Clip: Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)
The clip started the discussion on prostitution; I noticed the film represent prostitution as a high class job because of the way Audrey Hepburn dress style in the movie, which can be recognised in today’s society as the term ‘escort’ as there are many women in the society that earn a living working in escort agencies .
There were three questions that came up in the discussion: 1) is it prostitution to take money from someone expecting sex, but then not to supply it? 2) If it isn’t then is it more or less socially respectable? 3) If it is prostitution then how much is a reasonable charge?
In thinking about the first question some might say it can be classed as robbery as the ‘punter’ has paid but ’hasn’t received the goods’ but then again she may take the money but then she has the decision of deciding whether to take away the sex because if the ‘punter ‘can’t take no for an answer it changes to rape because the ‘punter’ may force himself on her, is rape still right in that instance?
In thinking about the second question I think that it may be socially respectable to take the money but not do the act as many people feel that prostitution is a dirty business as many do the job just to earn a living if they can’t get a ‘proper job’
In thinking about the third question I think about what I think what makes a person feel like they have to sell their body for money, think that the woman or man has less respect of their body when it comes to letting a stranger have sex with him or her in other words it can depend how much you valve your body.
