The meaning and differences between Obscenity ,Pornography ,and Indecency.

Obscenity is a term that is most often used in a legal context to describe expressions (words, images, actions) that offend the prevalent sexual morality of the time. It is often replaced by the word salaciousness.
Pornography or porn is the explicit depiction of sexual subject matter with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer. It is to a certain extent similar to erotica, which is the use of sexually arousing imagery.Pornography may use any of a variety of media—printed literature, photos ,sculpture ,drawing ,painting ,animation ,sound recording ,film ,video ,or video game.However ,when sexual acts are performed for a live audience, by definition it is not pornography, as the term applies to the depiction of the act, rather than the act itself.
Indecency is the quality or state of being indecent ; want of decency, modesty, or good manners.Its also can describe as obscenity.
Those things are different because obscenity is considered as nauseating ,fetid or morally unhealthy.Pornography is pertaining to depiction of sexual immorality or erotic behaviour.

Critical Reflection

As for now,all those things can be found in many types of media.For example,television ,magazines ,internet ,and photos.It is because,the director of those media can increase the viewer for their product.But those illegal things is a bad influences for a child or teenagers.
Although,
Obscenity,Pornography ,and Indecency is a bad thing to watch.Kids will act the same things before before their matured or getting married.
