Portrayal Of Sexuality In Television
Thus, it is important to examine how much portrayals of sexuality in televisions. From Kunkel’ research, they found that “between 2001 and 2002, only six percent of all scenes with sexual content incorporate any message about the risks or responsibilities of sexual activity”. Description of risks and negative consequences was found in nearly two percent of all scenes with sexual content. Therefore, to avoid evolving into controversy, the media should suggest the negative consequences in the sexual content in order to educate the teenagers to have healthy values about sex. Moreover, parents also need to play a critical role in guiding and educating their child to have health knowledge about sex.
The effects of violence are also of concern today.
“Aristotelian Approach suggests that the measure to judge whether an action is ethical or not is whether or not the action is compatible with one’s inherent human capacities” (Donaldson and Werhane, 1999). People who are exposed to violence for a long term can develop aggressive and violent behaviors in their daily life. They are easy to get angry, and ten to be violent. This violent behavior is not compatible with people’s inherent human capacities; therefore, the use of sexuality and violence as a way to increase audience rating and acquire profits is unethical.
