What Is Proposition 60
Proposition 60 is a bill that on paper and theoretically, is supposed to support and put an emphasis on people using safe sex measures. The bill requires adult performers such as porn stars, to wear condoms during sexual intercourse scenes and will also require the producers and companies to pay for testing of HIV and other STD's. The bill is highly controversial in California, where most of the porn industry exists and is mainly supported by government associations that are meant to prevent AIDS, whereas the opposing groups, mostly consist clubs, private organizations, and also workers’ rights advocate groups such as an Adult Performer Advocacy Committee. The opposition has also gained support from both the Democratic Party and Republican

    At what cost are citizens willing to go in exchange for protection? With the increasing amount of terrorist attacks such as the Orlando Shootings, the Paris Attacks, the Brussels Bombings, etc. occurring around the world with no end in sight, it is not a coincidence that paranoia and fear has risen as well. With more fear in the population, more political pressure is placed on the shoulders of the government, which Canada is no exception to. Due to this, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives has decided to enact Bill C-51, the anti-terror legislation, which essentially allows police, federal institutions and CSIS further powers to gather info and detain “potential terrorists”.

    In the colonial United States up to seventeen hundred, most of the settlers inhabiting the land happened to be of English origin. Although, they came from the same whereabouts, the two poles of the colonies, north and south, developed two distinct societies. For example, in the New England area the settlers developed an egalitarian, unified, and organized atmosphere, while in the Chesapeake region residents created an aristocratic, unloyal, and scattered environment. But, if they are of the same origin, how did they develop such divergent societies? This difference was a result of opposite immigration and settlement patterns, and motives.…

    Undeniably, Bill C-51 is necessary to fight against terrorist acts, especially because no one in the world should have to live in fear and worry about their safety. However, even though this bill protects Canadians, it should not do so by violating the rights and freedoms of the people who are being protected. In order for this bill to fulfill its purpose of protecting Canadians without infringing on their rights, it requires improvements that eliminate the imperfections of this bill. The best improvements for this bill is to honour and respect the privacy of citizens and to find an alternative that does not violate the rights and freedom of anybody.

    Protecting children from online pornography is a constant political issue on Capitol Hill, and local school boards could find themselves handed yet another federal mandate telling them how to do their jobs. The U.S. Senate recently added amendments to a large spending bill requiring schools and libraries to block student access to pornography on the Internet–despite any evidence that such institutions have turned themselves into electronic red-light districts. The toughest proposal is the Children's Internet Protection Act, sponsored by Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Fritz…

    When discussing the “XXX” industry, otherwise known as pornography or the adult film industry, people tend to discuss it in hushed tones, or rather not discuss it much at all. When it comes to sex in general, America generally is uncomfortable talking about sex and topics related to it. It should come as no surprise that the porn industry is treated in a similar fashion. Pornography, according to Sullivan, was considered “sexually 'explicit' writings, still or motion pictures and similar products designed to be sexually arousing,” (Sullivan, 2012, pg.321).…

    The people who are for Proposition 35 say that sexual trafficking is the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world. Supporters also point out that according to the FBI, California is home to three of the highest child sex trafficking areas in the nation, Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego. As a result, California needs to put more of their focus to prevent this especially when victims as young as 10 are being brought into it. Also, California’s laws on sexual trafficking are not as strict as they need to be. In a national study, California was given an ‘F’ on our sex trafficking laws. On a moral level, those who support this proposition believe these criminals must be held accountable for the severity of their…
