The First Monday Of October

Pornography sure has changed over time. In the 1970s, one would have to go to a certain theatre to see pornographic videos. Today, in 2009, any person can find any completely explicit pornographic videos by simply searching the web. In fact, now-a-days, people can even make their own videos directly on their computers and send them to websites such as, youporn. Many people, men and women alike, are disturbed by such explicit material. But times have changed. In today’s society the mainstream music is ruled by explicit rap lyrics about sex and violence. The question is - does our society value security or freedom more? Undoubtedly, this has been the question throughout time.
My stand on the matter is that freedom is more valuable than security. Sure, morals are important but our country was based on freedom. Every person in our country has a right to do whatever they want as long as it does not harm anyone physically in the process. Pornography is explicit material. If one is so offended by such material, they should not choose to watch it. Pornography is certainly not forced upon anyone. With the development of the internet, pornography has become completely unavoidable and so what? Most people know what occurs in the bedroom behind closed doors. If watching pornography is your thing, so be it. Everyone has a right to do what makes them happy. Who is to say what material is too explicit for one to observe?
