The World's Most Infamous Serial Killer: Ted Bundy

Improved Essays
Ted Bundy is the world’s most infamous serial killer. While there is absolutely no excusing what he did, I belive certain factors, like pornography, heightened his genetic pre-disposition to be a killer. In saying this I agree with his statement that pornography played a part in culminating his violent behaviour, although this wasn’t the only factor that influenced his behaviour, it certainly played a major role.

Research shows that watching porn is similar to doing drugs. The first time you watch it you get a rush of endorphines and your brain gets stimulated in a way that is similar to doing cocaine or substances of a similar nature. However the next time you watch porn your brain gets stimulated a bit less and the rush of endorphines isn’t

People who spend a lot of time watching pornography will stuggle to get arroused by their spouse as everything may seem boring compared to the pornography. This causes individuals to seek other ways to achieve the same level of satisfaction and arousal. Had Ted Bundy not been exposed to pornography I believe his life would have been drastically different.

The problem with all forms of pornography is how easy it is to access. In today’s day and age everyone has a device and so pornographic videos and pictures are just a few clicks away. Yes, Ted Bundy may have been an extremely rare case of a porn addict taking things to far, however we shouldn’t risk creating another Ted Bundy due to the effects of pornography.

In closing, I belive porn played a major role in culminating a violent serial killer. In order to prevent this from ever occuring again we need to place restricions and limitations on the pornography industry. Porn addiction is a real problem and it shouldn’t be ignore just because porn is taboo subject matter. Studies show that pornogrphy changes the brain for the worst, so why do we allow the porn instruty to carry on with what they are

    In “Perils of Pornophobia” Nadine Strossen argues that pro censorship of all pornography is not the answer. Strossen describes a number of situations, where artistic paintings and photographs of woman’s nude bodies were removed from public viewing because of censorship. She states that pro-censorship feminists design their arguments on the premise that getting rid of pornography from society would reduce sexism and violence against women. She argues that Pornophobia would simply collide feminists in their battle for women’s liberation and rights. Strossen implies that many pornophobic feminists conclude that sex is degrading to women and that even consensual or nonviolent sex is evil and so women must be confined.…

    Ted Bundy: The Suave Serial Killer Theodore Robert Conwell, more commonly known as Ted Bundy, was born on November 24, 1946 to Eleanor Louise Cowell in Burlington, Vermont. He was considered an illegitimate child because his mother was not married and didn’t even know for sure who the father was. Her parents were very religious and to prevent the social stigma of the bastard child, raised Ted as their own and told him that his mother was his sister. As a toddler, Ted was known to have an affinity for knives. His aunt Julia describes a time where she had “awoken from a nap to find that she’d been surrounded by knives from the kitchen and Ted was standing by the bed smiling.…

    The interest with serial killers in our society has been realized, and several psychological studies have been approached in order to understand it. Within an American magazine publication, The Atlantic, the article “The Grisly, All American Appeal of Serial Killers” states that our interest in serial killers stems from people being drawn to understanding the dark side, and trying to figure out the puzzle that is a labyrinth of human emotions and motives. This demonstrates why people are so immensely drawn in by the desire to see the mind of a serial killer. Questions such as “What made serial killers this way? Why did they kill, and why did they do it so gruesomely?…

Bundy was executed in Florida 's electric chair in 1989 and he was known somewhat as a celebrity during his trial case during the 80’s because he was rumored to have great charm and was rumored to be very intelligence.

    Since it is easier to access, it also accounts for a lot of female objectification leading to the acceptance of sexual violence in our society. Sexual material, in this case porn, contributes to sexual violence today. “Exposure to pornography helps to sustain young people’s adherence to sexist and unhealthy notions of sex and relationships. And, especially among boys and young men who are frequent consumers of pornography, including of more violent materials, consumption intensifies attitudes supportive of sexual coercion and increases their likelihood of perpetrating assault. While children and young people are sexual beings and deserve age-appropriate materials on sex and sexuality, pornography is a poor, and indeed dangerous, sex educator” (The harms of pornography exposure among children and young people).…

    Tolerance with pornography is compared to the kind of tolerance to drugs like heroine. The user will initially achieve a high, but then the dosage needed to experience that same high would increase. This notion of tolerance is what leads users to not only more extreme drugs, and more extreme quantities of those drugs. When it comes to pornography, the user will begin with mildly suggestive images. As tolerance is built, this enjoyment will fade, and the user will seek more explicit material to obtain the desired effect.…

    2.2 Pornography - A Form of Oppression to Women? Academic literature on pornography (e.g. history of production and regulation of pornography) is extensive, and tends to focus on the male consumption of pornography. As afore-discussed, the evolution of the market of pornography couples with technological innovations could imply an increasing trend of men and women participating the production and/or consumption of pornography. However, many research on pornography such as Malamuth, Addison and Koss (2000) and Paolucci, Genuis and Violato (2015) have significantly demonstrated a positive correlation between consumption of pornography and harm to women.…

    In this essay I will argue that the state should not put any restrictions upon the production and circulation of pornography created by consenting adults beyond the production and circulation of that which depicts acts which are already prohibited by law. I will do this by opposing arguments made by those who suggest that the state has a responsibility to legislate on the issue of pornography according to the social moral consensus, and will argue that such principles have no place in state legislature or what the state should restrict. I will then argue that state legislation on pornography with content that which isn't already illegal would be a state incursion into an individual's negative Liberty, which cannot be justified according to…

    If you look at his background. His raising, the abuse he witness upon his mother from her father and upon him, his grandfather bigotries, finding out that his sister is his mother. All of this will defiantly, almost bring on a serial killer. What is strange about Ted Bundy is that a lot of people liked him and was not aware of what he was doing or had become especially, the girls. I fell as though in this case, if early childhood development, mental health assisting, and all other help was given to his mother at the beginning of his life may have been a good start for him but not a high percentage.…

    The fact is we cannot continue to ignore the statistics or the everyday evidence of how pornography in one form or another is thrown into society. Try to keep this in mind as you go about your daily lives. Don’t remain ignorant to what is in your face almost everywhere you look. Try and see both sides of this argument but keep in mind how remaining ignorant to what we are exposed to will effect us all. By not keeping an observing eye on what our children are viewing and what they are becoming accustom too we are turning our back on our responsibility not only as a parent but as a civilized…
