After further consideration, I decided to research an exigent topic close to home. Why is prostitution, a voluntary form of human trafficking, prevalent in the United States. This is confusing because our country is a republic. Our goal is to have equality and freedom between genders, races, religions, and every other category that involves a difference in decisions, physical looks, and opinions. Yet, people willingly giving up their bodies and the freedom it holds for sexual endeavors. In countries where sex trafficking is prevalent, women are desperately looking to escape this lifestyle. These women feel physically and emotionally abused without any right to speak up for themselves. Most of these women are killed in the process and disposed due to the little worth of their bodies. They are desperately waiting for help. Prostitution in America is ironic because prostitutes voluntarily stand on the street and wait for their turn to be taken by a stranger. I am sure there is an interesting and important reason that explains this choice of lifestyle. In fact, is it even a choice? We may be in a free country, but there are many factors that contribute to the quality of a an individual’s lifestyle. Lack of education, support, and opportunities contribute to the poverty in our nation. Although, people in America have the right to choose their lifestyle does not mean that they can. I hope to find research to answer my question and support my hypothesis.
