2. Is female prostitution more or less acceptable than its male counterpart?
3. Do prostitutes have rights? Is an organization like ProCon.org (http://prostitution.procon.org/ ) legitimate? Why or why not?

Question 2:

1. Define pornography in everyday language and discuss what it means to them.
2. What are some steretypes and stigmas
3. How can pornography be harmful?
