individuals—we interact with others to develop and internalize a set of shared morals, customs, and habits. Sociology, the systematic study of human society, helps us understand these developments. In particular, applying the sociological imagination to the social construct of gender yields insight into its fallacy and utility. In this essay, I examine the difference between sex and gender, the pervasiveness of gender, and its societal implications in the United States. I also make connections…
attention to the people. The people who worked the district of Storyville and now work Bourbon Street. Correction, the women, the sex workers who have either chosen the dancer lifestyle or it has been chosen for them. According to the National Human Trafficking Hotline in 2017, Louisiana had 84 out of 107 cases that were classified as sex and labor and sex trafficking (National Human Trafficking Hotline).

Sex is part of life for most, but not all, people. While sex, sexuality, sexual expression, and sexual interests change between cultures and individuals, what we might broadly call sexual behavior is common.

The statement is clear but can also be interpreted in different ways. Humans have been constantly evolving but the common ancestral genes that we share with the apes, shows us that we have a lot of similarities but also differences too.
