9. The Sexualization of Mainstream Society -- Is it a problem?

                Sexuality has always been a present asset in historical societies, however the world today has become so incredibly interconnected and over populated that the view of sex can be argued to have changed for the worse. I understand that the incredible popularity of pornography on the internet has changed many individuals’ views of women and sexuality in general, however I believe that this is simply a relative increase associated with an increasing population. Looking back to ancient civilizations, brothels and images of sex have been found in all areas and cultures of the world, yet they are not seen as concerning because civilizations were generally smaller. However our world today is so large that the continued interest in sexuality is seen as over expanded and distasteful. I believe it is simply our human nature that dictates this interest since often times we forget that we ourselves are mammals. With this being said, I do not think this is a problem that directly dangers individuals in today’s society and is thus not a pressing issue.
