This reading gives me an entirely different perspective on how I operate in relation to other people I know and associate with. There was a time in my life that I didn’t measure my position in life based on possessions; I was affluenza free. However, as I got a little older the need for greed seems to have taken a bigger role in my life. The reading of Affluenza makes me realize that I do, to an extent have this affliction. Although it is not all consuming for me, I certainly possess a lot more…

I think that cars need to remain central in the lives in most Americans because it is important for Americans to get from one place to another by car.

Instead of the common beliefs which claim sustainability comes at the cost of absolute reduction and diminishment of our current ways of life as we know them, we instead need to accept a more modern take on what is more sustainable practice as a species. The pros…

Americans perceive downloading music as an everyday act, but it’s actually quite a criminal action. Consequently, downloading music allows the public to listen to their favorite artist for free or for a small price. Stephen Seigel elaborates by saying, “Under the agreement, Napster will begin to charge a monthly fee for use of it’s service--$4.95 seems to be the number being tossed around-- though how the money is ultimately divvied up will surely be a source of future contention.” (“Nipping at…

The DOJ issued a warning stating that: “Among children and teens living on the streets in the United States, involvement in commercial sex activity is a problem of epidemic proportion” and claiming that “Child sexual exploitation is the most hidden form of child abuse in the U.S. today.” Yet, it is an epidemic that has gone largely overlooked and untreated. The truth is, there is no way to be sure how many are forced into prostitution every year here in America. The estimated figure is that…

countries have legalized prostitution. Should the United States follow their footsteps? Prostitution should remain illegal for many reasons. Many prostitutes are in danger, have no idea about their rights, and are being forced to participate in the sex industry. Prostitutes are constantly in danger of injuries, death, and sexually transmitted diseases. Even if prostitution is legalized the danger will still exist. The danger of prostitution can’t be removed, because the act of prostitution is…

The ancient Romans have many achievements. Some of these achievements have positively affected our society today. Three of these achievements have to do with roads, architecture, and technical advances. One of the three achievements are their roads. Without the roads, the Romans would get stuck in mud. Once they made the roads, they would not get stuck in the mud. We followed their example and created roads. Romans created roads so that they would have something to drive on. We…

Q3: Do you agree with Pedigo that most people lack compassion for women who work in prostitution? Why or why not? I totally agree with Pedigo’s idea. People generally have negative impression to prostitution, an immoral behavior that they have agreed when they learned about the society. This opinion had been existed in human’s consciousness when human realized that the significance of propriety within their society. For those who participate in prostitution, they are tagged as the lewd by…

Radical feminists argue that majority of the time, prostitution is not a conscious and calculated choice. They say that women who become prostitutes are forced or persuaded by a pimp or by human trafficking. If they do to prostitute independently, then it is due to personal problems, like extreme poverty and lack of opportunity, or underlying problems, such as drug addiction, child sexual abuse and other factors. Radical feminists show evidence that women from the lowest socioeconomic classes,…
