The Is The Modern Day Equivalent Of The Centuries Old Remunerative Peeping Toms

The documentaries Dream World 3 and Killing Us Softly 4 examine the exploitation of women within the media. The media, such as advertisement and the music video industry, relies heavily on the seductive image of female sexuality. Evident in not only every genre of music, but also every form of advertisement, the videos and advertisements expose and, subsequently sexualize the female body. Such sexualization inevitable leads to

In addition to the more tangible effects on adolescents, in one section of the article Ms. Turkle delves into the psychoanalytic ramifications; how this tethered lifestyle can affect narcissism; how it applies to Erik Erikson’s theories of child development, and in the end concludes that “By Erikson’s standards, the selves formed in the cacophony of online spaces are not protean but juvenile. Now I suggest that the culture in which they develop tempts them into narcissistic ways of relating to the world.”(Turkle 436). I find these worries unmoving. What Erik Erikson would make of modern connected society

Although cameras are machines used to capture a moment, Ondaatje argues that they do not accurately portray a person’s essence and their true self. To know someone’s genuine character, one must interact with them, rather than only viewing them through “ground glass or tripod” or the stories told through another person’s perspective. “Ground glass” represents camera’s lenses, a filter altering reality to fit the desired perception of a moment. Cameras are machines that influence someone’s perspective, rather than providing the true nature. Readers typically view Western society as an unknown wild land with no laws, but is it really so? Ondaatje’s use of cameras as a machine questions this notion and shows that cameras and images are only a biased representation of someone and how they want to be perceived.

As a consequence the Internet has become a significant tool in the distribution of indecent/pseudo photographs and video clips of children and young people. It is used for online banking, buying and selling goods, finding information and for socialising with others. Images can even be downloaded through satellite navigation systems.

Feminism and popular culture have interacted over the years, each influencing and responding to the other. The media has been a cause of feminist protests, especially because of their representations of men and women’s lives. These portrayals can have an impact on society, as because of their mass distribution, they have the capability to influence the public’s perspective on gender relations and feminist issues. The views of feminism and the ideas that the movement was currently emphasizing can be seen in popular culture’s productions during that time. One critical feminist issue has been the expectations for their physical appearances and lives outside of the home. In fact, Naomi Wolf’s idea of these themes, as described in The Beauty

From 1980-1990, video dating started where you could go to a facility make a video and watch the video of the opposite sex and choose a mate. Then we had the cell phone mobile app where you could do something called “sexting” with your partner or a person of interest. Other computer sites were created like “Adult Friend Finder” another form of computer dating. The technology here is the video recorder, video monitor of tv, VCR, computer, and mobile

With malicious attacks against computer users on the rise, several high-profile cases of webcam hacking have begun to surface resulting in policy change, varying degrees of judicial punishment, and large settlements. The following is an examination of a civil and criminal case in which the plaintiffs were successful in their claims against non-governmental webcam hacking.

With this type of mindset, you are so focused in making connections with other people, that you ironically separate yourself by trying to know what everyone is doing and imagine we are at all these places. While this is not a realistic possibility no matter what form of technology we have, being able to view all this information in one place has deceived society into spending its time receiving information about life, instead of actually experiencing it for themselves. Social networking is another prime example of an attention grabbing technology. You can learn about all the information on your friend’s activities in one place any time you feel like it. While it is extremely useful to be able to be able to do this, connective technology is only truly beneficial if you are able to use it as a device to interact in person. Unfortunately, the intensity of this addictive isolation can be multiplied when a person is being controlled by more than one form of digital technology. This can lead to living a life where you are never in the present moment or as Samuels puts it, “If you're routinely using three screens at once, distraction can feel like a way of life”

The author points toward the definition of sexualization by borrowing APA’s description stating ,” In 2010, the APA released a report on the sexualization of girls, which it described as portraying a girl's value as coming primarily from her sexual appeal.” and further adds to show where it’s found rampant, and the damage that is seemly spread, “It found increased sexualization in magazines, by marketers, in music lyrics, and on television – a phenomenon that includes "harm to the sexualized individuals themselves, to their interpersonal relationships, and to society." One of the biggest markets for sexualization is on the internet, the self-evident point made by the author saying, “Children often come across Internet pornography unintentionally:University of New Hampshire researchers found in 2005 that one-third of Internet users ages 10 to 17 were exposed to unwanted sexual material, and a London School of Economics study in 2004 found that 60 percent of children who use the Internet regularly come into contact with pornography.” Although they may be facts and research statistics, the article how a powerful pathos appeal by the startling realization of how easily exposed children are to pornography. The article shows how dangerous this phenomon is, however not without a

Aaron Quinn, in his article, called Accepting Manipulation or Manipulating what is Acceptable? He indicates the declining of public trust in photojournalism due to the obscurity of journalists’ integrity to provide accurate news to the public. He also indicates the existence of two moral dilemmas in photojournalism profession: post- shoot manipulation and the dependence on a machine to make a decision rather than a human being, as well as the ethical problems that come with the two moral dilemmas such as inconsistency, lack of integrity, and inaccuracy. He also presents two important questions to discuss. The first question at stake is what are the proper ethical guidelines of post- shoot photo manipulation? The second question at stake is

Anti-porn feminists believe that pornography is humiliating to women and turns them into sexual objects that satisfy men’s sexuality. But McElroy disagree saying that when it is analyzed critically it means nothing. Humans only are the ones known to have sexuality then how can objects have sexuality. McElroy basing on this concludes saying that anti-porn feminists who believes in this are lessening their fellow’s dignity. In her article McElroy continues to disagree with this saying that there is nothing shameful on focusing on woman’s

Feminists that approach analyzing popular culture proceed from a variety of theoretical positions that carry with them a deeper social analysis and political agenda. Popular culture has been a critical part of feminist analysis. “Cultural politics are crucially important to feminism because they involve struggles over meaning” (Storey, Intro 136). Analyzing a piece of pop culture through a feminist viewpoint, whether it be a music video or any sort of media, opens up a broader discussion about the structure of our patriarchal society and the ways in which politics are constantly portrayed and

Lisa Henderson’s Access and Consent in Public Photography focuses in the cases and incidents. Henderson discusses the two sets of contingencies in the public photography. The first contingency focuses on the features of the social interaction between photographers and their subjects. The second contingency focuses on the organizational limits on doing photographic work, such as the division of labor in the newspaper production. She explains the meaing and the interpretation between the two sets of contingencies. In the quality of their relationship, the photographers and their employers control the production of the photographs. Some wealth people with more power are better subjects to enage in the photographs because theycan inhibits access

The idea that pornography gives feminists of differing opinions this middle ground that they can meet on and see how to articulate the different desires of feminism and what they want to turn it into is one of the main reasons Catherine Lumby argues that feminists need pornography (par 60). As Lumby writes in “Why Feminists Need Porn,” chapter five of her book Bad Girls, “the notion that you can draw a cause and effect line between fantasy and social practice is disturbing and distasteful to some feminists,” (par 60).
