As sex trafficking around the world has become increasingly more common it has rose to my attention and interest. It intrigues me to find girls my age, and even younger, to be sold into a life of unhealthy and dangerous sex. This topic puts my life in great perspective and I look forward to learning more about it and what can be done to help the horrors of this come to an end.
Currency - Is enough happening or changing for this subject so that tracking will seem worthwhile and interesting?
As of now, law enforcement is doing everything they can to end this crime. Unfortunately though, it will take years and hundreds of more attempts to ever end it completely, and even then it will most likely continue. There is constantly new cases found of these events happening across America and beyond to add to my report and increase my knowledge on the topic.
Information available – Am I going to find lots of interesting information on this subject in many places? Will it be easy to find?
As these lawful acts are becoming more common the reporting and news on them has rose as well. Thus I so far have not had any trouble finding information. So far I haven’t even just found news stories but also facts, opinions, history, even movies, pictures, and songs all about this horrible sport like crime that is being committed on our future.
Ongoing – Will this issue, person, or topic provide a basis for ongoing research? Will time make a difference or will the information be static?
As of now the information about this topic has been relatively static. New facts and news is found often, but it is not very often anything we haven't seen before. Although this is true, this does not make the topic unable to be researched throughout the year and continue on being interesting, entertaining, and intriguing.
Challenging – Will this issue, person, or topic stretch me and force me to think in new ways?
As I have not done any research on this in my previous lifetime as well as the fact that I have not had any life experiences such as this, this topic will stretch me to look at the world in different ways. I look forward to having to expand my mind to understand the ins and outs of this world and how it could come to be in our time.
