Blog Post 9 - Duke Porn Reports
In the report done by The Young Turks, the focus is the fact that both sides are wrong. The girl defending herself has done wrong and the people attacking her have done wrong. They say Lauren was wrong to tell someone that she was a porn actress and was too young to know better but also say people shouldn't be so vicious. The reporters' attitudes towards sex and pornography are more mature, they believe porn actresses shouldn't be so young and open about what they do.
The focus of the report done by CNN is empowerment. When the expert is brought in to give her opinion on the issue, she says Lauren's actions have empowered her as a woman. Lauren is only shown in a good light, almost no negative things are said about her. The reporter and expert's attitudes towards sex and pornography were extremely positive, they didn't really see much wrong with the situation. Compared to the first report where Lauren and the attackers were both very wrong, this report is a complete opposite.

People shouldn't have been so mean to her even though she really shouldn't have been in those videos. It was still her choice though. So they should let her do what she pleases. She isn't hurting them. I don't think porn was the best option in her case but that is what she feels.
ReplyDeleteI feel like their wasn't really any wrong doing in the situation simply because everyone in the situation is of age and able to make their own decisions. The only wrong doings I see in this scenario was the attacking that took place after the situation became public towards the women and also how the media and school handled the situation itself.
