Digital Sex: Pornography and the Pornification of Society

I just delivered my seminar entitled "Digital Sex: Pornography and the Pornification of Society" this morning as part of the Professional Issues in Digital Media module. Phew! I really enjoyed researching the topic and am thinking of going into further detail on the issue for my final report. I discussed the varying definitions of pornography around the globe as well as pornography in terms of different ethical frameworks: Deontological, Consequentialist, Utilitarian, Feminist, Virtue. I came across some interesting landmark court cases in the states that have had serious consequences for the issue of Internet pornography and pornography in general. I might focus on the debate about virtual child pornography and it's legality and morality for my final report. A slideshow of my seminar can be found here for anyone interested.
