Internet Pornography
Internet Pornography We all get up in the middle of the night to get a drink or a bite to eat. We notice a very small light is on in the computer room in the low lit corner. There is a small part on the monitor that is not blocked by your teenager’s head, and you get a glimpse of a woman that is revealing her breast. Now what can one do about this happening? We have the choice of the government regulations on the internet, or we can discuss with our teenagers that it is highly wrong to look at such material that is very explicit. Internet pornography has become a major issue that is not discussed or talked about today. Topics about pornography do not really seem to get attention. We know there are astronomical material on the internet we call the World Wide Web that allows teenagers that are under the age of 18 with a just a click or tap of a mouse. Now this is very wrong as protection should be a major concern. There should be some of aggression to be placed the pornography sites. As I am a concerned consumer who does not even know how one can ban it or even find away to be ban it off the internet. Internet pornography seems to be a big issue with parents or people who think it’s highly wrong for females to show their naked body to a guy or males. The biggest concern is Internet Pornography really is teaching affecting the young teenagers who are admiring naked women seems to be okay, now this issue matter really is providing way too many things to underage teenagers.
The underage teenagers seem to be following in this bad direction. Yes, we do realize that some teenagers like to take a glimpse of a nude female or male body. To speak this really is not what males or females are viewed upon for. Teenagers really should be using the internet for research papers, watching the latest sports or even reading electronic books, and not going to pornography sites. Older siblings (brothers or sisters and sometimes parents) are providing bad examples

    Children are our society’s most valuable and fragile resources. It is our responsibility as parents, adults, and caregivers to provide our children with as many safeguards to protect them from physical and virtual dangers. Children are spending more and more time on the internet and without the proper protection and supervision they can be exposed to indecent or harmful material or predators that seek to harm them. “What children are encountering on the Internet, particularly in terms of indecent or otherwise unsuitable material or contacts with strangers who intend to do them harm, is an issue of major concern.” (Smith, 2001). The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000 and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 were put in place as an attempt to protect our children from the harm that could befall them on the internet from harmful materials and predators that target children.…

    In Dahlia Lithwick’s article “Teens, Nude Photos and the Law”, she talks about how teen boys and girls are sending nude pictures to their boyfriends or girlfriends.

The teenager that received the photo can be charged with a felony of child pornography. The author then discusses why the teenager should not be treated harshly.

    Pornography comes in different forms such as pictures, film or writing which stimulates sexual arousal. Child pornography is the deliberate abuse of a minor, it not only destroys Childs self-esteem but it later becomes an issue for society to deal with as well. Children are forced to endure both physical and mental harm. A young mind does not have the capability of understanding that what is happening to them is wrong. The young victims are usually lured into watching explicit materials first by the pedophile, in which it is made to seem as though these acts are acceptable and that “everyone is doing it”.…

    I am writing in response to your article published in the Daily Mail on March 1st 2013, about online pornography. My concerns about the quality of journalism in this article has prompted me to write and express these concerns; namely that your writing is over-opinionated, misleading and actually quite irresponsible. Although persuasive in some ways your article contains many flaws. In your opening remarks you try to force the reader into sympathizing with your point of view, but your methods are transparent. Your point of view is continuously expressed throughout the article, often being presented as fact rather than opinion. For example, “successive governments have ducked dealing with the pernicious effects of pornography”, is written with much conviction, but very little substance. As a whole the article contains very few facts about the effects of pornography on teenagers.…

    Pornographic videos should not be shown at nine in the morning, because children would be able to see it. There should be a schedule for mature things, and still parents should be involve on keeping an eye on your child, because you cannot censor everything. The difficult part is how find a schedule for everything, because in world as it is today, money is the one that talks, not morals, not education. For example Howard Stern; has a radio show. In his show, he does many stupid things; one of…

    Pornography and obscenity is all we see and hear about today in the news, with no exception to most movies and even TV. As of 12 years old this issue strikes a bigger interest than in the past. When I flip through the channels and see the news or watch a TV show there is something always on that a younger child should not be watching or learning about unless they are older. When the world censorship is thrown around it is a very controversial issue with the rights of the people and the way the company's want to present their product.…

