activity 5&6

Pornography affects human action and thinking. It increases aggression in a person and commits violence. Aggressive attitudes and behaviors learned by imitating observed models.

 It is not violence itself but the context in which it is portrayed that can make the difference between learning about violence and learning to be violent.

Studies show that the more realistically violence is portrayed, the greater the likelihood that it will be tolerated and learned.

Fear of being the victim of violence is a strong motivation for some young people to carry weapon and to be more aggressive.

The ever growing of those passive pornographic videos indicate the effects on child, violence may be even more profound .young men rape woman because I believe that what they saw they do because of curiosity.

Berl Kutchinsky wrote a report on pornography for the American, in which he stated that there was no positive correlation between the availability of pornography and sexual violence. [Mar 2006]

Cathartic effect

Commission on Pornography is mostly based on research by Berl Kutchinsky. Kutchinsky had discovered that the relaxation of porn laws in Denmark and Sweden coincided with a decrease in reported sex crimes. But subsequent inspection of his study revealed that his correlation was poor, since he failed to account for other social factors, such as an abnormally high rape rate after the German occupation during WWII, which would have made any subsequent decrease of sex crimes seem statistically supportive of his original premise. Interestingly, Kutchinsky himself has since recanted his initial conclusions, noting that the rape rates of Denmark and Sweden have *increased* since he conducted his study. It should also be noted that Norway, which has a culture similar to Denmark and Sweden and far stricter laws against pornography, has had even greater success in combating sex crimes (34 percent decrease from 1970 go 1981, compared to a 14.2 percent decrease for Denmark).
