Dehumanization Of Brutality

In “Shame: The emotions and morality of violence,” James Gilligan, a professor of Psychiatry at New York University, argues to make a point that shame can lead to violence in a certain amount of people. After working and interviewing with two convicts in a prison, he learns that there are three preconditions to be met before being considered violent. The first is to not show their feelings of being ashamed due to it threatening their masculinity. The second is that they can’t counteract shame with their social status, achievements, friends and family. The last is not to feel love, guilt, or fear. These preconditions make Gilligan more understanding of the inmates and their lives.

As time passes and each century evolves, the essential living ideal of many individuals has drastically changed. Due to all the different developments and findings throughout the years, when you attempt to link to the obtainability and the use of technology in a college classroom in the past, it is totally opposite. In previous instances, many were not fortunate to have any type of computer/type writer distributed in general. Technology was never really thought of during these periods as a teaching technique. Often times even TVs that were used for educational purposes had to be shared amongst a school. Of course this was a disadvantage, because in order for students to really be able to grasp and learn information, technology needed to be

Human sexuality is a common phrase for all, and anything, pertaining to the feelings and behaviors of sex for the human race. Sexuality has been a topic that has been discussed and studied for as far back as 1000 years B.C. and is still being studied today. As the discussion of sexuality has progressed through history, theories have been created based on research and experiments that scholars have implemented, based on their own perceptions of human behavior. Out of the many theories that pose to explain sexual behavior, Sexuality Now explained ten that are seemed to be the most overlapped, and built off of theories. Of these theories, two that were discussed in the text were the behavioral and sociological theory. These two theories cover some of the basic ideas of what could possibly influence a person’s sexuality.

In the recent years, the issue of police brutality has been magnified and blown up for the entire world to see. The American media and the outside world has had their finger on the button waiting for the next incident to arise. Coming from this type of publicity a movement known as "Black Lives Matter" was born. This group has become widely popular. They have used a variety of protest methods to achieve their goals. Their main goal is to create a movement that invokes changes between the relationship between police; and the African-American community.

Nevertheless, in obscene sexual materials portray certain people as mere objects and depict human relationships as one that is degrading, humiliating, victimizing and violent. This is potentially harmful because, if one is constantly exposed to certain types of

From time and time again, we all have viewed some form of violence at some point in our life, even if it was some carton like Tom and Jerry. That portrays brutality to be hysterical when on hindsight, it’s not. We need to stop the bestiality through the acknowledgement of typical causes of duress and some horrid, but learnable, experience of disturbances.

Art and pornography’s aims involve reaching different receptions. Although, the aims involve different receptions, the conflict between art and pornography is not necessarily on their receptions but rather what each aim requires to reach its reception. He argues that the two aims are conflicting aims because of the different ways the images required to complete the aims are treated. Art involves aims that require images to be treated as opaque because the involve attention to form, vehicle, medium, and manner; formal elements. While pornography involves aims that require for images be treated as transparent and therefore there is no attention to formal elements. Levinson uses erotic art as a form of art as an example to demonstrate the difference between pornography and art because their differences will not come from explicitness, or moral status but rather that can be one can be considered art and the other cannot. He distinguishes the aims between erotica, arotic art and pornography. Erotica has the aim of sexual stimulation, erotic art aims as artistic interest and sexual stimulation and/arousal, and pornography aims at sexual arousal and release. Although, both erotic art and pornography can have sexual arousal as an aim, erotic art aims at sexual arousal by primarily aiming at artistic interest, while pornography only aims at sexual arousal so

As an outspoken, light-skin, Black, female, I break a fair amount rules concerning femininity, and I choose not conform. In an academic context, a professor has told me that I am “too radical, individualized, and outspoken for a female.” My professor said this because the topics of my organizational papers were focused on the racial piece of police brutality. I was blaming the racial hierarchy of society rather than the social justice system. My thinking out of the box has always rendered me as a target. For example, since I was young, I was the topic of gossip because I did not fit society’s mold. However, if I was passive, nonchalant, or timid, I would not have many of the opportunities I worked so hard for. I became dominant by demonstrating

