Anti-pornography movement

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. For examples, Paolucci, Genuis and Violato (2015)’s analysis on the impacts of pornography…

In Feminist settings, conversations surrounding pornographic content and its influence are often polarizing; the discrepancy of attitudes towards pornography between opposing parties can be acrimonious and fraught with tension. Radical feminists tend to take up an anti-pornography stance, citing concerns of the representation of women, violent and sexist practices of the pornography industry and violence that correlates with the consumption of pornography. Liberal, sex-positive feminists have…

I believe that David Pellegrini’s directorial concept for Pornography was to showcase how closely our everyday lives are intermingle with our nation and how, in these case, a moment of tragedy can bring us together and open our eyes about our environment. Due to the given circumstances of the play there isn’t much room to play around and image the plot in a different time period, but, Pellegrini used all of the open-ended aspects of the play to his advantage and gave them his unique touch to…

Censoring Pornography Would not Reduce Discrimination or Violence against Women is that “censoring pornography would do women more harm than good.” She states this because Strossen believes that the assumption that censorship of pornography would result in the reduction of violence and sexism against women must be in agreeance with the three following points directly from Strossen’s Free Speech, Sex, and the Fight for Women’s Rights: (i) exposure to sexist, violent imagery leads to sexist,…

Pornography, in a diverse range of mediums, has existed for many decades now—and while the harmful effects on society are pervasive, they may not be well known to the public. The reach and depth of pornography’s influences has been a continually debated issue amongst feminists in many scopes, both individual and societal. Here, I present the two differing perspectives held by feminists on this issue and seek to dissect and analyze the arguments held by both sides in relation to the battle…

“Son of the Revolution” is an autobiography written by Liang Heng. Heng shares his firsthand account of growing up in a very telling era in China. Not only does Heng take us through the milestone events of Mao’s Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, but also through the Hundred Flowers Campaign, the Anti-Rightist Campaign as well as the Socialist Education Campaign. Heng provides a look into these historical pillars in Chinese history in a way that the Golf and Overfield texts could…

The Hundred Flowers movement did effectively “coax the snakes out of their holes” and in June of 1957 Mao pivoted, editing his message and recasting it as a call to arms against all who dared speak against him and the party. Half a million individuals felt the wrath of “anti-rightist” movement. Once identified as “rightists”, people suffered punishment that varied from jail sentences to public executions and protracted death sentences by way of exile in forced labor reeducation camps. In…

parts of the law was allowing women to divorce their husbands when they wanted to because they hadn’t had that right in the past. Both of these laws gave the power that he had promised to the peasants and he even went a step further to ask them their opinions on his leadership and what they wanted to improve. However, the people, to Mao’s surprise, weren’t completely happy with him and wanted to change some of his rules. When the power began to go to Mao’s head, he made many poor decisions…

effect of smog and water in West Virginia burning. Nuclear destroys more people if it messes and causes more harm than other power sources but has problems less often. Nuclear provides a huge amount of energy about 37 million times more than a coal plant with the same amount of coal and does not make CO2 destroying the ozone or doesn 't create smog. So my point of view that talks and discussion solidified is going to seem like a cop-out, but I believe nuclear power is good but needs to be done…

The central research is how easily accessible pornography is to people anywhere and everywhere. Pornography has effect on teens and adults with their daily social lives. The methods used to analyze the problem are comparing statics from different cites, a personal experience from a dad and son, and the consequences porn has on its viewers. My topic is important because technology is advancing, which means more people can find easier ways to look up pornography. Background and Significance: As…
