Censorship on Pornography
Censorship of pornography continues to be a controversial issue; many arguments have been generated by this topic. I believe that censorship of pornography is wrong. Pornography is simply a depiction in words or pictures of sexual activity. Advocates of pornography claim it is a form of sex discrimination because it reinforces an inferior image of women and thus harms women's status. They argue that pornography also leads to physical abuse of women by increasing male aggression towards them. I believe in safeguards that restrict the access of certain sexually explicit material which some refer as "hard-core pornography". The First Amendment of the Bill of Rights allows us the freedom of speech, or of the press. When this was written over 200 years ago our founding fathers couldn't have imagined the degree to which these words would be taken. The First Amendment states as the United States we have to right to free speech and freedom of the pres
There are no proven facts that show that men rape or beat women because they have seen it in a movie, read literature, or viewed images of art. "A woman's body is a woman's rights," which means that a woman can exploit herself in anyway she chooses. Sexism, rape and beatings of women by men existed before widespread modernization of porn. They have chosen to participate in porn, and most view their bodies as a work of art. Some safeguards in effect today are that one needs to be of certain age to purchase adult magazines or videos. Although I am against censorship I am an advocate for safeguards on accessing certain "hard-core pornography". Many safeguards are made on pornography already, but I believe that we need stricter limits because to many children are finding access to porn. In case of broadcast media strict standards and stiff penalties for the broadcasting of material the community considers inappropriate. After all my research on this issue I am truly against censorship of pornography. If a merchant sells sexually explicit material to a minor that merchant should suffer a stiff penalty, possibly losing his/her license. A person must choose to visit an Internet site. Women have the right to sexual expression. These safeguards should restrict the access to "hard-core pornography" to a person above a particular age. We are a sexist society and most images of women are going to contain at least some sexist attitudes common to both men and women. Censorship goes completely against our Bill of Rights, therefore until the law is changed, censorship should not be allowed.
