Document Summary
Rosemarie tong: society that you can interfere with individual liberty to prevent imperial behavior (means congenital morality, objection free market, appeal to tradition (relativistic) Tong points out: myth of thinking there is a shared set of values in a society such as ours. So much disagreements where the hell is shared value: even if there was a commitment does not follow if you act outside them society will crumble. Paternalistic objection: not going to have prostitution because it"s bad for the prostitute. But if an individual is informed it is their business (violates liberty got to let people have their own life) Marxist objection: prostitution is a clear example of wage labor exploitation. People who hook tend to be poor people. Prostitution ought to be understood in the socioeconomic context in which it occurs: ingenious form of exploitation, ericson"s response.
