The discussion was raised today whether or not the government was ultimately to blame for not doing enough or making it too easy for the trafficking of females for sex. Some of these women were openly tricked or kidnapped and others were more or less willingly exploited. I would like to discuss the ones who are willing exploited. In other words they made the decision themselves or maybe were even pushed in that direction, but not by force. For example some young women or girls went to Bangkok to work as prostitutes in order to escape their horrible neglected situation at home, and others in order to help support the family back home. Now, if the governments in some of these countries were not so oppressive these young girls would not feel the need to be put into these situations. Even if the people wanted to mobilize and help change the government's involvement, they do not really have anyone to turn to, or in some cases they could be killed for causing problems, as is the case in Myanmar (Burma). So from this perspective the government is the problem, and there is not much the people can do about it. As for society, we might say that it is times like this when people need to hunker down, get close as a family and community, and not fall into the pitfalls of despair and drugs. As we noticed from the film it is obviously not the wealthy areas were these problems lie. Seems just like in the USA, a socioeconomic problem as well, but of course we have it much better off.

Let me draw an analogy, but not a close one. The United States, in my opinion has become a super-sexed country. Look at all the sex that is on television these days. Look at how the women dress and are portrayed in these reality shows. These our not the best example of our society, and I would argue some of the worst, but we allow this trash to be shown to our unsuspecting youth on a daily basis. Society allows it and so does the government. Sure we can choose to turn it off, but the reality is that in many homes we have latch-key kids or no parental role model to make sure this is done. The result we have today is young girls dressing and acting like, how can I put it lightly, sluts. The boys learn that this is the way girls are to behave, and in like, behave like uncivilized Neanderthals ready to whack them on the head, and drag them by their hair to who knows where. If we as a society don't draw the line somewhere and force the government to draw it with us, how will we end up?
