Pornography

            
             Pornography started by way of messengers and scribes, then evolved.
             through the presentation of newspapers and radio, also brought us together with.
             television, and now serves us world-wide through the ever-popular Internet. It is.
             the mass media, and even from the earliest days of its existence, it has.
             contributed greatly in ways that both enlighten and enrich society, and ways that.
             deteriorate and perplex it. It is not a surprise to learn that the mass media is the.

             eyes. The media has been bombarded with criticism, overwhelmingly from the.
             female community, relative to the amount of sexually explicit material that is.
             published in magazines and that appears on television and in the cinemas. A.
             common argument against pornography is that the media portrays women as.
             being nothing more than sexual playthings and objects to satisfy male sexual.
             desires. As before, the media once again, is not to be held responsible for creating.
             this image; these views are products of society. It would be downright absurd to.
             assume that women in this society are treated as sexual objects only because the.
             media releases or broadcasts pornographic material. A magazine associated with.
