Inured to Obscenity but Sensitive to Pornography: Aren’t Our Definitions
نویسنده
چکیده
With the increasing penetration of technological devices and access to Internet in the society, the exposure to obscene and pornographic material is increasing. There are various offline media like Television, Newspapers and Hoardings too that keep on serving with content eligible enough to be termed obscene and pornographic. The show business and commercial advertisements through the said media are indirectly doing damage equal to that done by pornographic websites directly. The current paper laments the thinning of line among content termed as romantic, erotic and prurient. There is a direct positive correlation between exposure to obscene and pornographic material and the vulnerability of young minds to get addicted to cheap pleasure. The paper presents analysis of latest on-goings in the field followed by factors leading to blurred definitions. It also presents discussion on current trend, possible future inclinations and recommends actions to be taken.
