Sexually Explicit Materials

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the legal aspect of censoring sexually explicit materials. The author presents both sides of the issues and a conclusion.

From the Paper:

"The past few decades have seen an increase in the amount of sexually explicit material available to the general public. Television has become lax in what it allows on the screen, Internet sites with porn are abundant and Howard Stern created a worldwide controversy with his radio show. Debates have raged regarding the censorship of sexually explicit material. Those who are against censorship point to the first amendment while those who want censorship allege the founding fathers had NO idea what would be available in the future, so their amendment cannot be used in this situation. While the general public should have the right to be protected from sexually explicit materials, the decision to censor will put the nation on a slippery slope. The decision to censor material, needs to come from individual choices, not government intervention."
