infidelity



Infidelity and particularly when it means cheating on someone, obviously isn’t a nice thing to do but it is still common for people to do while in a relationship and this must be because it is an exciting thing to do so makes your life seem more lively, you have the sneaking about part and making sure you cover everything so your boyfriend/ girlfriend don’t find out and for course you get to have more sex with a different person.

masturbation



Defiantly one of the funniest lectures. It did also raise some interesting points as to why masturbation is hardly ever shown in films and on TV. The main reason is that masturbation is a bit more embarrassing than sex and it is also a very private thing so doesn’t show well on films.

Another point was, why do some religions try and ban people from masturbating, I will never understand why it is considered bad to do as it is just and natural thing and is quite fun really.

bad behaviour/ anti-social behaviour



Bad behaviour and particularly anti-social behaviour are constantly talked in the media and how to stop it from happening. What I find particularly annoying with the constant reporting of anti-social behaviour, is how the offenders are always stereotyped as wearing hoodies and just standing around on the street corner looking for trouble. It is always made to seem as if that’s the only reason they are out but most of the time the only reason teenagers are hanging around on the streets is because there is nothing else for them to do so instead of just complaining about the young people out on the streets, more should be done to give them somewhere else to go and something that is easily afford able.

People will always lie and small white lies are fine to do especially when it’s just to save someone’s feeling, like if you lie to a friend when you just really can’t be asked to meet up with them at the moment. The problem with lies comes when they are bigger and can cause harm to people or you lying to someone for the purpose of just causing them to feel bad about themselves.

bad comedians



Bad comedy or bad jokes which give a negative stereotype to people, have always caused controversy but comedians shouldn’t be banned from telling jokes like that because it goes against free speech and most of the jokes people don’t take seriously. For example, jokes about blondes being a bit stupid can be funny but everyone knows that just because someone is blonde doesn’t really mean they are stupid.

bad cinema



It seems strange that people complained so much about the film ‘kids’ because it showed young people having under age sex, taking drugs and behaving violently. The film does have some horrible and shocking scenes but how can people want the film and other films like ‘kids’ banned just for that. Films like this wouldn’t make young people go out and start taking drugs or behaving violently because the film acts more as warning against these things, as it shows just how bad things can happen from taking to much drugs.

Films like this aren’t to disturbing for young people to watch, it is good for young people to see as it shows what not to do. (And it’s also a very good film). There is nothing wrong with showing how this could be real life setting and young people can easily handle seeing films like ‘kids’. These types of films should never be banned because people, who are just far too overprotective of their children, complain about what it shows.

From the lecture, the main problem I can see with body modification is if it is done without peoples consent so when it is done to young children who are too young to have a say in the matter or when it is done as punishment.

For me, the worst example of body modification was how the Chinese sometimes brake young female babies feet to make them smell, this is not only an horrible act to do to someone but it was done when the child was so young that they didn’t really understand what was being done to them so couldn’t decided for themselves if they wanted it to happen.

There isn’t anything wrong with people who want to modify their own bodies if that is what they decided to do (though the catman in the picture above has taken that to the extreme) body modification should always be about a person choice so if they are happy to do it to themselves then society shouldn’t have a problem with it.
