The Pros And Conship Of Censornography

If pornography is censored because it offends certain people, then what about religion, or even sexual orientation? Sure, gay marriage has recently been legalized, but there are some people in this country who find it just as offensive and obscene as some people find pornography. Are we as a country supposed to satisfy the sensibilities of one group of people (i.e.: self-proclaimed feminists, in this case) simply because something bothers them or are we right to allow the freedom of expression that pornography claims to be to keep in ordinance with the First Amendment?

Many people say that pornography should be censors and other say that it is helpful. Pornography is used all around the world for many reason whether if its use for masturbation, other use it to release stress or for there personal needs and it may help relationships. Brownmiller states “pornography represents hatred of women, that hat pornography’s intent is to humiliate, degrade, and dehumanize the female body for the purpose to erotic stimulation and pleasure” (62). So what Brownmiller is saying is that because of pornography women are targeted and hated by many and this is why it should be censor. I disagree with her because pornography does not bring women down nor is it only used for pleasure. This example says the opposite to what Brownmiller said, “pornography, for example, doesn’t degrade women; women are degraded by our culture, and certain forms of pornography reflect that.” (McWilliams). McWilliams states that pornography isn’t the one who is degrading women but who is really humiliating women is ones culture. Our culture is the one who is corrupting the society and not pornography. I agree with McWilliams that society should be the one who is censor and not pornography. Because as a society we are the one who is hurting

Should all government censorship be resisted? I believe that not all government censorship should be resisted. Internet should be censored such a way that gives an opportunity to collect important and effective information and filter the harmful information. Internet censorship is one of the best examples of government censorship that helps to make the society better. The Internet is a very helpful source for collecting information and learning new thing. However, the internet has positive and negative things equally and negative content has a heavy impact on children lives. Base on age website or application access limitation of harmful material that protects our children from abusing internet and censorship also helps to stop

Susan Jacoby's essay represents her unique image as a “First Amendment Junkie” and what it means for her in society of her times. Her belief that the First Amendment must be carried on at all costs without regarding the content, which in this case she expresses particularly in pornography. Jacoby states that allowing censorship of pornography could open up the possibilities of censoring other things if so, what could be those other things? Could we agree with her? Had we censored pornography back in the 70's would we as women be where we are now? After analyzing Jacoby's article, She does not excuse or deny that pornography can be or is vulgar,

Gail Dines’s book Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality (Beacon Press, 2011) is about how porn is affecting our lives and why it's presence is damaging to our sexual freedom. Her point of view is just one point of view but it's very thought provoking and it makes you question a lot of things. A lot of things that you wouldn't generally think of. Some may not agree with her point-of-view because of her “anti-porn” agenda, but in this book Dine makes a fair amount of valid points.

Firstly I will support my premise that pornography does encourage freedom of speech and expression. Pornography in written or visual form would be considered to depict freedom of speech or expression. In written form, such as many popular books such as Fifty Shades of Grey, pornography is depicted and readers of this book as well as the author are not committing an illegal act. This is because the author has the freedom of speech to write such content. The production

The subject of censorship is a very controversial one, especially the banning of books. Many people believe they must protect themselves and others from the "evils" of many classic books and works of art because they can be deemed "indecent" in one way or another. Many believe that this is absurd and censorship in its current form is a violation of our First Amendment right to free speech. Personally, I align myself with the latter, however I do feel there are occasions where censorship is justifiable.

There are many pros and cons of censorship some of them are very bad in the long run. Some examples are that sex-related topics being censored can be

Nudity, Profanity, and religious beliefs, oh my! What do all three of these things have in common? They are all censored for the sake of our children. But think realistically; almost every child anymore is exposed to these things whether or not parents want them to be. The outside world isn’t censored at all. People streak, curse, and state their religious beliefs at their leisure. There is no way to guard a child from everyday life. In time, everyone will be exposed to those same concepts and ideas that we are trying so desperately to hide from. Censorship is unnecessary and shouldn’t be interfering with people’s daily lives.

Ethics Pornography is a social problem and is a commodity brought into existence by certain characteristics of a highly developed civilization. The problem with pornography is that any form of censorship or downplay cannot solve it. It is difficult to draw the line between ones right to express their ideas and or opinions or sexuality

In class we discussed pornography and how it can either be seen as moral or immoral. In the book Exploring Ethics by Steven M. Cahn, Helen E. Longino wrote chapter thirty-eight titled Pornography, Oppression, and Freedom. Longino believes that pornography is immoral and that it causes more harm than good in society. She believes that pornography singles out woman and is defamatory, violent, and should be regulated. My argument is against Longino, if porn is restricted several movies would be deemed immoral because of nudity. The connection between violence against women and pornography would not change or even increase if restrictions apply. No one should be forced into pornography, but the option should be available without regulation.

Adult Americans are still free—in most localities—to choose for themselves whether or not to procure and use pornographic materials. And while there is room for question concerning some of its alleged benefits, the assertion that porn's use leads to sex crime is soundly refuted by the fact that the large majority of those who use porn do not engage in antisocial behavior. (It's also difficult to take

Remember the day when you could say anything you wanted without worrying about someone telling you, “That’s not correct”or “don’t say that.” Yes? Everybody does. Many long to live in that era once more; they long to be able to speak their mind in public without anyone thinking they are weird or crazy. Lately it seems as though you have to retain your thoughts inside your mind and not say anything. Many college campuses and websites have started to establish rules which prevent people from saying what’s on their mind and writing or saying something which may harm others.

In recent years, pornography has established itself as perhaps the most controversial topic arising out of the use of the Internet. The easy availability of this type of sexually explicit material has caused a panic among government officials, family groups, religious groups and law enforcement bodies and this panic has been perpetuated in the media.

“Never before in history of telecommunications media in the United States has so much indecent (and obscene material been so easily accessible by so many minors in so many American homes with so few restrictions” (qtd in “Pornography and Child Sexual Abuse”). The problem addressed in the quote by the U.S. Department of Justice is pornography, a 10 billion dollar industry, has made its way from discreet taboo to something that is today considered acceptable and even common. With the internet being such a common tool, it is no surprise that there is easy access to sexually explicit material. The widespread accessibility and usage of pornography has changed people’s outlook on the normality of watching such sexually explicit material, and
