Lasting Effects Of Pornography

Throughout history there has been times when empire building and expansion were very popular. During the Early Modern Era, from 1450-1750, this occurred a lot. The European, Russian, Chinese, Mughal and, Ottoman empires were all being built around the same time. An empire is a group of states or countries under one supreme ruler. When the empire is divided by an ocean or has part of it distant from the other, the part away from the mainland is known as a colony and the homeland is the Mother Country.

Something I will remember from this Year's history class is Native Americans and how unfairly they were treated by others. I will remember this because they lost their land and were forced out of their land by white settlers. I do not think this is very fair because the Native Americans had already settled in their land and then the white settlers came and move them out so that the white settlers could use the land. I wish that in our history the U.S. was more open to other races.

A 2014 report conducted by McAfee, a security software company, found that “54% of respondents or receive intimate content including video, photos, emails and messages.” (Study Reveals Majority, 2014) The study found that most of those who share the content do so with their significant other. But what happens to this content after a relationship ends? Some of these images have ended up in being posted across the internet; this has become so prevalent it has a name, revenge porn. Revenge porn websites have started popping up all over the internet. These websites only post the intimate images and videos without the subject’s consent. Some, like the website Is Anyone Up, also include the name and other identifying information

227). Among these females, 27.8% were forced to be sexually photographed or filmed by their partners, 75% were forced to consume pornography and 80.5% claimed that they were forced to re-enact sexual acts from pornography (Moreau et al. 227). With 9.4% having reported that they experienced forced sexual relations with other individuals, 38.5% forced with other couples, 53.8% forced into sexual relations with other individuals including family and 69.2% having experienced prostitution through the force of their partners (Moreau et al. 227). With most of these statistics demonstrating forced exposure of pornography to an individual, it could potentially lead to the solidification of sexual scripts involving the alteration of values and such. Which slowly and forcefully educates the females of subordination and objectification. Forcefully creating beliefs that women are tools for sexual gratification as a normality of society. Overall demonstrating that the exposure of pornography has positive correlations with the increasing of sexual

In recent years, the term pornography has been primarily associated with that which is accessed and streamed over the internet, rather than the literal definition of, “obscene writings, drawings, photographs, or the like, especially those having little or not artistic merit.” This form of visual pornography is a popular and successful business as it is viewed for fulfilling pent up sexual desires, however it promotes the act of having multiple sex partners without the need of any commitment. Although it is for this reason that this business is permitted, there are many overlooked, long – term affects that have become topics of controversy. Not only does pornography affect those who indulge in it, but it can influence those who divulge

A pair of long luscious, shapely legs extend upward until they join in perfect harmony. Colorful panties cover what seem to be the smallest area possible as a slim torso with shapely breasts and a slender neck lead to a perfect face. There she is, the perfect woman, the perfect picture of lust. Yet, she is only a picture, but what unbelievable power she possesses. Any man who looks her way will question his desires and himself. Who will resist her temptation and who will give in is the only question left without an answer.

People are watching pornography without considering its consequences. Though it may seem a better and easy way of securing sexual pleasure, it is addictive and can result to masturbation as the individual is forced to release the accompanied sexual pleasure. As explained by Schneider, Frank, Jamie and Coutts, pornography is addictive and can result to sexual dysfunctional. By watching pornography, the individual obtains sexual stimuli forcing him or her to masturbation which provides a sexual satisfaction that a normal human being cannot provide. Once such people get married, they never get aroused easily by their spouse making them go back to porn and masturbation for full satisfaction (Jenkins, pg. 3). As a result, pornography has caused violence in marriages as the addicted partner cannot be sexually satisfied. This paper contains a discussion of the pornography together with the various possible effects.

