The Case Of ' Naked '

A commonly known myth about Edgar is that he was expelled for attending a drill in the nude. This isn’t completely true because he was expelled from West Point but not for being nude. According to the website, “Common Poe Myths” it says that Edgar was expelled for “absenting himself from parades and roll calls” and for refusing to attend church.

The pornographic industry has not lost their viewers, and the constant leaks of female celebrity personal pictures demonstrate that society has always sexualized women’s body for their pleasure. McRobbie states that there is a modern movement where women are free to choose for themselves. Females are choosing to go topless to prove breasts are merely body parts. Celebrities such as Bella Hadid and Rihanna walk the streets with see-through tops, making the appearance of their breasts nothing but a fashion statement. Many allegations are made saying self-exposing breasts comes from a lack of self-respect. The question arises, is it only acceptable for women to be topless for the pleasure of others? Not in the current pop culture world. Women are free to make their decisions, and they have decided their breasts are not to be sexualized. If a woman’s breast is out, she is doing it out of choice and for her

Throughout the history of art, the human figure has been a great muse to many artists. The female figure has especially rattled up immense conversation and controversy over many decades, allowing for groundbreaking and innovative depictions of the female nude to be soon discovered. Two of the most substantial pieces of the female nude: Aphrodite of Knidos (Figure 1) sculpted by Praxiteles (350-340 B.C.) in the Greek late classical period. This sculpture is a Roman copy of an original in Parian marble standing as a life size depiction of a nude goddess, which has seemingly never been done before (Kleiner 143). And secondly, the Birth of Venus (Figure 2), by Sandro Botticelli (1484-1486), was painted in the Early Italian Renaissance.

In September of 2012, 16 year old Canadian teen Amanda Todd was on an online video chat. In the chat, she was asked by a stranger to flash her chest, which she did. She only thought that the people in the chat would see it, but little did she know someone captured the image and held onto it. This person threatened Amanda with sending the picture to her friends. Soon enough, he actually did.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is one of the most recognizable organizations within the animal rights movement, due in part to their attention grabbing antics and controversial advertisements. While PETA has been successful in creating visual rhetoric that generally appeals to the audience’s cognitive reasoning and emotions they are often not successful in catalyzing actual change in behaviour.

In today’s society, the influence of social media, politics, and the blame of women, ignite a new way of publicly humiliating others. Initially, social media created a way to communicate with others and receive updates through one’s life. As the power of this concept grew, and the more advanced technology created, people started to bully over the internet; called cyberbullying. Many incidents of cyberbullying occur, which grew into the primary way of bullying. Politics represent America, and essentially define the country. As a whole, eliminating public shame pertains to one of the goals of this country, but if representatives start to persuade the society, fundamentally, everyone will accept the thought of public humiliation. Lastly, the stereotypical perception of women is known as blaming another for one’s actions or their appearance. As this stands in people’s minds, many are blind to the fact that women actually receive shame for their bodies, self, and jobs more than men. The law now participates in the action of stopping the shame, but also intervenes with the supervision of prostitution, sex trafficking, and any illegal operations women participate in. With the influences of social media, politics, and the two sides of women in public shaming, this concept brings forth attention to the society itself. It calls for help in the world, to stop this humiliation and shaming of others

After reading “The Naked Bosom,” it is evident there are specific course concepts that can help someone better understand this short story. To begin, when Mr. Palomar first notices the naked woman on the beach and immediately looks away from her, he illustrates one of the norms, or expected behaviors, of our society. Mr. Palomar knows, through culture and socialization, that it is not socially acceptable to look at a naked woman, even if it is at the beach, so he looked away. Secondly, when Mr. Palomar doesn’t want to bother the naked woman with his presence, he actually shows her the curtesy of civil inattention, or the idea of giving people privacy in public spaces. Mr. Palomar knows that if he were to go and approach her, the naked woman

Rembrandt van Rijn was a Dutch artist well known for his many paintings and etchings of landscapes, figures and animals. His subjects included biblical, secular and mythological scenes. Rembrandt also dabbled in the nude even though they were not popular among his contemporaries. Rembrandt’s nudes were his interpretation of the real human body. He painted every wrinkle and every fold of the body. Rembrandt’s nudes were not considered ugly and grotesque. His nudes were unlike the Greek goddesses his colleagues would portray. There has been some debate and questions as to whether or not Rembrandt used the most important women in his life as models for his nude masterpieces. The most important women in his life were his wife Saskia, his son's

Whistleblowing is when a person discloses unethical activity that occurs within a company. However, it did not occur much throughout the video and instead the people sending out the shocks. If someone had stood up and said this is wrong I cannot continue, there ethics would have been right. Additionally, if they threatened to report it if they did not cease their experiment could prevent others being harmed. Yet the gain of power was stronger and it makes people wonder how far would a person go before their ethics come into play.

What is pornography? According to the dictionary pornography means “Obscene writings, drawings, photographs”. Yet, many people disagree with what is consider to be pornography in society today. Susan Brownmiller is a feminist activist who wrote an essay “ Lets Put Pornography Back in the Closet” argues that pornography should be not be protect by the 1st Amendment or be allowed into society. Meanwhile, Susan Jacoby a writer of “ A First Amendment Junkie” disagrees with Brownmiller because she believes that it’s everyone’s right and that society should not be able to censor pornography. Should society let the government censor pornography just because we may not approve this type of act. I agree with both of the writer’s that pornography should

With reference to relevant cultural theories analyse the representation of sexuality in a film/television text of your choice.

Toplessness is legal in Europe, Canada, parts of Africa and Australia. Some arguments of not legalizing female toplessness, is that it will lead to more sexual assaults and rape of women, which it will not. The United States is the 6th country with the highest rape rates, whereas Canada, who has made toplessness legal, is the 7th country with the lowest rape rates. Once toplessness becomes legal, society will adapt and soon will desexualize and normalize women's breasts.

The sexualization of women and girls surround Americans and is damaging to females as well as to American society. Females receive the sexualized messages regarding their appearance and how they should act via the media, retailers, and American society’s acceptance of these behaviors. As a mother, Girl Scout Leader, and school paraprofessional I cannot help but to question are these messages inflicting psychological damage on girls? Whom can I hold accountable for sexualizing female youth? What can I do to prevent sexualization from affecting all of the young girls in my life? The sexualization of girls is unacceptable because it is degrading to females, can cause serious life-long psychological damage and sexist attitudes, and may lead to violence against women and girls.

Humanity has struggled with determining the best option to solve their ethical dilemmas that they run into in their life. Analyzing and determining the best option to take can leave an individual lost in faith and building a relationship with God. Building a God foundation in your life will help you in every ethical dilemma that you face. The only way to solve an ethical dilemma with viewing pornography is to view the dilemma according to a Christian worldview and compare different options to solve the ethical dilemma.

For many years there has been a lot of arguments about the ethical and morality of pornography. pornography is defined as the depiction of erotic behavior intended to cause sexual excitement. When it coms down to pornography, people have different opinions about it. Some people might find it moral because it gives them pleasure and it satisfies them physically. some individuals see it as a form of art that describes the figure of a human body in an artistic form. Others see it as immoral because it harms and degrades an individual. Personally I believe that it all depends how pornography is conducted and how we respond to it. It can be morally healthy that we like it because it makes us happy, such as it helps with your marriage relationship in intimacy, and it can be immoral when it is used in an unhealthy that we do not like it because hurts an innocent person.
