Essay / Research Paper Abstract
4 pages in length. The way in which pornography affects behavior and elicits harmful mental and/or physical responses is based most fundamentally upon the gender, age and psychological composition of the individual engaging in the activity. Consenting adults have a much different reaction - both instinctively and through social constructs - than do children who are not emotionally equipped to digest the grown-up implications. At the same time, however, pornography has been found to be a beneficial component of intimacy for both genders, a duality that demonstrates both the positive and negative aspects of this oft-debated social mainstay. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

at some level whether that is through modeling the behavior or modifying attitudes, values and relationships is both grand and far-reaching; that this impact is involuntary upon a vulnerable psyche
speaks to the conflict that can - and typically does - arise between children and their parents. The prevalence of Internet pornography has
many grand implications, however, none is quite as important as the connection with children. One of the most frightening aspects of online pornography and childrens ability to access it
how many times these sites are reached purely by accident. A child in search of the latest doll or video game will insert the word "toy" into the search
engine and inadvertently pull up adult sex toy sites. Whether or not they understand the location to which they have arrived is not the issue; rather, the fact that
there are no differentiating criteria to prevent the cross-reference in the first place is what needs to be focused upon in a legal manner. Given a childs inherent curiosity,
