Document Summary
The process by which the set of values or beliefs that bind individuals become naturalized. Beliefs and values are not natural or inherent. They come out of a cultural history. Ideologies tend to hide or mask the actual history that the values and beliefs come out of. For many women, it is an economic reality that they must resort to prostitution in order to make money. There are two different types: the good whore and the bad whore. The good whore - seen as perhaps a smart girl who has made wrong choices, or who is trying to pay their way through school ect. This type of whore usually white, hypersexualized, and higher class (such as a high paid escort or call girl) The bad whore - seen as a women of which there is something wrong with, and this is her only way to make money. Usually of lower class, and of an ethnic minority.
