RCG ; Porn Industry & Stereotypes

For this class we discussed about the pornography industry once again and about stereotypes.

The industry of pornography is increasing a great deal these days, even though people do not want to admit it, it is very clear that it is happening. In the reading assignment Naked Capitalist it told you that it is a much bigger industry than people come to realize. Most of the people around the world even buy, rent, or watch pornography, however, all of these people do not want other people to know that they do such things. In our society this industry is really frowned upon and looked at with true disgust and that it does not belong in our society like they put it off as in this country and around the world. Though the pornography is here to stay for quite awhile, even the news tries to hide it from the world and if something bad happens or even something good they try to keep it from being put on air because they are ashamed of this industry and how bad it looks for them as well as the people in it. Even though the people who are in this industry probably love it because it is an easy job and pays very well and they will keep getting paid because people will still keeping buying their magazines or tapes just not having the guts to admit they like it. We said in class how people who watch it will never ever admit to ever buying it let alone being able to admit that they do watch it. The only people who probably are not embarrassed to admit that they watch it are college guys who really do not care what other people say or think about them because they think that is what they are suppose to do in college. However, as those men get older it is more frowned upon and then the secrets start building up that they still watch porn occasionally or buy magazines of it. I do not mean to pick on the males but I am just sure that the majority of people who buy porn are men, even though i am sure there are females who do as well. I just believe the men overweight the females in this category on this specific subject of who watches porn more. We also talked about stereotypes in this class. Stereotypes are widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. It is a person or thing that conforms to such an image. No one should be treated like a stereotype because that is not who that certain person is. Stereotyping has been happening for so long i do not think people know how to stop putting people in those little groups and saying they are like this or that. No one person is the same, therefore, could not possible fit into a group stereotype that was made in the past by people who were bored with their lives and started saying that kind of stuff to themselves. In conclusion, for this class we talked about how the pornography industry is growing fast but greatly frowned upon by society and the fact stereotypes are bad but are not going anywhere soon.
