discussion

Prostitution is a phenomenon which appeared with the birth of human history. Sexual desire of human being appeared quite a long time ago as an action of prostitution. Globally the size of prostitution market has grown daily while in Korea, recognizing it unethical as well as enactment of law of prohibiting prostitution has located the business underground. On the contrary, quite many countries in Europe have legalized the prostitution for the purpose of eradicating the harmful effects by protecting and managing those who work in prostitution business. Also in Korea, as statistics show that the number of prostitution actually increased after the enactment of prohibiting law, discussion on legalization of prostitution has been brought up again. Can legalization of prostitution reduce the negative sides of prostitution?

pros opinion

a. Legalization of prostitution enables systematic management and protection by leading the prostitution market to the sunny spot.

Stronger prohibition on prohibition will push the market into even darker spot. The price to maintain it in such spot will be increased. Legalization enables the government to systematically monitor those who work in prostitution business, improving general problems including protecting their human rights and working environment.

b. Legalization of prostitution can improve the negative image.

Legalization of prostitution will improve the negative acknowledgement of those who work in the prostitution business. It can ensure women’s self-decision right and respect their occupations which they choose. Respecting one’s right leads to granting responsibility; by collecting their taxes, the budget can be increased.

cons opinion

a. Legalization of prostitution is an action of merchandizing one’s sexual identity.

Sex of human being cannot be used as business under any circumstance for any reason. It is an action that damages one’s dignity; selling and buying one’s sexual identity or sexual relationship economically. Furthermore, legalizing such action is unjust action which merchandizes one’s sexual identity and sexual relationship.

b. Legalization of prostitution results in diminished women’s right and dignity.

Legalization of prostitution cannot protect women who work in prostitution. It rather will degrade women into the tools of relieving one’s sexual wants. Moreover, it will result in the surge of mammonism in that you can buy or attain anything with money.

prostitution inevitably involves the instrumental and immoral treatment of others, toleration of prostitution involves the toleration of immoral behaviour. Society should uphold moral values by banning prostitution.

Although prostitution is banned by law, prostitution is carried out by underground business as it is stated on the discussion section. So just banning the prostituion will NOT end the prostitution itself and plus to that, occurance of prostitution in the underground cannot be controlled by legal athorities which is even worse.

You should provide the alternative treatment for the problem of ‘immoral behaviours’ which cannot be stopped by just banning prostitution.

I think controlled and regulated prostitution can have some . First, I believe important to understand that some of the women that are involved in prostitution are not always the victims of forced sexual labor that many make them out to be – rather, they are actively and willingly involving themselves in the business because it is a means for them to gain income. Providing a legal context within which they can freely ‘work’, earn income, and pay taxes (since taxation is a natural step in legalizing prostitution – anyone earning income through a job should be taxed) can help protect women who wish to work in the prostitution business.

Second, I believe that legalizing prostitution can help the government create a much more safer work environment for the women involved. The legalization of prostitution would lead to prostitution becoming an officially recognized job/business of sorts, meaning that regional governments/law enforcement departments should natrually gain the right to regulate the market for prostitution. This would ensure that prostitution businesses will have to abide by existing and soon-to-be-enacted laws (sexual protection, fair treatment of women etc.) This will make the market for prostitution much more safer.

In cases of countries that legalized prostitution, it is stated that the rate of crimes related to that of the human sex significantly decreased. Korea needs change. Other than just illegalizing and hiding the fact of prostitution, we can legalize it and make a more open world, which will gradully lead to less crime.

what the…legalization of prostitution does not reduce any ‘sex related crime’. I don’t know where you got it from, but that is a completely false statement. in fact, it make things even worse as the human traffickers and other related criminal organizations are able to freely enter the country without any legal problems. not to mention the increase of the demand for prostition as it encourages men to buy women for sex in a wider and more permissible range of socially acceptable seetings.

what i would suggest for a solution is to reinforce police investigation of underground illegal prostitution and forster the social consensus that prostitution is sexual exploitation of the socially and financialy deprived.
