Children in war

We cant claim that the sex trade is bad, that child pornography is wrong and that using women as a commodity is sick and think that because of our views and our views alone it will stop happening. In his article called Visible Wars and Invisible Girls: Shadow industries and the politics of not knowing Nordstrom writes about Shadow industries. Prostitution and Porn are included in these types of mulit-billion dollar industries that lie beneath the surface of our society, lurking in the shadows.  Laws against these activities may help cut down on the activities but without cutting the demand we cannot cut the supply.The use of child pornography and prostitution is prevalent in war but the fact is, is that it does not only occur in war.  Nordstrom states that children are abused as a terror tactic, as a "social political" method as well as just because they can be.  Just because we have the power to abuse them we do.  War occurs for the same reason, one country will attack another because the other by nature isn't equal in power.  This would mean that conflict doesn't arise because two countries are competing for scarce resources, like conflict theory teaches us.
