What are morals?

Grossly simplified, they are a set of standards that we use to judge our actions. These standards vary on the individual, societal, and "universal" levels.

So, the definition of morality tells us what we already know - that different people are going to come up with different answers depending on their values (and how these values collide with the values of others).

If you're writing a paper on the morality of prostitution, it's probably best to frame your argument in light of the various views (from theorists, historians, writers, etc.) that you've encountered in your readings. Of course, I'm assuming that this is for a course in which you've had sufficient access to these kinds of documents.

Sadly that's a poor assumption.

Damn Distance Ed courses.

But! I personally say no, it is not. :O

I could spend an hour ranting and raving about all this junk about how it's wrong, anti-biblical and all that stuff

Please do.


And so according to you, Morality is equated with religious beliefs.

That is correct. I find my morals (defined as: "Things imposed on you by the people that surround you while you're sill impressionable that make you feel good or bad when you take actions.") to be equivilant to my religion. The Bible tells me how I should act and respond in situations.

It is a basic Chrisitan fundamental that sex should be kept within marrige and only within marrige. Therefore, sexual intercourse (as well as masturbation and other forms of self pleasure) outside of marrige is considered a sin and therefore "immorral" to me. It's only safe to assume that prostitution (the selling of sexual intercourse for profit usually outside of a marrige and meant to be a temporary pleasure) is also a sin. That is simply what I believe.

It also goes to stand with the ten commandments. "Thou Shalt Not Covet". Prostitution, in my opinion is a type of coveting. Men or women desire a body other than their spouses (or in the case of single men/women, simply desire to have a body), which is coveting something. Breaking the commandments is also a sin, and therefore is also considered immoral to me.

So yea, I do base a lot of my moral beliefs on my religion.

However, I also have morals based on the life of Jesus Christ. True, He is in The Bible, but I consider him a role model of sorts to me. This Man did wonderful things and still does wonderful things for the world. I try to keep his moral sense in mind when I act in social situations not fully descriped in the Bible. For example, I attempt to try and not judge others on the choices they make in life (alchoholism, homosexuality, ect.), and only try and witness to them if they are willing to listen. So I also base a lot of my morals on religious figures.

Hope that is what you asked for. ^_^

It's the oldest profession for a reason, ne?

[Ileia]

I will ask my mother. She's the expert on prostitution.

[Fall_Child42]

"For this reason, the study of ethics is also often called "moral philosophy.""

WTF AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE THIS PAPER ON?

(I should probably just write about if it's ethical instead of moral ... because the word moral doesn't seem to have a definition thats arguable)

What are morals?

Pesky things society uses to oppress your rise to power.

It's only safe to assume that prostitution (the selling of sexual intercourse for profit usually outside of a marrige and meant to be a temporary pleasure) is also a sin.

But what if the prostitution is WITHIN a marriage?

Example: a wife offers her husband sex in exchange for him to fix the roof or something. Prostitution? Yes.

But is it a sin?

Touche...

However, a sin is defined as something that makes you farther away from God.

If you are having sex with your wife inside of your marrige, and there is some sort of payment involved, and as long as it does not make you farther away from God, then no, it's not a sin.

And of course, we have the idea that while things are a sin, they are also capable of being forgiven. That is the difference, however, between religion and morality. While morals usually have a social consequence, religious based morals can be forgiven. Remember, Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. However, Jesus forgave her for her choices in life.

We also have the biblical tale of the woman who had an affair in her marrige. She therefore was brought before Christ. During those days, it was a law that fornicators out of marrige were to be stoned to death. They told Jesus what she had done, and then asked what he thought they should do. He then said, "Let the man who hath not sinned throw the first stone".

@Fall: Why don't you actually tell us your full essay topic (I'm sure it's more than just that one sentance).

What, if anything, is morally wrong with prostitution? Should there be laws that regulate prostitution, and if so what sort of laws (for example, like tobacco laws, a ban on advertising, a minimum age for users, or like medical laws, regulation of who, where, and when, ec.)?

Dar you go.

I don't like the fact Morals are equated with legality ... and I'm pretty sure that he meant that just as an example.
