These are the positions that oppose my position. I am pro legalization of prostitution. 

For the three (3) premises (reasons) that oppose your position on the  issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:      What’s interesting or helpful about this view? What would I notice if I believed this view? In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”

  

Should prostitution be legal?

Melissa Farley, PhD, Research and Clinical Psychologist and Founder of the Prostitution Research & Education website, stated in her 2016 article “Very Inconvenient Truths: Sex Buyers, Sexual Coercion, and Prostitution-Harm-Denial,” available at logosjournal.com:

“The existence of prostitution anywhere is society’s betrayal of women, especially those who are marginalized and vulnerable because of their sex, their ethnicity, their poverty, and their history of abuse and neglect. Prostitution is sexual harassment, sexual exploitation, often torture. Women in prostitution face a statistical probability of weekly rape, like domestic violence taken to the extreme.
 

The complicity of governments sustains prostitution. When the sex trade expands, women are less likely to compete with men for jobs. When prostitution is incorporated into states’ economies, governments are relieved of the necessity of finding employment for women. Blood taxes are collected by the state-as-pimp in legal and decriminalized prostitution. Banks, airlines, Internet providers, hotels, travel agencies, and all media are integral to the exploitation and abuse of women in prostitution tourism, make huge profits, and are solidified as part of the economy.”

Donna Gavin, Lieutenant in the Human Trafficking Unit at the Boston Police Department, in a Mar. 23, 2015 article for bostonglobe.com titled “‘Pretty Woman’ Normalizes Something That Destroys Lives,” wrote:

“Prostitution is not a fairy tale. ‘Pretty Woman’ normalizes something that destroys lives. It glamorizes prostitution and creates an illusion that prostitution is a voluntary, desirable occupation. The film suggests that prostituted people are knowledgeable and have other options they might have chosen. The reality is that prostitution and sex trafficking make up a harmful, pervasive, illegal, and violent criminal industry involving pimps and traffickers who are tied to gangs, drugs, and street violence…
 

Now is the time to act. We need men and women to speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves. We need to attack this harmful sex industry from all sides by targeting the pimps and the traffickers, providing services and exit strategies for those being prostituted, and educating and dissuading would be buyers. We need to dissuade buyers from fueling this industry and hold them accountable when they do.”

Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States, in a May 31, 2016 article for the Washington Post titled “To Curb Prostitution, Punish Those Who Buy Sex Rather Than Those Who Sell It,” wrote:

“Some assert that this ‘profession’ can be empowering and that legalizing and regulating all aspects of prostitution will mitigate the harm that accompanies it. But I cannot accept a policy prescription that codifies such a pernicious form of violence against women. Normalizing the act of buying sex also debases men by assuming that they are entitled to access women’s bodies for sexual gratification. If paying for sex is normalized, then every young boy will learn that women and girls are commodities to be bought and sold…
 

[I]f full legalization is adopted, it will not be the ’empowered sex worker’ who will be the norm — it will be the millions of women and girls needed to fill the supply of bodies that an unlimited market of consumers will demand. Where do we think these young girls in the sex trade will come from? (Most victims are girls, though some boys are exploited, too.) It is simply naive to oppose sex trafficking of children and women and at the same time support decriminalizing the buyers who create the demand and the pimps who profit from the supply of girls and women.
 

I believe it is better to help women and girls avoid a life of prostitution and to deter men from buying sex acts.”

Course: Advanced Qualitative Research Design and Analysis

Purpose

The purposes of this assignment are to:

· Organize data.

· Memo emergent ideas.

· Describe and classify codes into themes.

· Develop and assess interpretations.

Action Items

1. Select 3–5 magazine or newspaper articles that each discuss the same topic.

2. As you read these text files, use bracketing and the types of analytic skills discussed in your reading this week to allow you to assign memos and code labels.

3. Determine what themes could be formed from the text segments assigned to the codes.

4. Using the same or compatible coding strategies, examine photos or other images associated with the articles, and allow your intellectual curiosity to address questions such as who, what, when, and why to determine what new or similar themes emerge.

5. Note: secondary research sources should be used as support throughout your paper as you deem appropriate. 

Write 3 pages double-spaced .

Follow APA guidelines for writing your paper.

See attached.

     

Histograms and Descriptive Statistics

IBM SPPS assignment includes two sections in which you will:

1. Create two histograms and provide interpretations.

2. Calculate measures of central tendency and dispersion and provide interpretations.

3. Key Details and Instructions

· Submit your assignment as a Word document.

· Begin your assignment by creating a properly formatted APA title page. Include a reference list at the end of the document if necessary. On page 2, begin Section 1.

· Write your report in narrative format, integrating your SPSS output charts and tables with your responses to the specific requirements listed for this assignment. (See the Copy/Export Output Instructions in the Resources area.)

· Label all tables and graphs in a manner consistent with APA style and formatting guidelines. Citations, if needed, should be included in the text as well as in a reference section at the end of the report.

· Refer to the IBM SPSS Step-By-Step Guide: Histograms and Descriptive Statistics (in the Resources area) for additional help in completing this assignment.

Section 1: Histograms and Visual Interpretation

Section 1 will include one histogram of total scores for all the males in the data set, and one histogram of total scores for all the females in the data set.

Using the total and gender variables in your grades.sav data set, create two histograms:

· A histogram for male students.

· A histogram for female students.

Copy the histogram output from SPSS and paste it into a Word document. Below the histograms in your Word document, provide an interpretation based on your visual inspection. Correctly use all of the following terms in your discussion:

· Skew.

· Kurtosis.

· Outlier.

· Symmetry.

· Modality.

Comment on any differences between males and females regarding their total scores. Analyze the strengths and limitations of visually interpreting histograms.

Section 2: Calculate and Interpret Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion

Using the grades.sav file, compute descriptive statistics, including mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis for the following variables: id gender ethnicity gpa quiz3 total

· Copy the descriptives output from SPSS and paste it into your Word document. Below the descriptives output table in your Word document: Indicate which variables are meaningless to      interpret in terms of mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis.      Justify your decision. Next, indicate which variables are meaningful      to interpret. Justify your decision. For the meaningful variables, do the      following: Specify any variables that       are in the ideal range for both skewness and kurtosis. Specify any variables that       are acceptable but not excellent. Specify any variables that       are unacceptable. Explain your decisions. For all meaningful variables, report and      interpret the descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, skewness,      and kurtosis).
