Obscenity, pornography and indecency: What are the differences between these terms?

After reading the definition and the information of these terms, i think i had some thought of the topic.

-Obscenity is more like a body language that express the sexual culture, for an example, a women wearing a sexy-looking outfit. It's considered as a sexual attraction. But, in my opinion, why women always the "victim"? It's already a kind of stereotype, and the status of women can be seen clearly. Though, it will never be the same in future. 

-Pornography is more in graphic, visual form which a picture of women wearing little clothes in which can be seen in many media ways especially on the Internet. Even we could find magazine that shows such pornography, such as Playboy Magazine. Other than that, even the magazine with the content of sport news covered with a pornography. Though with just a picture, it shows the body language of sexiness. How shameful...

-last but not least, indecency involves criminal that contains sexual behaviour in some circumstances. Though, in some circumstances, certain sex theatre shows are not illegal as they are advertised. 

-the society nowadays is getting "polluted" with many "dirty" things. People gets a lot of different information in many ways. In some countries, action is taken on those who involves in those "dirty" information. Media really does play an important role in human's living. It's can be both goods and bads. It brings a lot of impact to the society either in the positive ways or the negative ways.

The first reaction seeing this given topic was... WOW!!! I wondered why lecturer gave us such a topic for the blog assignment? Maybe she might thinks that this will be the issue that need to be concerned. Let's start wikipedia-ing...

Obscenity

-describes expressions (words, images, actions) that offend the prevalent sexual morality of the time.

-many cultures have produced laws to define what is considered to be obscene, and censorship is often used to try to suppress or control materials (pornographic material).

Pornography

-the explicit depiction of sexual subject matter with the sole intention of sexually exciting the viewer.

-Over the past few decades, an immense industry for the production and consumption of pornography has grown, due to emergence of the VCR, the DVD, and the Internet, as well as the emergence of social attitudes more tolerant of sexual portrayals.

-may use any of a variety of media- printed literature, photos, sculpture, drawing, painting,animation,sound recording, film, video or video game.

-In most countries pornography is treated as a separate entity, both culturally and legally, from depictions of naked persons in art or photography.

Indecency

-Indecent conduct could be constituted as being in some circumstances, e.g. indecent exposure, sexual intercourse in public view.

-For example, certain sex theatre shows are not illegal as they are advertised as such and should therefore not be offensive to the public if in enclosed viewing. So long as the public as aware of the content of the show, it would not be regarded as public indecency.
