While reading and listening to the interview of Human Trafficking and The Terrible Price Of Sex I am reminded of how inhumane human beings have turned out to be. Although the bible dictates that we must care for the widow, orphan, alien and the oppressed most people take advantage of these groups of people. Mimi Chakarova’s interview is a reflection of how people have become insensitive, lack compassion and instead allow their greed to control them. Chakarova describes the depreciating conditions that women and children in Eastern Europe are exposed to. The women being addressed in the reading and podcast are prime examples of vulnerable people in the society who are taken advantage of and abused.
The society has become desensitized and lack empathy towards the underprivileged, minority and vulnerable individuals in the society. The incidents explored in Human Trafficking and The Terrible Price Of Sex reveal how human beings are willing to hurt others so long as they can protect their interests.For instance Chakarova explains that the pimps that deceive the women and sell them to work as prostitutes take advantage of their desperation and lie to them. The pimps use their position of power to ensure that the women do not break away from their control by imposing additional fees that the women have to pay.

The bible urges us to follow the example of God as “He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing” (Deutronomy 10:18). From this scripture we are reminded of the mercies that God shows us, which we should emulate by being compassionate as opposed to taking advantage of the vulnerable. This contrast s with what the pimps are doing; they first deceive the women by lying to them about securing decent jobs for them in foreign nations, only to end up selling them as sex workers. The pimps use the vulnerability of the women to enrich themselves. Overall the article and podcast remind us of the injustices that exist within our societies and the responsibility we have as humans “to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world" (James 1:27).
