Ethical Issues and Prostitution

When we hear the word Prostitution,the first thing comes to our mind is those people specially women who engage in activity which they are selling their bodies to people specially men in exchange of goods or money. Prostitution is existing since before in Europe, those ladies are giving happiness to them and by exchange they are getting paid or soemhow not cause they are sometimes abused. Prostitution is an act that we can totally see that it's an act of immorality which means it is wrong and against the law of human and law of God. Somehow, we can't bake those people why they engage on those kind of activity. We humans have what we called choice and act, they tend to choose the world of that immoral act that's why they gonna are are action out of it however every actions have equal and opposite reaction it means there's a consequences they need to face. Sometimes those prostitutes can get fast money in just one night however there's unfortunate prostitutes that been molested and abused if they won't do the things that their customer wants.

The world of Prostitution is too dangerous yet there are lots of women choosing to enter on it due to power of money. Sometimes there are people who had reasons why they enter in Prostitution, one of those reason is to fulfill their own desires. Those prostitutes are exhausted in life which they didn't acquire the things that riches have that's why they think that one one engage on Prostitution then it's their chance to buy the things they want using the money they will earn. Another reason is due to poverty and unemployment, in Philippines this is the main reason why people enter in the world of Prostitution, poverty pressures them to gamble in this kind of illegal activity just to fulfill their crumbling stomachs, they are ready to neglect their dignity and principles abuse they don't have any choice. In exchange of that, they will be hate by society, people look at them as trash and they don't need to be respected cause at first they didn't respect themselves. Now, I'm gonna relate this topic on different ethical issues and determine different views of people about Prostitution.

Emotivism

From the root word itself emote which means a person is judging the situation base on his or her feelings and not by the facts. It means we humans are capable of voicing out our opinion thru our feelings. Let's relate this on Prostitution. As an emotivist and you saw a prostitutes then maybe you can feel like that person is doing that activity for the money, you'll maybe feel angry cause he or she didn't find any good job in order to sustain her needs but he or she choose the easiest way to earn money somehow it's immoral while other person might say that they understand why that person engage on Prostitution cause the life pressures them to engage on it, a person is putting himself on that situation in order to feel what the prostitutes feel. Everyone of us have different reasoning on situation and sometimes we judge and sometimes we understand why they do that cause we are basing on our feelings, however Prostitution is wrong, it's an immoral act and never should be tolerated.

Moral Empiricism

When we say the word empiricism, it means that a person is judging the situation base on his or her experience. They are the one who already encounter the situation that's why they have the power to tell what's right and wrong. In topic Prostitution I'll give an example, have you watched Rated K before regarding a girl which engaged on Prostitution however she changed for the betterment when she met the love of her life. She told in interview that she was engage on Prostitution so that she can fulfill her own desires specially money and buy the things that she want, however she got gang raped and she was helpless, she tried asking help to many people and to police but people only see her as a prostitutes, her credibility and integrity already lost and people even hardly believe if she totally got raped. The time has come that she changed herself together with her boyfriend, I'm glad that she's now an active advocate of spreading awareness against Prostitution and educating students specially ladies about the effect of engaging on those immoral activities. As we can see on example, the girl already knew that Prostitution is wrong cause she already experienced it and doesn't want to engage on it again.

Moral Rationalism

When we say Rationalism it's more on reasoning but not equal in gathering facts before giving reasons. Which means those rationalist are only giving their opinion base on whatthey think and saw. It's actually the reciprocal of empiricism which empiricism talks about experience while Rationalism talks about reasoning without experience. When we talk about Prostitution, those rationalist people are often telling their thoughts without any facts, they are just telling that prostitutes have no dignity and they are entering in world which their dignity and credibility is gone, they won't get respected. Those are the words that a rationalist can say.
