Believe: I am a young women in the modern world, therefore allowing me to sympathize with women and men who are slaves to sex trafficking. Because I am an American I understand how important our sports are to us and how many men and women travel to watch the large events. This makes me sympathetic towards the sex tourism around large sporting events such as the Super Bowl, and I understand how many men travel each year to witness it. Human trafficking doesn't feel like a large part of my day to day life, but once sport season rolls around I hear of the Super Bowl town hiring extra cops to keep the sex trade down as much as possible. My compassion for women and sex tourism leads me to believe that sporting events largely increase the issue.
Doubting: Because human trafficking isn't a part of my daily life I don't always understand the full implications it has on the lives of many men and women in the world. I think that it happens year round regardless of events, and don't see how traveling for sports could be fueling it. I forget how easy my life is in comparison, which leads to me making assumptions about how the trade really works.
Good! Keep researching!!