    Sexualisation of children

    Childhood is a multifaceted concept. Above all, most nobly, it is about innocence. The sexualisation of young people through a combination of razor sharp marketing, explicit lyrics, photo shoots and music videos together with a general coarsening of culture, must have an effect on the younger generation. Sex sells. And in a world where young girls who can barely walk are placed in high heels and playboy t-shirts, where supposed role models like Miley Cyrus, are regularly seen in minimal clothing, gyrating, twerking and suggestively licking inanimate objects, there are arguments being put forward by parents that these images in the media, art and photography are harmful to children. While I myself do not have children, I do plan on having them and have spent some time in loco parentis as a nanny; I feel this issue is an important one that needs addressing and something that as a society we need to discuss. Over the years we have seen an increase in teenage drinking, sexual activity and other behaviour that is less than innocent1 in the UK. In a world where children are more vulnerable than ever, they are also more aware of their surroundings, which begs the question whether the radical behaviour of the nations children is the fault of the media or the parents. A staggering “one in five children aged five to seven are accessing the internet without supervision from a parent” and shockingly less than half of those have some kind of filtering software to prevent them accessing inappropriate and adult material 2. Everyone from doctors to teachers, the police to art critics and photo lab workers are continuously on the look out, even subconsciously for anything even slightly of concern where children are involved. Looking back throughout the time of photography being an art form readily available to the masses, almost every family has the innocent naked…

    In social media, people can easily find videos and images that promotes “sexual addictive behavior.” These free sexual images and videos can lead to teens taking the next step on clicking the internet sites that gives “sex chat, sexual hook-ups, prostitutes, or finding old acting-out partners” (Hatch). Paulla Hall, a sex addiction therapist, claims about forty percent of teenagers had seen pornography before age of twelfth. For men, excitement was the reason for their sexual behavior. In women, “affirmation and feeling wanted” was their reason. Because teenagers lack of education and easy access to porn, it can easily lead them to become addicted. Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions, admits internet pornography have increased violence in teenage relationships over the year…

    The article "The Internet: A Clear and Present Danger?" written by Cathleen Cleaver is a clear claim of the necessity of government regulation to control what is being shown on the Internet. To support her claim, Cleaver gives the pornographic web sites as an example. She argues that the regulations used to control the selling of pornography applied to porn stores, magazines, and television should also be applied to the Internet. The reason for such necessity is that it is impossible to control who is actually accessing such web sites. Following this reason, Cleaver's main claim in the article is that children can access pornographic web sites on the Internet. This claim is clearly stated by Cleaver in the fourth paragraph of her essay: "When considering what is in the public interest, we must consider the whole public, including children, as individual participants in this new medium" (460). After that her following paragraphs give examples and explanations that support the necessity of a government regulation on Internet. Such examples and explanations were very effective in order to support her claim. They made a fundamental relationship between the author's claim and the real facts that support it, helping people realize such danger by thinking about their own experience.…

    Internet Porn

    In the most recent issue of the Christian magazine, Ensign, Gordon B. Hinkley, the president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, brought up the topic of pornography and the internet. He named his talk, "A Tragic Evil among Us." Just by the title alone, one can see that Hinkley is extraordinarily against the porn industry. In the very beginning of his article, he states, "[Pornography] is like a raging storm, destroying individuals and families, utterly ruining what was once wholesome and beautiful." As a Christian myself, I also share this view about pornography. I share it so much that I decided to become a sexual addiction psychologist. Through my own religious affairs and through earnest studies, I have found that pornography does nothing but harm to its audience. Because of this, my wife and I have chosen to leave pornographic material outside our home. We do not pay for cable; we carefully choose our magazine subscriptions, and we even try to not watch movies that are rated-R. We have also chosen to cancel our internet service so our children cannot surf the web for porn. However, this is what troubles me. I need the internet for school work, shopping, information, etc. Even though I can drive to school to access the internet, being without the internet has really been hard. Yet, getting rid of it completely seems to be the only sure way of ridding us of the pornography it can contain. How else can we as parents gain absolute control over the pornographic content that seems to seep into every webpage that we and our children look at? Since AOL, MSN, and the other larger ISP (internet service provider) companies have not yet been able to offer any sure solutions, I believe that our government should take drastic measures on our behalf. I believe that the U.S. should start a revolution, making webpages illegal in the U.S., unless given a rating. Furthermore, all web browsers should have similar laws…
