"Mail order bride" and "female escorts" are very emotional phrases that automatically comes with a negative connotation. Well, as we see its effects in our modern world, we could say that they have almost same impacts on the so called prostitution, namely in cyber industries. Thus, we can say that they are unethical.But for "Mail order bride" do we really know why and when did such phrase came to pop-up beyond our naked mind? Is it ethical or not?
As a quick visit from the past during the 16th century men from a certain town in Virginia happened to outnumber their women. At that time marriage was so important to them. So, a wise man came up to an idea of shipping single women from London in return for payment in tobacco for the women's passage to America. Those women were not forced. So, that's how "Mail order bride" started.
Well, if we look at the state of "Mail order bride" at that time we can not really say that it is unethical because we can see that everything happened fairly to fullfill men from Virginia and women from London's demands for having fulltime partners in life. It is really in the mere fact that ethics change with time.
So, to get to the point, here are ethical questions that I am going to clear out in my own perspective.
What are the ethical issues that seem to enslave this growing industry?
Is there much of a difference between the mail order brides industry or companies that provide escort services versus meeting someone over the Internet in a chat room?
Does this industry differ much from arranged marriages that take place in some cultures?
Or in the case of "female escorts", does this differ from prostitution?
