Married Comedy online dating Information

Mark Wicclair argues that we should be very wary about the censorship of pornography,
even if pornography, as Helen Longino defines it, exists. In order to fully understand
Wicclair's reason for being wary of the censorship of pornography it is important that we
use Helen Longino's definition of pornography. Helen Longino defines pornography as
"[the] verbal or pictoral explicit representations of sexual behavior that...have as a
distinguishing characteristic 'the degrading and demeaning portrayal of the role
and status of the human female...as a mere sexual object to be exploited and
manipulated sexually (p.43)."
Helen Longino's definition can be used as the basis of numerous arguments dealing with
pornography. In this paper, I will deal with only one controversial aspect of
pornography. That aspect is the censorship of pornography. Although Wicclair raises
several reasons for being wary of the censorship of pornography, I will discuss only two
of those objections in this paper.
The first reason Wicclair gives for his claim that we should be wary about the
censorship of pornography is that negative side effects are likely to occur if pornography
is censored. Wicclair focuses his argument on the slippery slope effect, which he claims
is a negative effect of the censoring of pornography. In this context, the slippery slope
effect is defined by Wicclair as "...a serious risk that once any censorship is allowed, the
power to censor will, over time, expand in unintended and undesirable directions
(p.382)." This definition along with "...the fact that it is extremely difficult, if not
impossible, to formulate unequivocal and unambiguous criteria for censorship (Wicclair
p. 382)," Wicclair makes the conclusion that "[t]he slippery slope effect will
eventually...suppress the rights, interests, and values of others (p.382)."
I agree with Wicclair's first reason for his argument against the censorship of
pornography. I also believe that the censorship of pornography will cause the slippery
slope effect. Because the slippery slope effect is extremely difficult to stop once it has
been started, I believe the censorship of pornography will lead to the suppression of many
freedoms of expression. When many freedoms of expression are suppressed then
censorship no longer effects just pornography in Longino's sense. Therefore, I believe
that by censoring pornography citizens of American will most likely have less expressive
liberty.
I also believe that once Longino's definition of pornography is censored, the
slippery slope effect will continually occur, as its name implies. Thus, the argument of
censoring pornography as Longino defines it would cease to exist and the argument of
censoring pornography as a less explicit definition than Longino's would then take
precedence. I believe that the redefining of pornography would continue to occur
allowing new censorship arguments to rise. This snowball effect (the slippery slope
effect) will eventually impact numerous aspects of American life that were not intended
to be effected by the original argument for censoring pornography.
Though I could give several examples that redefining pornography eventually
effects American life, I will give only two examples: education and economy. First,
continually redefining pornography will eventually lead to the censorship of education
because pornographic material, even as Longino defines it, is discussed and visually
presented in most higher educational institutions. Many college courses could not be
taught if it were not for the liberty to openly discuss and watch pornography and all its
aspects. If we begin to censor pornography, then the some aspects of the educational
system will eventually disappear, such as certain health courses, and students in higher
education will be slighted. Second, if pornography continues to be redefined the
economy will be impacted. With the slippery slope effect, the definition of pornography
will become so strict that many advertisements, movies, and art could not be displayed.
The censorship of pornography in the television industry alone could lead to the loss of
billions of dollars. More importantly, many artists and photographers who depict certain
sexual scenes may be put out of work. So, that is why I believe the slippery slope effect
will keep redefining pornography and allowing for the argument of censorship to
encroach on many aspects of American life.
A second reason Wicclair gives for his argument that we should be wary of
censoring pornography is "that exposure to pornography has a cathartic effect and that it
therefore produces a net reduction in harm to women (Wicclair p.383)." Wicclair further
explains
[t]his claim [the cathartic claim] is based upon two assumptions, neither of
which has proven to be false: (1) Men who are not already violence-prone are
more likely to be 'turned off' than to be 'turned on by depiction's of rape,
brutality, dismemberment, etc. (2) For men in the later category, exposure to
pornography can function as a substitute for actually causing harm (Wicclair
p. 383).
This quote explains Wicclair's definition of the cathartic effect in the context of
pornography, although the cathartic effect can be applied to many aspects of life.
I agree with Wicclair's second reason for why we should be wary of censoring
pornography. I believe that people who are not mentally and physically attracted to
violence are not mentally or physically attracted to depiction's of violence in
pornography. In addition, I believe that violent depictions in pornography act as an outlet
for those people who are attracted physically and mentally to violent depiction's in
pornography. In other words, I too believe in the cathartic effect.
I believe it is important to understand that the only reason an object or idea
should be censored is if that object or idea violates an American law, such as the first
amendment to the constitution. Although advocates of censorship believe that the
"...censorship of pornography is a legitimate means of preventing harm to women
(Wicclair, p. 383)" and the fact there are documented cases of pornography leading to
violent crime, I believe laws censoring pornography, as Longino defines it, should not be
made. I believe this because by making censorship laws for pornography, as Longino
defines it, a citizens rights and liberties will be infringed upon instead of being protected.
Laws are made in America for many reasons, but for the most part, they are made to
protect the rights and liberties of a citizen, which are outlined by the constitution, and
these laws are made with the majority of citizens in mind. By making censorship laws
for pornography, citizens will no longer have the liberty to read, use, or watch whatever
they choose. The first amendment right, which includes freedom of speech, may be
infringed upon. More importantly, I believe it is invalid to make censorship laws for
pornography just because a hundred or even a thousand cases of violent pornographic
rape scenes were acted out. It is most likely that those people involved in those cases
will still act out violent depiction's of rape once pornography is censored. Therefore, we
should be wary about censoring pornography because it will only hinder our rights and
liberties and it will not prohibit violent rape scenes from being depicted. That is why I
agree with Wicclair's second reason for being wary of censoring pornography and
believe we should be careful in the pornography censorship laws we make because they
will not necessarily protect our rights and liberties as citizens.
In this paper, I have shown that Mark Wicclair believes the slippery slope effect
will greatly impact American life because the slippery slope effect will lead to the
constant redefining of pornography. I have also shown that the cathartic effect is a valid
argument for why we should be wary about the censorship of pornography because it
shows that censorship laws will not necessarily prohibit violent depictions of rape from
being acted out and that our rights and liberties, such as the first amendment, will be
infringed upon. I have supported those reasons with my own beliefs and logical
reasoning. Thus, making both the slippery slope effect and the cathartic effect valid
reasons for why Wicclair and myself believe we should be wary of censoring
pornography. It is essential to ask whether or not the issue impedes on an American
value or violates a law. I have shown in this paper, through Wicclair's reasons as well as
my own, that we should be wary about the censorship of pornography.Mark Wicclair argues that we should be very wary about the censorship of pornography,
