The ordinances could not be accepted by city officials because of the fact that they seemed absurd and because they contradicted with the freedom of speech protections in the Constitution.
In the case of Linda Boreman, the pornographic actress that claimed to have been obliged to play in the movie Deep Throat, anti-pornography supporters believe that pornography has proved to be harmful. However, it is not pornography that hurt Linda Boreman. The real criminal behind the case is her former husband, Chuck Traynor. Thus, people cannot blame pornography for something that a deranged man did.

Recent proposals to privatize Social Security and cut Medicaid funding would thus exacerbate the equity gaps that already exist." (Center for American Progress, 2004) When a young black man is accepted into a university-based wholly on quota requirements even though he may have had less success in High School compared to a young white man, then we must again redefine our word - inequality.

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY Introduction to Political Philosophy: Reflection EssayPolitical philosophy is important for interpreting how divisions of political power work for the public good, how rights and duties are fulfilled, and how freedom comes in the course of either subjugating or subduing the citizens. The policies formulated following the Constitution are either for the personal interests of those in power or for the public interest, which is still under debate by
Ethical Issues in Pornography Final Project Proposal This paper will be in the form of an ethical analysis of 'pornography'. The key ethical questions taken up will be: Is pornographic matter morally/ethically objectionable? Is it correct for governments to regulate pornography access to consenting individuals aged above 18 years?
