Abstract
The writer of this paper analyzes the growing problem of the sex trade industry in America as well as around the world. This paper details the sex trade problem in Asia in which over one million girls are reported to be working working as child prostitutes in brothels. The problem, however, is not confined to Asia alone but is manifested in a flourishing global sex trade or trafficking of children from one country to another and within national borders for the purposes of sexual exploitation. This paper discusses the illegal activity that takes place by international crime rings taking women and children captive with the aim of selling them as sex slaves. The writer also discusses the large amounts of money that are generated in the illegal sex trade industry. The trafficking of humans has grown so large in proportion that it is projected to be the world's most lucrative illegal activity with profits topping $7 billion annually. This paper delves into the criminal nature of the global sex trade in children that is further accentuated by the fact that most of these children are from underdeveloped countries and/or the poorer sections of society.
From the Paper
"Girl children are particularly vulnerable because they are forced to have repeated sex before their bodies have been prepared for it by nature. This results in physiological problems such as the tearing of flesh, which then becomes a breeding ground for sexually transmitted diseases. These unfortunate children are also exposed to the danger of AIDS that may end up endangering their very lives. Indeed, as Poulin and O'Grady point out, HIV is rampant among prostitutes all over the world. The female gender, as already observed, is particularly vulnerable, and this vulnerability only increases considering that, the global sex trade is more skewed towards the abducting of women. So much so, that Poulin terms it as feminization of migration, although he uses the term to signify the illegal trafficking of women for purposes of labor and sexual exploitation."

From the Paper
"In India, the two main routes of infection are heterosexual contact and drug use. AIDS infections began spreading rapidly in India in the late 1980s and early 1990s. However, the response was slow. Officials were reluctant to admit AIDS was in India. For example, by 1991 only 1,254 AIDS cases were formally reported to WHO for the whole of Asia. However, the true figures were likely ten times as high. In the early 1990s, it began to seem that India and Thailand were the two Asian countries with the highest infection rates."

Subculture. Risks involved (exposure, police) and reward (sexual satisfaction). Faults author's controversial research strategy (posing as a deviant to obtain information) & his methodology as violations of the freedom & privacy rights of his subjects, and as lacking depth. Praises book for its enlightening perspective.
From the Paper
"In Tearoom Trade: Impersonal Sex in Public Places, Laud Humphreys redefined the sociology of deviance by showing that men from mainstream society were the main participants of a highly deviant activity?impersonal sex in restrooms dubbed the tearoom (Rainwater in Humphreys, 1975, p. xiii). Unlike prevalent conceptions of deviant acts as belonging solely to a deviant subculture, such as the gay culture, tearoom sex involves men who are married and live with their wives (Humphreys, 1975, p. 105).
Depending on how far their deviant behavior deviated from the rest of their lives, these men faced different risks by participating in tearoom sex. Therefore, Humphreys (1975) discovered that married men with a respectable position in mainstream society compensated for their deviant behavior by..."

Free Trade vs. Managed Trade, 2002.
A comparison of free trade to managed trade in today's global economy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the values of free trade to managed trade. It begins by defining trade and identifying the ideal trade. The paper argues that free trade is the best policy to increase prosperity and equality in a capitalist society. It describes managed trade as the current situation, as tariffs and trade policy try to create fair grounds for commerce between two nations, as seen through the example of Japan and the United States. The writer states that protectionist policies, as used in managed trade, have been the anthem of the past and have led to war and conflict.
From the Paper
"Trade is the exchange of goods and services between two countries. In order for trade to be successful, both sides must perceive that they benefit from the exchange, or the trade will not take place. In a perfect world, both parties go away from the trade happy that they have ridded themselves of something of which they have surplus, and gained something of value to them. However, in the real world, this does not happen all of the time and one party or the other walks away feeling ?cheated.?

Free Trade/ Fair Trade, 2007.
An argumentative essay on the benefits of fair trade over free trade.
2,280 words (approx. 9.1 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 70.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper describes how those that promote free trade claim that overall production and profit is the highest good, and define efficiency and success as the ability to produce great quantities and great profit with a business. Those in support of fair trade, however, point out that productivity itself is not a good, but is only useful inasmuch as it improves the lives of the mass of people. The paper examines whether
countries should be allowed to protect their industries with tariffs or control them with regulations, despite the concerns or desires of other countries.
From the Paper
"Of these two arguments, Morris' is by far the most convincing, in part because he is far more holistic in his analysis of the situation. Irwin focuses primarily on the over-all financial gains for nations, but does not specify who those gains go to. Though he seems to believe that an overall per capita increase in national product will raise national standards of living, he seldom produces evidence to this effect and does not take into consideration that what may be true for one nation, such as Japan, would not be true for another nation which was emerging from a long history of serious economic depression (such as former colonies). Moreover, he seems to confuse personal well being with the well being of the international money market."

Abstract
The textual analysis of the TV series "Trading Spaces" explores the possibility of interchanging gender roles in this home improvement showcase. A strong case is built on the unchanging male hegemony. However, the paper shows that the series does focus, in a particular way, on issues of gender and power, and especially on the supposedly changing nature of masculinity. Provides limitless examples from the show to exemplify gendered television.
From the Paper
"Since its launch in September 2000 as a late-afternoon show, Trading Spaces has regularly scored a 2 or 3 household rating in its universe in prime time, according to Neilson Media Research data, peaking one Saturday evening in April at a 3:2 for an episode featuring the Dixie Chicks. With that all-time household record for TLC, Trading Spaces also beat out all broadcast networks in delivery of adults 18-49 that night (the network regularly ranks in the top 10 of all cable networks in delivery of adults 18-49 and adults 25-54). By the conclusion of its third season, Trading Spaces will have taped 65 new episodes compared to last season?s 40, and can be seen in 70 million homes in America, and internationally in Canada, Japan, Australia, Thailand, and the Philippines (Foege)."

