Complete 6 pages APA formatted article: Movies and Internet Material That Is Sexually Explicit.

The definitions of pornography, obscenity, and erotica will vary, depending on the nature of a group and moral inclinations of an individual, as culture plays an important role in defining what is decent, moral, and acceptable (146). Nonetheless, this essay bases on different perspectives to address the elements of pornography, erotica, and obscenity, with reference to the 1957 Supreme Court decision on obscenity.Lauer and Lauer note that “One person’s pornography is another person’s literature” (147).

Therefore, this is one of the main reasons, why the elements of pornography, erotica, and obscenity continue to evoke heated debate and disagreements. Like most social scientists, Lauer and Lauer define pornography as “literature, art, or films that are sexually arousing” (147). They also describe erotica as materials that arouse sexual feelings but are not demeaning in nature, as opposed to pornography, which entails violent acts, including rape (Lauer and Lauer 147). On the other hand, Lauer and Lauer (148) consider obscenity to be a legal term, which is used to define pornography.

They define this as “those materials that are offensive by generally accepted standards of decency” (148). The Supreme Court in 1957 made an important decision, which could act as a guideline in determining obscene material. However, Lauer and Lauer argue that this court ruling does not offer a perfect solution to the issue, as it raises more questions. Nonetheless, despite this law on obscenity, erotica, pornography, and obscenity remain prevalent today and appear in different media, including magazines, the internet, books, and videos, among others.

Different evidence points to the fact that due to the easy accessibility of pornographic material, a large percentage of Americans are consumers of pornography, with the percentage of males being the highest (Lauer and Lauer 148).As seen, it is quite challenging to&nbsp.define and differentiate between erotica, obscenity, and pornography. However, the Supreme Court ruling of 1957 offers considerable insight on these (Hall 269).

Overview

In preparation for your report in Project Two, you will need to  calculate the financial ratios needed to determine your chosen  business’s current financial health. Once you’ve calculated these  ratios, the results will be used to analyze the business’s current  financial position and help them make decisions about how to improve or  maintain their financial health. Pay particular attention to working  capital management. If liquidity is an issue, consider how the company  will meet its short-term obligations.

Prompt

Using the Project Two Financial Formulas spreadsheet and the balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement from Mergent Online for your chosen company, calculate the financial ratios for the most recent fiscal quarter. Then,  compare those ratios with the same ratios for the same fiscal quarter  from one year prior in Mergent Online, and analyze your results.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

  • Financial Calculations: Calculate accurate  financial ratios to assess the business’s current financial health.  Specifically, calculate the following ratios:
    • Working capital
    • Current ratio
    • Debt ratio
    • Earnings per share
    • Price/earnings ratio
    • Total asset turnover ratio
    • Financial leverage
    • Net profit margin
    • Return on assets
    • Return on equity
  • Fiscal Quarter Comparison: Using Mergent Online, summarize the differences between the results from your financial calculations of the most recent fiscal quarter and the results of the same financial calculations of the same fiscal quarter from a year before for your chosen business.
    • For example, if the most recent fiscal quarter available is the 3rd  quarter in 2020, then you will compare those results to the same  financial calculations from the 3rd quarter in 2019.
  • Comparison Analysis: Explain what the results of  your calculations and your comparison indicate about the business’s  current financial health, providing examples to support your  explanation. You might consider the following questions:
    • Do the results indicate the business is financially healthy or financially unhealthy? Which results indicate this?
    • What might be the cause(s) of the business’s financial success or failure?
    • Is more information needed to determine the business’s financial  health? If so, which pieces of information might still be needed?
  • Short-Term Financing: Explain how potential  short-term financing sources could help the business raise needed funds  to improve its financial health. Base your response on the business’s  current financial information.

anti-Semitism, Islamist, Islamophobia, ultra-nationalists, and White power ideologies have been widely spread over the Internet (Glaser and Green 180). This implies that racist organizations, as well as other antisocial organizations, exploit the Internet to achieve their objectives. Social media networks are widely being used to propagate vilification and hostility against other groups. In most cases, cyber-racism and hate speech in social media networks are characterized by cultural and ethnic divides. Although the Internet has revolutionized many areas of human society, it also has far-reaching negative consequences when abused, misused, or used without proper guidance.

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. Dixit and Green (188) assert that the Internet is one of the platforms through which people propagate racial violence. It is observable that people can freely interact and express their views on the Internet without jurisdiction or geographical restriction. However, this freedom has not been accompanied by the responsibilities that it deserves. For this reason, cyber racists have seriously abused that freedom. Such groups often use the Internet as the avenue in which to unleash hostile sentiments against whom they consider detestable or unwelcome. In many cases, the groups or individuals that have been attacked do not take such prejudice kindly. They are likely to respond to such negativity in a similar negative manner or with a higher degree of counter-retaliatory abuse. Ultimately, it is easy to observe that the Internet is a potential battlefield for racist groups. It is also an avenue for extending extreme ideologies that result in a social divide.

&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp.&nbsp. Sexism is another largely contested consequence of Internet usage. Sexism refers to the discrimination against women. It could be true that men and women have equal access to the Internet globally (Szoka and Marcus 69). However, the same cannot be said about online experiences of both sexes.&nbsp.
