    The controversy surrounding pornography is complicated not only by a lack of agreement on whether pornography should be allowed in our society, but also by a basic disagreement over what is included in the definition of pornography. Emotions run high and scientific rigour falls aside where it comes to studies of the effect of pornography, the use of these studies in mass media and in academic debates. Sifting through mountains of rhetoric can be confusing, when few entering the debate can even agree on what pornography is, much less what are its corrosive effects. The first task of this paper, therefore, shall be to begin at the beginning, and clarify the differing definitions or idea about pornography that are at play in recent academic debates. Secondly, I will examine the arguments for and against pornography, be it by way of censorship or not. Finally, I will look at the underlying assumptions of ethical systems that are being used here as points of reference. I will argue that much of the disagreement about this issue is due to the fact that the various sides are appealing to wildly different ethical systems. On the one hand, there are those that appeal to utilitarianism, while others appeal to an individualistic, existentialist ethics.…

    This paper deals with the effects of the media on teen sexuality and what results from it. The sexual content contained in the media uncovers the effects on adolescent’s attitude about sex, their beliefs, and behaviors. There are so many types of media that are geared towards adolescents; it makes it hard for teen’s to ignore. Teens are at a stage in their life where they are discovering who they are and are beginning to have new feelings which are usually centered on their bodies. These feelings make them especially vulnerable to outside influences. They want to be accepted and often go to great lengths to fit in. One of the definitions of sexuality is an organism’s preparedness for engaging in sexual activity. An adolescent is not prepared for the onset of puberty not to mention sexual activity. This is the reason it is so important for parents to talk to their kids about the changes that are going on and provide a solid foundation from which their children can grow from. Once that foundation is set then the schools can further educate the kids on what steps can be taken in terms of safe sex and give them options.…

    The two forms of sexual education taught in America are comprehensive (abstinence, safe sex, diseases) and abstinence-only (no sex till marriage). Abstinence-only sex education in the schools of the United States of America are bad for teenagers and won’t make a large difference in this country to a great extent because they don’t fully inform and aware students.…

    In a culture that supports the right of free choice, groups such as the Religious Alliance Against Pornography (RAAP) will have a very difficult time spreading their message and achieving their cause. RAAP is a group trying to mobilize a sexually driven culture against porn; this is an almost unobtainable task. They might have certain luck in a few individuals but ultimately they will never be able to make pornography go away. Pornography is defined by Ros Coward as acts that are sexual and is about sexual difference according to a society’s interpretations of the pornographic (Kaite, 1995). The definition of pornography given in our text states it as any written, visual, or spoken material depicting sexual activity or genital exposure that is intended to arouse the viewer (Crooks & Baur, 2005). These are textbook definitions, but adolescents of today have completely different views, most of them finding pornography an amusing subject. A definition taken from Urban Dictionary (1999-2007) says porn is “a great American pastime. Baseball lost its title when the Internet was invented.” The term “pornography” as said by Thornburgh and Lin (2002), has no well-defined meaning. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart observed, “I can’t define it [obscenity], but I know it when I see it” (Thornburgh & Lin, 2002). Clearly, not only would this group have to work against film industries and magazine empires, but there is also the boundless amount of sexually based material on the Internet. There is also the matter of the quickly aroused male. Being a girl, I cannot confirm or deny this, but from observation men can take anything they find sexually pleasing and turn it into porn. Whether from scenes in a movie, to an advertisement billboard with a half naked woman on it, anything can be taking and made into porn, it is a matter of the person not the material. In the end I do not think that the RAAP or any group like it will ever be able to stop the flood of pornography.…

    Pornography is one of the most harmful industries of both the 20th and 21st centuries. It has been heavily commercialized and made easily available on in our society. It has been promoted up to a point in which we can safely say that it has become part of our culture. It is clearly seen how it has been adapted to subliminally and explicitly be present in almost everything around us. From the various forms of art such as literature (erotica), paintings, and sculptures, to modern entertainment, pornography has established its roots in all corners of our poisoned society. The music we listen to in the radio every day contains sexual themes in its lyrics. The advertising billboards we look at in highways and roads on the way to our jobs, schools or homes are never without the showy semi naked model that covers around 60% of the billboard. Most of the movies we watch at the theatre nowadays contain one or more sexual scenes. Not even at home we are safe from pornography since it is extremely easy for it to slip in through television advertising and internet popups. We are bombarded by pornography 24/7 and some of us don’t even notice it. Oxford’s dictionary defines pornography as “printed or visual material containing the explicit description or display of sexual organs or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement.”…

    How do young people today obtain knowledge regarding the practice of safe sex? In the United States today, sex education in the most public and private schools consist of abstinence-only programs. The Abstinence-only types of programs leave young people uneducated on the practices of safe sex and can put them in danger of contracting STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases), including HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus), as well as unplanned pregnancies. In 2004 the Center for Disease Control (CDC) reported 4,883 young people, ranging in ages 13-24 had contracted HIV (CDC,…

    According to Debra W. Haffner, “There are no published studies in the professional literature indicating that abstinence-only programs will result in young people delaying intercourse.”(…) In correlation with the growth of teen pregnancy, the desire to experiment with a partner, and the advancement of more effective contraceptives, abstinence-only sex education is not the proper teaching for teenage students. Critics of abstinence-only education propose that merely telling students not to have sex, and expecting them to take note, is unrealistic. Sources, such as the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a sexual and reproductive health and research organization, show that nearly half of all adolescents will engage in some sort of sexual behavior before they leave high school. Therefore, it is vital to provide students with the proper knowledge they need to make responsible decisions. (…) Gloria Feldt, President of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, says, “When teens have access to the full range of reproductive health care services, including medically accurate sexuality education, they are more likely to make responsible choices about sex and sexuality.” (…)…

    There are various struggles faced by the American people because of the mishaps of sex. Many religions and faiths indurate the task to teach the concepts of sexual conduct. Some feel it is of great importance to give sex education whereas others think it goes against common principles. However based on surveys many parents are very abstinent or too shy to talk with their children about sex education. One may argue that the sex revolution of 1960’s was very devastating, aggrandizing teen pregnancy and divorce rates and proliferating sexually transmitted diseases such as aids and herpes which have no cure. However it is also very important because it drew the attention of the authority’s and public towards the necessity of sex education. The opposing views says that giving kids information on birth control encourages them to have sex and abstaining is the only way to prevent teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. Whether or not sex education should be permitted and will be beneficial is a question many are asking, but only few know the answer to.…
