Interaksi Simbolik Pekerja Seks Komersial High Class di Kalangan Mahasiswa Kota Padang
Abstract: This paper is the
result of research in Padang, West Sumatra, about sex business which is done by
female college students who continue their study in this city. TThrough the
research, it could be revealed that they become prostitutes not only because of
economic factors but also because of their own need. Interpersonal
communication in the form of persuasive communication and showing their
trademark symbols both verbal and non-verbal are performed in order to attract
their male customers. However, these high class prostitutes communicate
differently when they play their role as female college students. Their
symbolic interactions when become students are very much different from their
night life. At campus, they only wear casual clothes, show casual appearance,
and tend to choose certain people to be their friends. In addition, these kinds
of students are still motivated to continue and finish their study. They do it
not only for their own prestige but also for fulfilling their family demand to
be educated intellectuals in the future.
