The introduction of new innovations and advanced technological methods during the Market Revolution changed the means of production and transportation for the future, creating an easily accessible and interconnected world. While people rejoice in the positive outcomes of spreading ideas, goods, and services, many overlook the harmful outcomes. Thanks to modern transportation and production mechanisms, ideas, goods and services are not the only things transported across national borders. Human trafficking, the transportation of people across international borders, increased enormously after the market revolution and continues to be a dominant issue today. Although some people cross borders in search of a better life, many people, especially women, are deceived and moved from their motherland to work in unfavorable sectors where prostitution is the most common job for these women. With the incessant growth of prostitution, the act of participating in promiscuous relationships especially for money, a debate has opened on whether prostitution should be legalized or illegalized. However, people fail to focus on the growing amount of child trafficking and prostitution caused by sex tourism. As the world exchanges knowledge, goods, and various aspects of culture due to advances in communication and transportation, the desire of nations to establish themselves as the dominant world power increases economically and politically leading to wealth disparity among nations. Furthermore, corporate greed to maximize profit has stimulated the movement of labor out of the home country in search of cheaper sources of labor in developing or underdeveloped countries, further skewing the distribution of wealth. The growing income inequality between the rich and the poor in these nations is due to the rise of industrial capitalism
