Thesis: There are numerous ethical arguments in which have been conducted within the past years in regards to the topic of pornography. Some state that it is just a moral boundary that has been crossed by those in the society who are interested in watching as well as performing within the porn shows. While proceeding within numerous views of pornography, it comes to pose a critical debate in how the society deals with it on an ethical way.

“Arguments over pornography raise a number of ethical issues. Pornography has been harshly criticized for how it is produced and the images of women it endorses. Some, in contrast, regard theconsumption of pornography as a "victimless crime," and believe that, because it does not harm others, it should not be restricted extensively”(Mosser,2013).The advancement of technology somehow helped the porn industry to proliferate even more. It can be accessed at the internet anytime and there are sites that provide it for free. It can be bought as a DVD which can be watched at home, it can also be a magazine carried anytime in anywhere. The widespread availability of pornography makes it hard to regulate them. This is one evident reason why there are people who are addicted to pornography. Pornography can be shown through variety of media. It may be in the form of animation, photography, printed literature, the internet, sculptures, sound material, movies, videos, video game, and cellular phone programs. Like Al- Fadhli and al. stated,

    In “Internet Addiction,” Greg Beato explains that internet addiction is, in fact, real, and we need to act. Beato claims that 3 to 6 percent of internet users are addicted, and “we check our emails more often than necessary.” Over the coming years, internet addiction may grow more than any other addiction because of the constant improvement of technology if we do not act. Beato also included in his writing that “the introduction of flat monthly fees, online gaming, wide spread pornography, Myspace, YouTube, Facebook, WIFI, iPhones, netbooks, and free return shipping on designer shoes with substantial markdowns does not seem to have made the internet any more addictive than it was a decade ago” (214, 215). I disagree with Beato because the fact is,

  • Summary: The New Face Of Porn

    It is a subject that is often considered private, and an inappropriate subject to discuss publicly. Studying sexual habits and depictions of sex, provides insight into a significant characteristic of culture. In studying porn (a consequential aspect of cultural ideologies surrounding sex), as Alison Lee has in her article The New Face of Porn, we can observe how sex is packaged, perceived, and sold, in this culture. Lee describes her experience working in the porn industry and how it changed her, “seeing the world of Big Porn showed me that not only are women left out, but men are presented with an incredibly bland palate to work from and to mold their own sexuality.”(Lee). If the options that heterosexual women have for pornography are limited and the options for men are ‘bland’ then it suggests that sexuality is flat.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Censorship Of Art

    1055 Words  | 5 Pages

    Censorship of the arts is a highly debated and controversial subject that deals with what artistic content is deemed acceptable or unacceptable to the public in society, as well as the limitations of practicing artists’ rights to express themselves through art. In this regard, art should be a way to express one’s own opinions, but should not be used as a vessel for insensitive or malicious intent in dealing with topics such as race and religion. In this essay, I will be discussing this and two other reasons as to why artists should not be given absolute freedom in creating their artworks. These other reasons are that art may also cause controversy within society when dealing with topics unaccepted by conservative members of the public, such as political views that go against the norm, as well as shocking or, to some, disturbing content such as intense or extreme gore and nudity. While these are some reasons why art censorship can be justified, I will also be discussing a counter-argument to these reasons, which is that society should not shoot down views and opinions based solely on a minority that does not approve of them.