Violence has always been a crucial factor in many genres of cinemas and film productions. The Western genre and the film in the genre is a fascinating approach to analyze the treatment of violence. Violence in the Western genre has changed multiple times into completely different but interesting view points over the course of history. The traditional western treatment of violence is related to the myth of purgative violence, or the idea of “regeneration through violence” suggested by Richard Slotkin. In the traditional Western treatment of violence, violence is considered honored and purified because the conduction of violence eliminates and eradicates the otherness in the society and restore stability as a direct result of violence. Moving to 1960s, the trend of Western genre shifted from classical western to the theme of revisionist western. Revisionist western, unlike classical western, strongly criticizes violence. Revisionist western focuses on the lawlessness of the American west, depicts the randomness and irrationality of violence, and destroys the romanticism of violence by replacing it with a more realistic and authentic approach to the real execution and consequence of violence in the west.

The glorification of violence is present in both epics and has value to their respective societies. “Using his lance first, the Cid got his hand on the sword, he killed so many Moors you could not have counted them, the blood was streaming from the arm above his elbow.” The violence of their battles showed the value in their society of how fighting for your Lordan honorable act was and that it is expected that violence will occur. “The bishop, don Jerónimo, the mitered man of merit, when he had finished his hand-to-hand combats, he could not count the number of Moors he’d killed.” The glorification of violence is a value of the Cid society that even a clergyman had been involved in the gruesome part of war that he could no longer keep count of all those he had killed. While

The adult-entertainment industry erupted in the late twentieth century and has expanded recently due to improved technology. Millions of men and women alike watch these films and arrive to the conception that what is portrayed on the screen is how a relationship should be. In a recent article in the New York Times, it was reported that 80% of men and 50% of women feel that their sex life is lacking due to pornography, and 40% of the people within the same poll have broken up with their spouse or partner due to the “lack” of love life. Clearly, the adult entertainment gives both genders a false conception of how a relationship and sex life should be. Pornography portrays sex as overly exciting and thrilling, which can lead to dissatisfaction with one’s partner. Such a situation can cause a rift between couples that can result in divorce and break-ups, which leads to fewer

Sexuality, amongst humans, is so diverse and dynamical that it's impossible to even begin to learn even the basics of what turns people on or off; and, as the old adage goes: The more you learn the less you know. Such is the case with human sexuality. When one begins to explore its very basic foundations, an entire spectrum of unimagined roads are just waiting to be travelled.

The argument over the morality of pornography can take shape in many different ways. In order to take a stance, it's important to identify what exactly is included in the definition of pornography. In this paper, pornography will be defined as sexually explicit materials in which the acts depicted degrade or subordinate women. The degradation and subordination can occur through various different acts, but in an attempt to curtail the wordiness of the definition, those words are used to include any act that misrepresents or defames women. Erotica on the other hand, which is not part of the moral argument of pornography, is sexually explicit material that portrays

For centuries, humans have been creating explicit images to depict their sexual fantasies and desires. Times have drastically changed, however, since the first known sex guide, Kama Sutra, was illustrated in 5th-century India (King 412). The selling of sexually explicit material is a multibillion dollar industry (King 411). Today, with just the click of a mouse, millions world-wide are able to access pornography and see their sexual fantasies come to life (King 418). According to King, “One third of all use of the internet is connected to porn sites,” (419). With explicit sexual material nearly impossible to avoid, it may be difficult to decipher between what is normal sexual behavior and what is merely fantasy. There is belief that the

As a result of the strong links and addictive elements of pornography, viewers might abandon important relationships. Many viewers have the conceived notion that porn is an easy and fast way to release an urge or fulfill a fantasy. Many fail to recognize pornography plays a huge role in damaging relationships.Viewers tend to turn towards porn to satisfy certain needs, and in doing so they neglect their significant other by “withdrawing emotionally from the relationship” (Aneloski). The rewiring of the brain can cause an individual to become more aroused by an explicit video than an actual real life partner. Without a healthy sexual connection, relationships suffer because sex is natural in any relationship (Weisman).
