Sex Trade

I found this article on Ebsco about the sex trade in Bangkok. The article is called "Bound to the Sex Trade" and it was written by Bradley Davidson. He was writing the article to make people aware of what was going on in Bangkok. Davidson made it seem like prostitution was being promoted everywhere he went. He said when he was walking down the street someone would ask him if "he wanted some ladies for the evening." He also said that most cab drivers would offer prostitutes to him. It completely shocked me that there are cities that promote this and so many girls that are willing to sell there bodies. I learned from reading this article that many women have to resort to prostitution because they make more money doing this than any other job they could get. I think this is totally unfair. Prostitution also is raising the percent of people who carry and spread sexual diseases. It is sick to me that people live in a world where you can buy a human and have sex with them. This is so unethical to me. This also reminds me of this movie I watched called "Taken" where two american girls were kidnapped and sold into the sex trade. This movie frightened me so much because I am about the same age and something like this could happen to me. I am so interested in the sex trade because I am so shocked that something so horrible is happening in the world. I want to study and research it more because I do not really understand how this is allowed.
