Outline
Introduction: Today people can find almost any information by using the Internet, which is full of different materials. Among web-resources, there are many web-sites and web-pages, which were made for children. Thus children became active internet-users as well and they can easily visit those web-sites. The problem is that at the same time children also have easy access to adult content like pornography.
Hook: This access causes particular dangers like psychological problems and wrong understanding of sex for young ones.
Thesis statement: …the problem can be solved by using content-filtering software, limiting access to pornography by internet service providers or government and strict parental control.
Background: Statistics about children having access to pornography. The expert’s opinion about the problem.
First solution: Usage of content-filtering software. Advantage: Effectiveness and simplicity of such type of software Disadvantage: It can be bypassed by circumventing software.
Second Solution: Limitation of access to pornography and prohibitions on the governmental basis. Advantage: Scales of limitation. Disadvantage: Limitations and prohibitions also can be bypassed.
Third solution: Strict parental control and supervision. Advantage: Children are more protected under the parental supervision. Disadvantage: It’s not guaranteed that children and their parents have trustful relationships.
Conclusion: There’s no completely effective way to solve the problem. (Plus my own opinion)
