The above title shows just how important good grammar remains for written communication. It could read Marketing: The oldest profession in the 21C. Because marketing is an old profession, but probably not the oldest profession in this new century. Although, there are so many young kids in marketing, they might consider the last decade and a half to be a pretty long time. No, this article is about ‘the oldest profession’ of all time. That profession, which has pandered to the desires of men, outside of the institution of marriage.
Marketing the Oldest Profession in the 21C
What is happening in this new enlightened century, when it comes to the marketing of commercial sex, or sex for money, to put it more bluntly. And putting it bluntly is a relevant issue in itself, when it comes to a business historically rich in obfuscation. Perhaps, it is more true to say that the oldest profession has always employed an allusive marketing tone. The ‘oldest profession’ is an allusion in itself, as it seeks to hide the nature of the work. Escorts, ladies of the night, companions, courtesans, working girls, and even prostitute – is from the Latin ‘to set up for sale’.
Has the marketing of the oldest profession in the world changed much in the 21C? Is it coming out from behind its shady doors, its red-light district, and stating the bald and obvious? Well, pubic hair has been trimmed away from the opening and things are more easily seen these days. The Internet has been responsible for much of this heightened visibility; and many people wish it were not the case.
