Based on the principle of accountability, filmmakers should not be held legally responsible for the actions of moviegoers. Another opposing argument states filmmakers should be at fault because they show a false sense of reality in their movies. Several supporters of this idea criticize the filmmakers’ lack of consequences in the movies. In multiple movies, the bad guy gets away without any retribution for the crimes they committed. The lack of consequences in the movies leads to deliberate, heinous crimes in which the perpetrator thinks he can get away with his actions.
The idea of legal paternalism in ethical reasoning is somewhat of a kind gesture from the Government to try to help individuals from themselves in the assumption that those individuals do not know what is best for them. But, forcing individuals to paternalistic laws in order to protect them is limiting their natural born rights and is unconstitutional. The Government must respect people's choices because respecting individuals choices manifest a respect for them as liberated individuals protected by the constitution of the United States. Government should not interfere with people's personal lives; because
This was necessary because the sentence was so inadequate that it needed to be changed for Thomas and his family in order to achieve justice as well as to deter acts of alcohol fuelled violence by emphasising to society that this behaviour is no longer acceptable. The fact that the case was appealed highlights that the law is responsive to meeting society’s needs, but this raises the question why should the public have to ‘outcry’ before justice is achieved for victims. The appeal meant that Thomas’s family had to relive the whole night again therefore it wasn’t in their best interests as instead of saying goodbye and remembering Thomas they had to relive the entire case and events to get an
So, the limit between Eroticism and Hardcore is the view of an explicit sexual act. Porno chic is on the contrary a way to insert pornography in a communication media as advertising. The “sexual revolution” The specialists agree to make the “sexual revolution” start in the middle of the Sixties when the first generation of the baby boomers are about to reach their 20’s. The female body is revealed. The miniskirts make their appearance in 1965, while the first naked bosoms are shown with the cinema.
Censorship is the idea of not revealing ideas and text in order to benefit society. But in many ways, censoring items causes the world to create biased thoughts based on the limited information released. In some cases the world is blinded because they are told nothing to begin with. Historical events such as the holocaust can prove this true. To this day society continues to be censored from ideas by the government and companies that impact our ways of life and learning.
Today, it seems that media is censored so much that the American people have almost been made to be soft, which plays a completely different role in the ethics of a photojournalist. I know that this doesn’t really go off exactly what the chapter says, but, (in my opinion) I think that ethics is effected by the censorship, in the way that: Because we have been withheld from so much of what has been going on in the war that we’re in, we are finding it ethically wrong to run some of the more traumatic photos out of fear that the American people can’t handle the
Until we as a society take the time to understand the roots of stereotyping and discrimination and take a good look at our own thought, we will never move forward. The movie Crash makes us think outside the box at our own lives and fears, so we can realize that we’re more alike than we think, and we should be judged as an individual not categorized into a stereotyped group. We should behave and try and understand and accept other cultures, customs instead of being
Not every state agrees that gay marriage is wrong and illegal, but if the federal government were to pass a amendment outlawing gay marriage then every state who allows gay marriage would have to declare it unconstitutional and against the law. This shows that the federal and state governments have different restrictions. The state government protects the people of the state but the federal government protects everything in this country. Once something is declared unconstitutional, it will over ride any state government policy. Some people have mixed emotions about the way the government works but overall the relationship between state and federal governments protect the everyday
According to Dr. Edward Younkins, By legally requiring that people behave in certain ways not in their best interests in carrying out their professional tasks, regulation can distort firms' behavior and choices. By forcing the terms of exchange, regulation requires people to transfer value directly to other people. Since the terms of a regulated exchange are coerced, they are against the judgment of at least one of the participants in the transaction. The purpose of regulation is to have government intervene in order to force an exchange that would not be agreed upon in free market. (Government Regulation: Enemy of Individualism) In the movie theater industry there also has to be rules and regulations.
This has worried human rights activists as such active surveillance will erode the freedom of ordinary people. Such forms of surveillance is more of a restriction to the people’s rights and choices to act freely, confining them to agree with the Government, never to question them. Such is an act of oppression that does not work in the ‘best interest’ of the people. By Locke’s take on the social contract, since the State has “ceased to uphold its end of the” social contract, the people own the right to revolt and overthrow the (State)” which “makes the contract void”3. The State, is therefore stripped of its right to interfere with the private lives of
