"First Monday in October"

The movie “First Monday in October” brings up a few interesting topics like should pornography be censored? Are there any issues with pornography and the internet? And is there an issue with appointing a female justice?
Pornography is just as controversial as murder and terrorism, but people’s tolerance may have shifted since the 70’s. People’s opinions on things are way different than ever before. In the past many people believed pornography was something horrendous but now majority of the people would say that it is art or freedom of speech. This may be because the younger generations are more liberal than the older generation. You can see this in the movies, music, t.v. shows, and the way teens talk nowadays. My opinion is like the majority, porn is porn and you don’t have to watch it if you don’t want to. It also is freedom of speech because there is really nothing obscene in my opinion just two people doing what they’re being paid for.
The internet has been more controversial now more than ever, and it isn’t a surprise that pornography is one of the causes. On the internet there isn’t much protection from anything except for common sense and parental controls. But parental controls aren’t very useful against kids who know how to work the computer better than their parents so this makes it easy for any kid to access porn sites or just about any other site for that matter.
As far as a female Justice, I don’t really care what gender they are. Sure it might affect their opinion on things, but then again a male Justice would be biased too on some issues despite what the evidence says.
