i believe that opportunity is like the holy grail of life, and lack of it is likewise the root of evil. Even in a developed and powerful nation like the USA, many people do not have vast opportunity available to them. Many primary schools are sub par, setting children out already behind and ill -prepared. Even those that get collage scholarships and a mountain of debt, aren't guaranteed good jobs. Yes, It is true to expect that even if all people had opportunity for great jobs with upward mobility, some individuals would still choose the fast money alternatives of a life in crime or sex work. But i would argue that the numbers doing these things would be less. other than the sociopaths, most crime is a direct consequence of desperation, which is itself the human price of limited opportunity. I would venture to say that given access to higher education and other means to gain a comfortable living as a single mother, while still having time available to raise her children, then a large percentage of the women doing sex work wound elect to not have to go to out night after night after night, and subject themselves to the physical and psychological scars of constant intimate contact with strangers, many of whom are especially undesirable objects of affection. All of you know people that work jobs that are miserable or demeaning in some way, because it is the best income opportunity they have available at the time. I strongly feel that it is grossly unfair to demean and stereotype all women in such a situation as having or even worse, embracing poor character traits and lack of motivation. i also feel that it is shortsighted to quickly judge how a person uses their resources, when they are in a such a situation. Because people must find ways to cope with personal challenges through self-therapy. In a culture like DR where such a high focus is placed on physical appearance and personal grooming, it is not hard to understand why so much is spent on themselves, after all, their clothing, accessories, phones, and personal grooming are also all business expenses to increase their demand. Also in light of drug use, just as we all turn to medications to aid in our personal torments, why should we choose to demean someone else for choosing a different drug to ease theirs. Many families in this world eat because of sex work, and it has a very high cost on the laborers both physically and emotionally. Honestly, how individual drugs are classified is sadly the jurisdiction of politics and whom is collecting the profits.
