Blog #4 Porn On Airplanes

I do not share the views that this is always appropriate, depending on the context of the sexuality. But to say that seeing sexual activities on an air plane doesn't sit well with me at all. This can do harm to children mentally and emotionally, especially younger children, it is completely ignorant. It can sometimes have similar effects as harassment does on young, malleable minds. I believe that pornography should be restricted on airplanes, especially because not all people share the same views on pornography. Just because you paid for the seat that doesn't mean that you have the right to subject people to illicit content.As for what can be deemed inappropriate...I think airlines would be safe if they stick to the same guidelines that workplaces. I fear that there will be lawsuits to arise if airplanes allow pornography. Parents and concerned citizens may feel that their rights are violated due to this. If airlines are to allow this type of movies, they will need to have signed permission slips from each flyer along with the staff aboard the plane. This would add to the paperwork for the airline, and also decrease the number of people who choose to fly.

  1. I agree that airliners should restrict pornography on airplanes. However, it seems illogical for permission slips to curb pornography viewing. How many permission slips would need to say yes or no to pass? What if the staff aboard says yes and the passengers say no? I believe that the only way you can fix this problem is to just filter out the pornography. Also, why would it decrease the number of people that choose to fly? If anything it would create competition within the airline industry for which some companies would allow pornography as others would not.
