In this issue of The NORSUnian, let us be aware of the consequences that has relationship with pornography, how it affects us – youth, and what we can do about it. Read on and decide by yourself on what to do next after the following information.
What is Pornography?
According to Oxford English Dictionary, pornography is any printed or visual material intended to stimulate sexual excitement. However, Merriam-Webster’s 11th Collegiate Dictionary provides that it is the depiction of erotic behavior aimed to cause sexual stimulation, and the depiction of acts in a sensational manner to arouse a quick intense emotional reaction.
It only means that pornography exemplifies the portrayal of one, two or many people doing sex acts to motivate and encourage its audience’s emotional sexual desire. On the other hand, it has always often been subjected to consideration of offensiveness, censorship, and legal restraints on publication if it is accepted by the standards of morality and decency.
However, the grounds and definition strongly differs from different historical, cultural, and national contexts of what is or is not pornography. With the increasing utilization of VCDs, DVDs, the internet, and even cellphones, there is an enormous industry for the production and consumption of pornography that has grown over the past few decades.
Pornography has also greatly affects the appearance of social attitudes of people towards being more broadminded of sexual interpretations. Also, if we have actors and actresses in TV and radio mainstreams, there is also what we call “porn star” in the pornography scene. Moreover, amateur films of pornography have also become commonly popular and generally distributed through the web at no cost, at all.
What it does?
Pornography does not have anything to do with us. But, it does have to do with the human activity and behavior. There are instances that screening pornographic materials have led to abuses and violations to people involved. To name some, here are the things that pornography specifies with the result of such action and its consequences.
Increases violence and creates sexual crime. There are cases of human activity that leads to violence and that pornography is one. People are inclined to viewing such material and later want someone to let go of and relieve their intense emotion. But, it just suggests human behavior to be cruel and intends to hurt, damage, and worse kill.
Degrades women. Women are always on the very screen in most of the pornographic scenes. They oftentimes face the camera while men are at work. It only constitutes that women are on the go for sexual activity and creates the impression of degradation and humiliation in their part.
Dangerous to children. Parents are not every time putting an eye to their children. There are out-of-the-house activities that most parents are not aware of what their kids are doing. But, the most alarming one is that if these youngsters are indulging to activities like viewing pornographic materials. It perhaps damages not just the future of the kids but also their behavior, going out in the environment.
Spiritually deadening. It is a known fact that religious people are the most vocal foes of pornography, like any other sinful and immoral acts. It destroys a person’s spiritual sensibilities and faith to God. It could also be recalled that God sent people to earth and be multiplied, but it does not mean that people have to abuse what the Almighty have been telling His disciples.
The real score
Toptenreviews.com shares the findings on the Internet Pornography Statistics and said that it might appear that pornography has been incomprehensible as to the amount of pornography itself, but there are certain researches that have come across with the consumption statistics.
The compiled numbers of respected news and research organizations said that a single second creates $3,075.64 being spent only on pornography. However, there are 28,258 internet users that open such. During that time, there are also 372 web users that are typing adult search terms into search engines while every after 39 minutes, new pornographic video is being created.
According to the Internet Pornography Statistics, the amount of pornography on the web is very difficult to be understood. There are a total of 4.2 million websites with just 12 percent of it containing pornographic stuff or approximately a total of 100,000 websites that offer such while one of the seven youths have reported to have been searching it on the internet.
Moves to do
There might be legal rules and regulations anywhere around the globe or the country for that matter, it could not be avoided that pornography will still be available. If you are one of the many people who cry for anti-pornography campaign, here are some of the many things that one could do, to at least minimize such activity, if not totally eliminate it.
Recognize for what it is. Pornography is a dangerous sickness in the society. It just only represents violence, abuses, sex crimes, and the like. It perpetrates people from doing good act and even influences them. It is also a portrayal of indecent acts presented for the public and should not have been tolerated.
Create a healthy environment and set the example. Let retailers of pornographic materials know and understand what you feel by not patronizing it. Refuse to shop at stores that sell “skin” magazines. Set the example to the people around by personally avoiding publications, songs, TV programs, films, and the like in which sex is pegged to be cheapened or explicitly done. Also, talk tactfully but plainly to children about sex and pornography in terms that are appropriate to their age level and understanding, and encourage them to feel free to talk about the issue.
However, though it depends on how pornography is being utilized, the fact remains that it could drain somebody’s mind and behavior, and will influence someone to do immoral and wicked act.
Civilized and decent people are now becoming alarmed about the threat of pornography in the society. Because of great demand, on the internet and in general, it could barely be avoided and stopped especially if one will not be willing to do his/her part.
