J.M Coetzee's "The Harms Of Pornography"
Number of words: 1903 | Number of pages: 7.... According
to author J.M. Coetzee and his article "The Harms of Pornography", the real
questions here are, "what is the difference between obscenity and pornography",
and even more importantly, "where do we draw the line between the two"? Coetzee
brings up a good point here. A point on which the entire debate over pornography
hinges. What is the defenition of "obscenity"? An excerpt from a speech by Mike
Godwin, Online Counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation, gives a good

Pornography: Sex Or Subordination?
Number of words: 2310 | Number of pages: 9.... in more unstable minds?
According to Edward Donnerstein, a leading researcher in the pornography

pornography needs considerable study and examination. Once the evidence .....

when you understand the child, then you can give the appropriate punishment.
Another important factor in discipline is to make sure that the teen
understands why what they have done is wrong, and show them scripture to explain
it. If a child does not know why what they have done is bad, they will likely
do it again.

friends' language, and general behavior. This is o .....

Intimacy
Number of words: 1028 | Number of pages: 4.... first step is initiating which is
making contact with the other person and showing that you are the kind of person
worth talking to. Our relationship was initiated as soon as I was brought into
this world and facilitated by the fact that we were brother and sister. The
next step is experimenting which is deciding whether we want to pursue a
relationship further by using small talk and the like. Since I was unable to
talk at the time, my sister and I dismissed this step. Next comes the step of
intensifying when the expression of feelings become more common. This came
quite naturally to the two of us. People were always asking .....

The Hype: Television
Number of words: 826 | Number of pages: 4.... of a button, the television takes viewers "out of the 'real' world in which [they] reside and can place [them] at a basketball game, the back alleys of Maine, the streets of Bucharest, or the cartooning living rooms of Sitcom land (Hamill, 375).

Violence In The Media
Number of words: 440 | Number of pages: 2.... there are more scenes of mindless violence than there
are actual scenes of acting. These movies are aimed at the lowest common

not, and can not, keep us from seeing what we want to see.
Just for a moment, let's pretend we live in a future where TV containing
sex or violence is illegal, and so are video games and any other medium. Now, if
we want to see sex, under agers are going to have sex. If y .....
