Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Philosophy - Miscellaneous, grade: 1, Jagiellonian University in Krakow (Management), course: 10 Ideas that created Europe - Beauty. Truth. Love. Death. War. Power. Justice. Freedom. Work. Happiness, language: English, abstract: Prostitution is the world's oldest profession and a common vice in our society. Prostitution comes originally from the Latin word "prostituta" and male or female persons can practice it. Male and female practice sexual activities in exchange for money or benefits like material things or a favor. A prostitute can be a woman but also a man, regardless of their age. Some people practice it long-term and some just on short-term (InformationPalour, n. d.) Nowadays in some European countries prostitution is legal and regulated, in some legal and unregulated and in some illegal. (Marian, 2017) Germany decided for example to consider it like other professions and established regulations, that allows citizens to be employed or self-employed as prostitutes. Other countries like Hungary or Latvia have a similar model, but in these countries, brothels are for example illegal. In Spain, Portugal or Poland prostitution is legal but unregulated. Also, there are countries, where prostitution is illegal. When a person in Sweden has sex with another person in exchange for money, the paying side commit a crime not the receiving side. Reversely, we have also the case when just the prostitute commits a crime, that is for example the case in Ukraine or in Croatia. (Marian, 2017)
