is “the illegal movement of people, typically for the purposes of forced labor or commercial sexual exploitation.” Each of these subjects demonstrates different meanings but express the same sense of ideas, which will be looked into too.

Everyone close your eyes. Imagine you are the son or daughter of a single mother. Your mom has no job, money, food or shelter. It is below freezing and you are all cold, sick, and crying. You can’t sleep because you’re terrified from hearing gunshots all night long. You and your siblings are hungry, thin, and sick but your family has no money for doctors. Your mom is forced to become a prostitute. Every day she is beaten and humiliated. Recently she contracted a sexually transmitted disease that bleeds constantly. She was beaten so brutally one day that left her in the hospital with no insurance or healthcare. She was denied services and she is left in pain and dying. You and your siblings have been placed in a shelter terrified, screaming for your mother who will never return. How will you continue without your mother? You can open your eyes now. Prostitution is one of those legal issues that is an intense debate and will likely remain an issue in America for years to come. On one hand, many people feel that prostitution is a victimless crime, only made dangerous because of its unregulated status. Others feel that prostitutes themselves are often the victims, and turn to point to slavery, violence, and human trafficking to prove that point. Regardless of what side you stand

Everyone knows that rape is wrong. If someone says no to sex then it is considered rape and that man would go to jail, but if that same woman said yes neither of them would be in trouble. If a woman wants to say yes, but only if she gets paid for it then that’s not okay. This is called prostitution. Prostitution is just the reverse of rape. (McElroy, P6) A man or woman says yes to sex, as long as they get paid, and suddenly it doesn’t matter what they want. The government says no. Not only is this a violation of women’s rights to their own body’s, laws against prostitution has put their safety at risk as well. For every 100,000 people, 204 prostitutes are killed a year. That is 20 times the national average. The illegality of prostitution is

“I originally intended to write in defense of legalizing prostitution, but hindsight has made me realize that I cannot defend a profession that dehumanizes its workers.” Tlatenchi, Fredy. "Prostitution Should Not Be Legalized." The Sundial. N.p., 27 Nov. 2012. Web. 07 Sept. 2015. The statement above would lead the author’s readers to believe that prostitution if legal would be no different than it is now, shameful, dangerous, disease ridden and exploitation filled. Prostitution has been around for some time, given it is referred to as the world’s oldest profession. Why is it then, if still illegal, do so many continue their sex work? Desperation? Empowerment? Force? Lack of a moral compass? In

Prostitution is one of the very few professions that have stood throughout thousands and thousands of generations. Some places have accepted it, and others forbade it, but prostitution has always been present and discussed. The business or practice of prostitution consists of men or women engaging in sexual relations in exchange for some form of wage, usually currency. There are those who have willingly chosen prostitution to be an alternative way to make a living, and there are those who have been held against their own will to engage in such activities. Either way, this operation should not be accepted or condoned by any means necessary. Too many times

Prostitution is a profession that has been around for thousands of years despite being a controversial topic in many parts of the world. In the modern world, the ethics of prostitution have been debated with many people viewing the profession as immoral. Prostitution is an exploitative and harmful profession for the sex workers. Since women account for a majority of those who engage in prostitution, these negative impacts affect women more. Also, prostitution is a gendered institution that strengthens and

Prostitution. Streetwalking. The sex trade. The sex industry. Whoring. Hooking. Et Cetera. The exchange of sexual activities for money. Prostitution is probably one of, if not the oldest taboos in our culture, and for good reason. Often times, prostitution is monitored in places called brothels, meeting places for finding prostitutes and sex in general. This scandalous practice is currently legal in many parts of the world, i.e. Germany, most of South America, Spain, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, here and there in Africa, Mexico and many more. It’s been legalized in many places, but why should a profession like this be outlawed? Well, there are many pros as to why prostitution should be abolished. A) Legalization of prostitution is an invitation to human trafficking and slavery. B) Legalization would attract more customers, promoting affairs and divorce. C) Prostitution is degrading. It turns woman into commodities, thus making them nothing but items to be used. I don’t think it would be a good thing to have more divorced couples, more human slaves and more sexism in America.
