What is the different of obscenity,pornography and indecency?
well, based on what i've read from internet. Obscenity is a legal term that applies to anything offensive to morals and is often equated with the term pornography. It also something that is obscene. Another sticking point in obscenity prosecutions involves the often overbroad interpretation of what is obscene. In recent years, state appellate courts have struck down laws that made it criminally obscene for a parent to photograph his or her own child playing in a bathtub or running nude on a beach.
Pornography, however, is a more limited term, which refers to the erotic content of books, magazines, films, and recordings. Obscenity includes pornography, but may also include nude dancing, sexually oriented commercial telephone messages, and scatological comedy routines. U.S. courts have had a difficult time determining what is obscene. This problem has serious implications, because if an act or an item is deemed obscene, it is not protected by the First Amendment. Pornography application examples is still and moving images, usually of women, in varying states of nudity, posing or performing erotic acts with men, women, animals, machines, or other props. Some say it degrades women, some say it corrupts young boys (who down-load it from the world wide web or exchange it on floppy disks). Most of it is in the form of JPEG images. Many web sites offer porn of all sorts, almost always for a subscription. It is said that these are a driving force in the evolution of new technology and techniques for the web. Advertisments for them certainly constitute a significant proportion of all spam. There are even pornographic computer games, an early example being Mac Playmate. Beware - many institutions, particularly universities, have strict rules against their computers and networks being used to transfer or store such things, and you might get corrupted.
Indecency is the state or a quality of being indecent,lack of modesty,taste or a propriety.
I think this three different words give almost the same meaning.
Personal reflection:
As for mlc class on this week. Nothing much to say. Mr RadziBedu coming into class and tell us to do this 800 words essay. Hopefully, my essay will achieve the standard so that I can get high marks and get no more assignment. Overall, i enjoy to go to mlc class. huhu:)
