Soapstone: Occasion
Speaker:
- Continuing the usual speaker trend, Nicholas Kistof, voices his opinion about infamous sex trafficking and its customers. Kristof never fails to provide his readers with a fair balance of opinion and fact, sounding polished and educated.
Occasion:
- Sex trafficking has unfortunately existed for centuries. This illegal and immoral form of commerce has plagued our society, constantly making men and women succumb to temptation. Society often ridicules the prostitutes instead of the “customers” and “employers”. What we fail to realize is that some girls do not have a choice but to sell their bodies. Kristof references a 14 year old girl forcefully sold into sex after running away from home. In writing this OP-ED, Kristof offers a solution that has slowly been taking effect. Instead of solely punishing prostitutes and “pimps” the authorities should punish their customers as well. His reason for writing about such a wicked topic is to not only warn those who solicit the human right abuse, but to remind his readers (and America) of their founding morals. Temptation easily consumes the average individual, and Kristof’s pieces effectively snap the reader into reality to see the flaws in society in hopes of eventually finding cures to this plague.
Audience:
- Kristof states that “15 percent of American men have bought sex”. Consider the male population of the United States; fifteen percent is not miniscule. Kristof writes, possibly indirectly, to men who purchase sex. His critical tone suggests so. Kristof also writes to authority figures so they will consider the logical solution to human trafficking.
Purpose:
- Kristof wants his audience to not only feel guilt (to whomever it may apply), but a sense of responsibility for their actions as customers, and a society that has not solved this issue. It also provides a sense of urgency, especially at the end when he talks about families being negatively affected when the husband (or maybe wife) supports prostitution.
Subject:
- The topic of this OP-ED is about the human right abuse with sex trafficking and how to terminate the business. He explains the precautions that are arising to stop human trafficking. What's
Tone:
- Kristof reflects a erudite, forthright, and critical tone. He avoids “beating around the bush” and approaches the situation with a collection of facts and credible sources and anecdotes. Kristof starts out his writing with a common scenario in Chicago.