Abstract
This paper explains that not only are there sex trades workers from Eastern Europe who migrate to Canada by their own will but also other sex trade workers are forced by traffickers to migrate. The author points out that women from Eastern Europe choose Canada as a good country for immigration because the mass media inform them about Canada as a land of opportunities. The paper stresses that the reality is very different.
From the Paper
'Many women intentionally come to Canada each year from Eastern Europe to work in the sex trade, especially in Toronto. Other women from the same area are trafficked by criminals. I am interested in both groups, especially the women who come of their own free will. My question concerns their reasons for immigrating and their satisfaction later. I do know that the women who enter the sex trade are poor and have little or no opportunities. Sex trafficking operates two ways, both into and out of Eastern Europe. Sexual trafficking is a trap ... .'

From the Paper
"The work of Kempadoo (2004) strives toward illumination of the inner working of the sex trade in the Caribbean as related to gender, sexuality, race and work and the economics of the sex industry. According to Kempadoo (2004) generally prostitution is viewed as violence toward women however Kempadoo challenges this accepted view holding that sex for money can be oppressive but in the lives of the women in the Caribbean it may also be a provider of a form of freedom. In the work "Global Sex Workers" the various authors use the term 'sex workers' very deliberately. The view held is that criminalization of prostitution is that it results in hurting the workers themselves instead of protecting them. The authors look at prostitution from an angle that looks at the deeper morals that exist within the inner-workings of the economics of prostitution and introduces the reader to the voice of the sex workers themselves. This work provides a candid view in the reality of prostitution in the Caribbean."

Abstract
This essay takes a look at the issue of prostitution in Canada at the beginning of the 20th century. The paper points out that, in more recent years, theorists have increasingly begun to frame prostitution as a social issue, and as an occupation forced on marginalized, poverty-stricken people. However, in earlier times, it was more common to frame prostitution as a moral issue, or as a law enforcement issue. The paper ultimately attempts to show how the failure to suppress prostitution was directly linked to the failure to understand it, which in turn was based on a sexist inability to conceptualize women as subjects making choices, due to extenuating socioeconomic circumstances.
From the Paper
"Nilsen notes that in the period 1906 to 1917, most local residents of Vancouver perceived prostitutes as nothing but blight on the city, and a negative influence on property values. Unlike national reformers, they failed to see prostitutes as women for whom they should feel pity. They failed to perceive them as victims of pimps, or as victims of socioeconomic circumstances. Their response to prostitution was to draw up petitions to have it removed by stringent law enforcement. On the other hand, the National Council of Women, which in other respects was a philanthropic organization, saw the solution to prostitution as being moral education and tougher laws (Nilsen, 1980). It is suggested that, as the members of that esteemed council were all middle class women, they had never been in the situation of having to feed themselves or their children on nothing but "moral education." What is interesting to note is that although both residents and the National Council of Women were coming at the matter from different perspectives, both had a touching faith that laws could remove the problem."

Abstract
This paper looks at the combination of sex and art, looking at two poems where the poets have made an attempt to work out where sex and love connect. The erotica of Sharon Olds' poem "Sex Without Love" is explored, as well as E.E. Cummings' sensual poem "She Being Brand".
From the Paper
"Two terms seeming to often coincide, making love and poetry. The act of making love, sex, and sensuality are greatly utilized topics in writing, painting and even music. However, some may argue that this combination, sex and art, is odd in our media drenched America. Today, Eros parallels pornography and explicit sexual content, both ?located on a continuum of erotic desire and dread? (Ostriker 327). Many poets have made an attempt to conquer the tangles and complications of sex and love, drawing connections between love of bodies and love of mind, leaving the abstract to the sensuous and the logical to the emotional. Sharon Olds, author of the poem ?Sex Without Love,? presents her audience with physically and sexually charged poetry. From no angle do her poems disguise erotic desires."

Black Market Economy, 2007.

Abstract
In this essay, the writer notes that while much of this paper focuses on the economic and social costs of the sex industry in America, it cannot be ignored that the sex industry is global. The writer points out that while traditional economic discussions focus on legally traded goods and commodities, the sex industry, is one of the most lucrative industries, both in the United States and in the global economy. The writer discusses that sex workers, whether they entered into the industry willingly or by force, are predominantly composed of members of the lower and lower-middle classes. The result is that the sex trade, although a possibly lucrative source of income for female sex workers, actually reduces women's economic power. The writer concludes that furthermore, the sex trade perpetuates existing class distinctions.

From the Paper
"When people discuss the economy, the conversations generally focus on legally traded goods and commodities. However, the black and gray markets form a huge sector of the economy. Furthermore, illegally trade goods and goods that are highly linked to illegal sales have a tremendous impact on society, which may actually surpass the impact of legally traded goods. When people discuss the black market, they frequently speak of stolen items, counterfeit goods, and drugs. However, the largest segment of the black market is actually involved in the sex trade. In fact, the profit from direct traffic in human beings, literally sold into sexual slavery, rivals the profit from illegal drug sales. Once profits from other sectors of the sex trade are factored in, it becomes clear that the sex industry is the most lucrative industry in the American economy, and possibly the world economy."
