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.

MEDIA LITERACY

Media literacy
is the process of accessing, analyzing, evaluating and creating messages in a wide variety of media modes, genres and forms. It uses an inquiry-based instructional model that encourages people to ask questions about what they watch, see, and read. Media literacy education provides tools to help people critically analyze messages to detect propaganda,censorship and bias in news and public affairs programming (and the reasons for such), and to understand how structural features *such as ,media ownership,Media literacy or its funding model affect the information presented.Media literacy is an expanded conceptualization of literacy. By transforming the process of media consumption into an active and critical process, people gain greater awareness of the potential for misrepresentation and manipulation (especially through commercials and public relations techniques), and understand the role of mass media and participatory media in constructing views of reality.(from;wikipedia)

Assignment


SOSIAL MEDIA IN PLAIN ENGLISH

From this video,i've find out my own opinion......

I think social media would consist of one flavor, and one flavor only. If other flavors came along, the people would reject it. After years and years of having the one flavor, other flavors wouldn't seem tasty, no matter how it was rated from people in other towns.In theory,that's how it works.In practice, everything falls apart (mostly due to the content, and the people, there's nothing really wrong with the system). However, as you can see with politics being a prime (but not the only) example, the Social (alternative) media is not left alone by those in power.