Pornography is commonly used in many cultures across the world. Within the United States, alone, roughly 40 million people regularly visit porn sites (Streep, 2014). And yet, despite its growing popularity, only a handful of studies have explored pornography’s potential effects on sexual satisfaction for those in exclusive relationships (Bridges & Morokoff, 2011; Daneback et al., 2009; Maddox et al., 2011; Stewart & Szymanski, 2012; Stulhofer et al., 2010; Zillmann & Bryant, 1988). As using pornography can potentially have negative effects on both the user’s and their intimate partner’s sexual satisfaction, it is important to

Ernest Hemingway based his writing on real life experiences concerning death, relationships, and lies. He then mixed these ideas, along with a familiar setting, to create a masterpiece. Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park Illinois. One of Hemmingway’s first works was Indian Camp published in 1925. In many ways Indian Camp shows the relationship between Hemingway and his father. Hemingway then digs deeper into the past to create the love between Frederick Henry and Catherine Barkley, in A Farwell To Arms. Hemingway was later able to reflect his disgust of home life when he portrayed himself as the character Krebs in Soldiers Home, the character had problems with lies, women, and at home.

The seemingly main reason there is such a growth in pornography is because almost everyone and everything in the world reacts and relates to sex. People are captivated with sex and are excited to see something new or something they have not seen before. People are always looking for a version of sex that is new or more different than the norm. This is soaring the pornography industry to grow one step further in order to keep up with the demand.

One of the most prominent and detrimental forms of sexual objectification is in pornography, where it defines a woman’s role as a sexual object for men to use freely (Insert Plato Citation). It was concluded that 88% of the scenes on porn contain acts of physical aggression, which can overexpose men into thinking that this sort of aggression is normal and raise their tolerance of violence (Insert PornStats Citation). It can further warp the minds of the watchers into thinking that this is what relationships and sex are truly like, when in reality many women are forced into the industry or are overly intoxicated to keep the entire experience feeling numb (Insert ThePinkCross Citation). Pornography also touches in on an even darker subject

In the Western society, the status of women is degraded due the persistent cynical effects of patriarchy. The presumption that women cannot stop a rapist gives men enormous power over women who in this discourse are framed as utterly helpless (Angus 2015). McCaughey implies that “violence against women depends upon the myth of male strength and female weakness” (McCaughey 2000, 160). Hence, the sexist beliefs held in regards to women are both socially and culturally. By reading Mackinnon’s and Cornell’s work, I was able to not only think critically about the impact that pornography has on a woman’s life, but I was also able to come to a better understanding of the term. Pornography not only plays a vital role in determining women’s status, but it also “turns sex inequality into sexuality and turns male dominance into sex difference” (MacKinnon 1988, 3). That is reflects an analysis of the idiom, a woman could say not, but she means yes. Living in a patriarchal society, one has to keep in mind that pornographic industry has caused damage to women’s status and power (MacKinnon 1988). That is, the pornographic sphere plays a vital role in sexuality of women and has a negative impact their body image.

There is a new threat to society, an up and coming monster slowly awakening from its deep slumber. Pornography is this monster and it is a problem. Pornography has been around since the mid-1600’s, during the 1970’s the industry was revolutionized by the beginning of the internet and the changes in social mores, allowing them to create more uncommon and risque media. Since that time though it has only grown into a bigger problem for many people, which can become an addiction. Pornography is a growing addiction and it can cause the user lots of harm because, it changes the way the userś brain works, cause you to become violent, and can change the way you look at and love others.

dominated, or should be treated as if they did’, that it is comparable to speech

Before the 21th century, people’s speech was limited, their speech was censored and controlled by laws and restrictions from the government. Moreover, as we entered the 21st century, public speaking, and free speech is encouraged and emphasized. People are encouraged to deliver whatever content they believe in. In addition, people are given more freedom in expressing their opinions and ideologies. However, a world with unlimited free speech could be disastrous. For instance, should an employer ask freely for an interviewee’s sexual preference or religion, and choose whether to hire that person based on their personal affiliations? Or should a professor conduct a hate speech about homosexuality at a university? In addition, a society with total uncensored free speech could result in the exclusion and the attack of certain minority groups. Although free speech should be tolerated and encouraged, there should be rules and administrations made concerning the content of the speech. Free speech should be regulated if the content involves harming others’ personal affiliations such as sexuality, race and religion.
