THIS IS ASSIGNMENT 14

Melissa Grant in "The War on Sex Workers" and Janice Raymond in Ten Reasons for Not Legalizing Prostitution have very different perspectives on legalizing sex work.

In this assignment, you will defend an analysis as to who has the stronger argument.

For the purposes of this assignment, take two of Raymond's ten arguments that you believe Grant grapples with directly (as opposed to those arguments where Raymond and Grant talk past each other).

Then, considering just those two arguments, answering the following question:

Which side has the better argument and (far more importantly) why? 

Be specific and do not simply repeat the argument of your preferred side but should instead assess the relative merits of both sides.

Your response should take the form of four to six carefully constructed cl/ev/wa paragraphs that follow the instructions in the gray box below.

As always, your CLAIM is the answer to the question and claims, as we have discussed, are stronger if they contain a reason (e.g., "Raymond has the stronger argument because....")

To be clear, since you are taking two of Raymond's arguments; you should have 2 or 3 paragraphs per argument from Raymond for a total of of four to six paragraphs.
