]]  CRITICAL ANALYSIS by Tiffany Wan I enjoyed viewing your website as it was informative and user-friendly. An impartial view was taken since both sides of pornography was discussed, both the glamorous and hazardous side. Pornography is described as both "a right and freedom of free will, a business and an entertainment", but also an industry that is "so ugly and vulgar, something that in fact needs to be isolated because of things [pornography websites] display". After reading the essay and watching the videos presented on your website, I gained an understanding of how the pornography industry has spiraled into such a life threatening concern in our current society. You bring up an excellent point in regards to how exceedingly limited laws on adult pornography exist compared to child pornography, while adults are in essence the real victims in this industry. Although there are many groups of people in the society suggesting to “illegalize and ban the production, possession and distribution of pornographic media in all forms, including and not limited to print, video and Internet”, I do not feel such extremes are necessary (Darling, 2006). As you have mentioned in your paper, every choice and every click users make on the Internet is solely a decision based on themselves. Consent regarding age should be strictly implemented, but the option of viewing porn from anyone eighteen years old and up should be of free will. I realize that there are people in the society pressured or forced to participate in the pornography industry, but it is equally important to note that there are many others who choose willingly to enter this industry, whether with or without regrets. What we as individuals can do, is not ban or frown upon pornography, but to create a safer and more respectable environment for porn stars to exist in. The Pink Cross organization you mentioned in your website, may assist in bringing public awareness to the misfortunes of porn stars; however, this is not the solution. In an industry where drugs, sex and violence are deemed as ‘normal’, religion itself is not the answer. Unions brought onto federal and provincial levels should be created. These unions should include professional workers who can help fully explain the content in contracts to prevent fraud and misinterpretations to individuals entering the industry. Since it is unrealistic to eliminate the entire pornography industry, it would be most ideal to simply protect those in this industry.  Darling,Nathan 2006.
