Prostitution: A worldwide Business of Sexual Exploitation & Tough Guise

Prostitution
The prostituion article talks about how women and some men turn to prostitution. Most women who turn to prostitution have been raped, molested or have received physical abuse from an early age of their life. Some feel like they are not worth anything in life or they are not treated equally. Some turn to these pimps who brainwash them into beliving that this is the way of life and also for some form of security. These pimps often abuse the prostitutes and treat them with no respect and the prostitues should respect their pimps. Sometimes they would also be raped. The article also talks about the different ways in which prostitution takes place and it varies in different parts of the world. For example in Nevada, the state determines the geographic location and size of the brothels. The also have a time to be out in certain areas and they can't be seen talking to certain people. This goes to show that the government is using prostitution as a form of money by taxing these borthels. In my opinion one hand the government talks about child abuse and women being raped  but on the other hand they are legalizing prostitution which most women who work there have experienced these types of assults. In my opinion they should be trying to help these women mentally recover fromt hese experiences and not use them as a form of gaining money. The article basically states that most and if not all women who is in prostituion  have been assulted in some way. Prostitution is money making business. It happens in different forms. For example, internet porn, human trafficking, prostitution, phone sex and massage parlors. I believe prostitution will continue to happen until it is regulized in some form that it doesn't affect the person doing it.

Tough Guise
This video was about what it is to be man and how a man should be through the use of different lines of communication. For example through the use of media, through toys and also movies. Every society has its own way of definning a man. But the basic things that I belive all society expects from a man is for him to be strong both emtionally and physically, tough, have respect, and powerful. The movie talks about how a man is potrayed if he doesn't act like a man. He is called a fag or a sissy. He has certain expectations as a man and if he doesn't act this way he is faced with stigma. In my opinion a mans role was giving from since the begnning of time. I believe it is written in the bible. The video also shows how inequality happens. When a man fights he is strong but if a woman fight she is bad. I believe each gender has an assigned role in life and society expects us to play out that role. If someone goes against their role then they are seen as doing something wrong. In this aspect males are expected to do certain things and act a certain "strong" way, but as time goes by we are seeing a change in this. Society is becoming more accpetable for who you and I are. There will always be that way of thinking of a how a man should act and how a woman should act. This is because that is what we are socialized into believing and also because of religions.

Segregation in 21st Century America

This was an interesting reading. It talks about how institutions in America still promotes racisim and segregation through their institutions and some of the causes for segregation in america. In a country where everyone should be treated equally there is still some inequality. An example the author uses is housing discrimination. If a black and white person goes to try to get a loan or a property to rent, these institutions treat the two people differently and provide them with different information. By doing this it causes segregation amongst us as a society. By the real estate agent only showing the black person houses in black areas and not showing him the houses in the white areas, it takes away the chance of him living amongst the whites which by extent causes segregation. Even though there are laws that are against these things, institution still do it. Even though some people choose to live amongst their own kind, they should have that opportunity of living amongst any race of their choice. Another point is that income has a part to play in it. It plays the part of it depends on how much money you have that may determine where you live. Segregation is around us in New York. For example a lot of carbbean or black or hispanic people live in areas like Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx and Harlem whereas upstate there are a lot of white folks. There are whites that live in these areas but compared to upstate its less. This goes to show that racisim could be on any level and could come in different forms.
