Khanh Linh Nguyen

Bachelor's thesis

Abstract:

Based on the original topic “ethical questions in economic and business”, this thesis focuses on ethical aspects of the sale of sex and the regulations for sex work due to the wrongness in women prostitution. The Theoretical Part has three sections. The first part gives an overview about prostitution in which includes brief definitions of sex work, defined by different philosophers, as well as 2 types of prostitution. The second part reviews and clarifies main ethical concepts of prostitution, explains why prostitution is harmful and violated to morality. The third part provides information about four main legal approaches to prostitution, gives reasons why these laws are created, pros and cons of each jurisdiction. In the Practical Part, I use Vietnam as a case study for this thesis. This part is divided into two sections: prostitution law in Vietnam and interviews with sex workers and people from other profession. It is necessary to have a brief overlook of prostitution law in Vietnam in order to compare with other regulations in the Literature Review part. The objective point for doing interviews is also to compare practical opinions with studied concepts in the Theoretical Part. The comparison will be presented in the Results and Discussion part.
