Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject History - World History - Modern History, grade: 1,0 (A), Rutgers The State University of New Jersey, course: Topics in Modern History: Modern Slavery, language: English, abstract: This paper, largely compiled from original research, demonstrates the ease of exploitation of women as victims of the sex industry and the sex trafficking industries via the internet. It details how easy it is for a person to exploit and dehumanize women, and how it more easily facilitates the spread of sex trafficking victims.The Internet is a seething maelstrom of ideas: media, images, stories, sites and everything else imaginable. The greatest works of art can be found online, the histories of nations are diligently recorded for study, and yes, you can even order pizza online and have it delivered to your home.Is it so surprising that the Internet also serves as a vehicle through which human beings are sexually exploited? Really, it oughtn't be. Considering that hardly a month goes by without at least ten news stories about internet pedophiles and sexual predators - but that's not the only sort of sexual exploitation on the web. The Internet is also being used to connect exploiters with the victims of human trafficking in a way that reduces their humanity to little more than a spreadsheet of sexual charged attributes. The Internet has allowed the sexual exploiters of women unfettered access to thousands of potential clients while shielding those consumers from the moral and ethical ramifications of their actions by portraying their exploitation of women as little more than an 'erotic massage'.
