Blog #9
reading annotation blog #9: Choose one story from the first 200 pgs or so and connect it to a main argument that the authors make throughout the book. Use 2-3 quotes from pgs. 100-202 to exemplify your story and/or the authors' overall argument. 2-3 paragraphs.
I chose the story "Attacking Sex Trafficking." This story talks about the struggles of modern day slavery around the world. Reverend Becca helps these victims by getting them out of the streets and their pimps, and helping them find employment by her program. The author's main argument is that modern day slavery still exists and is very much a big issue. Becca's program helps victims start their new lives and prove that change is possible. "One of the first women whom Becca helped was Clemmie Greenly, an African American woman who had been taped repeatedly beginning at the age of five and then systematically pimped from the age of twelve"(157). She made improvement and is succeeding step by step in her new life. Sex trafficking is one of the most important social justice issue to me. People are brought into forced labor as children and they don't have any other experience. It's devastating to know that there is so much work to do in this world and children who are brought into this life have a hard time to escape it. It is such a dangerous life to live since prostitutes are murdered, get diseases, and are beaten. "There's a view that the bets way to tackle prostitution is to legalize and regulate it"(158). I know in Germany prostitution and brothels are legalized.
