innocence of a pornstar

April 10, 2014 Assignment #5: Injustice towards Pornstar

A person’s life is filled with conflicts but not all the conflicts deal with them disagreeing with them or are important enough to write about. I faced this exact problem when it came to the decision of choosing a topic to write, but I hit an eureka moment, when I thought, “Why not write about a recent viral news that made me chose sides?”. So, here I am writing how I totally support Belle Knox, the Duke pornstar, who paid her tuition my doing pornographic films.

Recently, a freshman from Duke University, decide to go in the pornography industry, so she could afford to pay her university tuition. Surprisingly, the school has no problem with her doings, but apparently for this girl the university is not the issue, it’s the media and the outside world that is looking down on her with disappointment and anger. People have called her names at her school, which has basically made her avoid people; news reporters have questioned her and basically debated about her choice of having a pornographic career. It become a hot topic and was on every media source for a week. The media was the reason she was exposed and forwarded to the world. Her intentions were simple. Since she was a nymphomaniac, she did what she loves to do as an source of income. She kept it private and legal, until some one leaked the video to the media. Third, the university, her parents, her friends, and millions of viewers that appreciated her work supported what she did. These are some facts that everyone should know because, the news anchors do a very good job burying them with their morals and advertising their views.
The most ironic part of this commotion is that the media is focusing on Belle for her choices, but not the reason she was pursuing this choice. The reason was to her tuition off. The media has totally neglected the fact that tuition rates are so high, that

    Also, imagine the impression she gave those police officers at 3 a.m. on a Sunday if they arrested her on suspicion of driving under the influence. Clearly she didn't look like a responsible citizen at the time in regards to her previous actions. Also, if we take a look at her social status as a former actress, we might understand that she had the means, the motives and the supporting peers of the same social standing that made it easier for her to behave eccentrically and abnormally. That being said, we should also consider the fact that she was driving under the influence of a drug that was prescribed to her by a doctor, and there are claims that she might be bipolar and schizophrenic - that…

    The Duke Lacrosse Scandal

    • 3838 Words
    • 16 Pages

    The problem to be investigated is the Duke Lacrosse scandal, which decimated a top collegiate athletic program and cast a negative shadow over one of the top academic universities. Duke University had one of the top men’s lacrosse programs in the county, which had won numerous national championships. Unfortunately, the decisions and actions of some of the team members threatened to destroy the reputation of the lacrosse program and the entire university. The media and society have developed a large appetite for scandal that is still evident today, whether it is due to sex, drugs, cheating or spying (Mazanov & Connor, 2010). The real life drama of the Duke lacrosse team was spread out over several months and included the lacrosse season being cancelled, three players indicted on rape charges, a crooked prosecutor, turncoat faculty members and administrators, irate neighbors and even dirty cops, all of whom had their own personal agendas (Jennings, 2009). The story was also fueled with the racist overtones, which alluded to the rich white athletes who sexually abused the poor inner-city black female stripper. This case is a reminder of the destructive power of racism fueled by political correctness and a desire to gain political influence by any means.…

    Katie Couric explains that “The media can be an instrument of change, it can maintain the status quo and reflect the views of the society or it can, hopefully awaken people and change minds” (Miss Representation). The Media has the potential of awakening people about the problems around the world, but has so far made women only question their potentials. The only way for change to occur is if media is challenged to value women’s smarts, achievements, and goals rather than just their beauty. However, “if the media is solely used to send girls the message that their only purpose and value is to serve the world their bodies, it can only disempower and distract them from obtaining power and leadership in their future” (Miss…

    All humans are subject to express their own personal opinions on certain topics, whether it be relevant to the world or just specifically in their community; however, it is the content of what people share and the words in which they use that makes the difference between meaningful topics and irrelevant ones. In other words, one has to draw the line from purposeful discussions which form deeper knowledge in a person’s mind about the point of controversy and unnecessary videos that do not have a specific purpose. For example, discussing if the environment schools create for growing students affects their creativity in a negative fashion helps open peoples’ perspectives, guiding them to think critically about a school’s teachings; this is oppose…

    It is imperative to understand the theories and perspectives in order to explore the morality or immorality of pornography. Theories that touch on ethics include utilitarianism, deontology as well as ethical egoism just to mention but a few. Ethical theories attempt to explain the rationale behind people’s actions especially when distinguishing what is right or wrong. Analyzed from the perspective of ethics, Pornography, considered the one of the oldest professions, prostitution and other acts of pornography, is an art form that ancient civilizations drew on walls, therefore, considered moral. Specifically,…

    What I have learned in this class is that as time goes by society rules and norms about gender, and sexuality in the media changes over time. With each generation it’s different when it comes to gender and sexuality. I have learn that the media only present what the public show them, but the media choose to show the negative because that’s what sell and gets people attention. Even if what the media is representing negative or bad, I feel like the media inform people about thing that they do not pay attention to. For example, when new media began to report on teenage suicides, it brought attention to bulling of queer youth (Fyling and Pacelry, 2012). I learned in this class to be more aware of these topics and use the knowledge that have on these topics.…
