Positive affect of porn on relationships

Porn is a very highly discussed topic and people have very strong views and opinions about porn itself.  A very common question that happens to occur with porn is whether or not it affects relationships.  Some people believe that it does while others believe it does not.  There are points to back up both views but personally I believe porn can be perfectly fine with relationships and not affect them at all. Pornography has been around since the history of time.  A lot of people say that it destroys relationships by giving guys unrealistic expectation of girls.  On Oprah, Rabbi Shmuley says that porn is a form of sexism and that it is a form of a drug.  First off, porn is not a form of sexism.  Girls chose to become porn stars and that is their choice.  There are the same opportunities for guys as well, porn just happens to appeal to men more so than women and that is why it is labeled as a form of sexism.  Also, porn is viewed as a drug which is also not true.  Drugs alter the state of your mind.  Porn does not.  Yes people can become addicted to porn, but people can become addicted to chewing gum, but it doesn’t make gum a drug.  In Men’s Health it actually states that porn can help your marriage by keeping things exciting.  If both watch it together it can be very useful. Porn is always frowned upon in society, but personally I think it’s great.  It can be called a drug, but in the long run it actually can help when used correctly.  Everyone has their own opinion but I personally think that porn does not affect relationships.

Social Networking Sites & Society

One of the largest social networks out there right now is Facebook. It has swept the nation and is contining to grow at a rapid rate. Children use it, teenagers espcially use it, and even alot of older adults as well. My excuse to use facebook was that I could still keep in contact with people that I normally don't talk to on a daily basis. Old friends would add me as friend on it, or a stranger that I just met adds me on there and automatcially knows alot of my life based on my profile. This social network has changed alot of individuals in the world, and its now effecting society to the fullest. Our generation now is at the peak where technology does all the talking for us while we sit back and watch the show. Facebook has now made it easier for friends all over the world to still keep in contact with each other despite distance or having a mobile device. Many teenagers and college students ( which facebook was orginally intented for) use facebook everyday, and I say that not only for their benefit but for others as well. Promoting for companies have been and are still continuing to advertise for their business all over this phenonmeonal social networking site. Thats only how facebook has collected so much revenue over past couple of years, all thanks to advertiers. Since all of these young adults and kids are on social networking sites so often they get accustommed to only speaking to other people by typing on a keyboard rather than having a full conversation with them looking eye to eye like civilized human beings usually do when encountering each other for the first time. Many people think its great that you don't have to ever deal with confrontation, consequences, or awkardness. Thats why you see alot of internet smack talk happening daily, mainly because that person does not have the courage to say that certain thing to their face. In my opinon facebook is okay if regulated but their should be a limit on how much you are on social networking sites. I say this because I believe every person in this world should take advantage of the outdoors and see the sites that are so beautifully laid out for us as human beings on this earth. Using facebook excessivly could possible result in depression and make you a very lonely person if you are just satisfied with a random person on the internet that could be lying entire about their apperance, age, or even sex.

Video Games Affecting The Youth of our Nation

As you already know video games play a very large role in a childs everyday life. Wheather its at home, at a friends house, or in a car, your child is probably playing it. I, myself, am a really big gamer and as a personal experience I did tend to be a more violent child after playing violent video games. Most of the time I wanted the most gory, bloody, violent video game on the market because it was cool to watch and fun to copy as play acting. I took advantage of the fact that my parents did not know that certain games have rating systems and you have to be a certain age to aquire them. Having said that, Im quite positive that have pulled the same scandal as I did. Overall though I feel as though that video games did make me violent, but it was mostly for extra moves in my play fighting. I believe it really depends on the childs behavior overall and personalitly. There have been studies shown that show certain children spend adleast 5 hours a day on average a day playing video games and since they spend this much time sitting in front of a screen with the acts of brutal violence happening because of their commands sends a negative message to the child. In the violent video game you are rewarded for bad behavior: killing someone, capturing them, hurting them, in order to win the game. Some scientists believe that by watching this repetitive violent behavior it comes natural for the child to perform these actions in reality without even realizing it. I agree to some extent that it is true, but the statement is a bit plan outta porportion and exagerrated to say the least. Personally, I believe that if you are a parent you should be the one controlling what you kids watch or play at certain age. If you aren't apart of that supervision than you have no right to complain if your child so called ends up being a violent lunitic. In conclusion, its the parents fault for these type of violent acts being played out and cracking down on your kids everyday lives is the only way to protect them from being influenced by the wrong media.
