Dating agencies

Husbands

A dating agency is a business which acts as a service for matchmaking. A dating agency can be a "real" business where men and women come in person and ask a matchmaker to help them find a potential partner. It could also be an internet dating agency - a website where people register, post their profiles and contact other members of the agency.

Prostitution

Prostitution is the sale of sexual services. A person selling sexual services is a prostitute, a type of sex worker. In a more general sense of the word, anyone selling his/her services for a cause thought to be unworthy can be described as prostituting him/herself. In the United Kingdom a prostitute might be considered as any individual, "who allows his/her body to be used for lewd purposes in return for payment".

International trade

Canal_de_Panamá

International trade is the exchange of goods and services across national borders. In most countries, it represents a significant part of GDP. While international trade has been present throughout much of history (see Silk Road, Amber Road), its economic, social, and political importance have increased in recent centuries, mainly because of Industrialization, advanced transportation, globalization, multinational corporations, and outsourcing. In fact, it is probably the increasing prevalence of international trade that is usually meant by the term "globalization".
