Part One
My case study is in sex work, or rather prostitution, in Nevada state, and my client is Marc McAndrew, a photographer. According to the case study, Marc McAndrew’s photography could have been presented with the following resources to enable him to carry out the research comprehensively. He could have been presented with a camera and a video where he could take photos and record information on sex workers and the idea behind how a woman starts engaging in sexual hawking and becomes a prostitute. Another resource is financial to cater for his trips from one brothel to another to gather a lot of information and get the analysis of the whole research on sex work from different areas (Forman, M. 2017). Also, the writing materials to take notes on information from the sex workers during the interview may help in clarification and also be used as a reference for studies in schools on immortality. This paper summarizes a case study on sex hawking in Nevada state by Marc McAndrew.
Part Two
Topic: Prostitution in Nevada
My main client is a photographer by the name of Marc McAndrew, who was researching issues of prostitution in Nevada City. In his research, he used a camera to take photographs in Brothels where he was gathering information on sex work (Forman, M. 2017). I also like making trips from one state to another to explore the city. Also, the photographer used to rent rooms close to brothels with sex workers for five years. I decided to concur with this client since he took five years to research prostitution and hence had gained a lot of experience and, on top of it, the evidence in the form of photographs, which he presented to me for clarification. Marc was able to gather all information about sex work, research in detail, and analyse, hence coming up with concrete details on prostitution. He explored more than one brothel to come up with comprehensive details.
In my case study, I encountered several themes, which are outlined below and which incorporate Marc McAndrew’s research. The first one was the theme of poverty or financial constraints, where most of the women would work as sex workers to earn money for their upkeep and survival. Lack of employment leads to desperation in life, which triggers these women to engage in antisocial behaviour such as prostitution for their upkeep or even to sustain their kind. Marc says this Brothel is owned by people and claims that it is a business like any other business despite being illegal and immoral in society.
Another theme is about immorality. It is a negative behaviour, such as selling your body in exchange for money or enjoyment in prostitution. In many societies, sex work is regarded as immoral and antisocial behaviour and is disregarded and prohibited. According to Marc, some of the women are not desperate financially, but they do sex work as a form of enjoyment and satisfaction. He continued to say that most of the women he met in the brothel were married or even had kids but still involved themselves in immoral behaviour.
Also, the theme of marriage is well outlined in the case study where referring to Marc in the process of his research, he discovered most of these women were either married, had kids or had husbands. Marriage is a companionship of two people, but most of these women practice prostitution even in the marriage relation (Killermann, S. 2017). Most of these women leave their families and visit brothels in search of enjoyment or maybe financial gain. According to Marc, most of these brothels are even carried out by married couples who are assumed to be a business like any other.
In conclusion, prostitution is a projecting antisocial behaviour in Nevada but is still being carried out in some areas in the states. Women, as a gender, are the people who are most affected by society. Themes of immorality, marriage, and poverty have well been elaborated in this case study by the researcher Marc McAndrew to further discuss issues of prostitution.
