I will pay for the following article Explicit Media Content and Behavior. The work is to be 5 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page. Advance in information technology has further enhanced ways of distributing the content, even to the young children in spite of government enforcement of strict measures to restrict accessibility.

Objectionable and explicit media content is in different forms, including video games, music, television programs, and pornographic videos. These programs show objectionable and socially offending content including promiscuity, violence, drug abuse, and occultism among others. This paper examines the complaints that objectionable media content has generated, emphasizing on critical analysis of the linkage between the contents and the objections raised by the society.

Complaints to objectionable content

Various media contents have generated negative criticism from society. Some of the complaints originate from particular segments of the society while others elicit widespread criticism. In a research study investigating the reactions of the society to objectionable media content, Stephenson (2007) identified religion, race, and culture in addition to sexual orientation as the major factors determining how particular media content is received in the society. In American society, minority groups have been raising concerns about how their image is portrayed in the media. In the movie industry for instance Adler, et al(2007) noted that most African American males play violent and vulgar roles that portray them as hardcore criminals with an inclination to abusing hard drugs. In addition, many television programs focusing on black people portray the negative side such as poverty, crime, and chronic disease infection in addition to broken and unhappy families.

These programs have recently fallen under heavy criticism because they hardly show achievements or the positive side of the black people in the community. The negative media publicity of the minorities, especially in developed countries has been attributed by Bushman and Cantor (2003) as the leading cause of reinforcing crime, drug abuse, and other social problems, among the minority groups. In addition, they promote racial prejudice, where a particular race is regarded with scorn, suspicion, and mistrust. Besides the negative depiction of African Americans, the portrayal of people from East Asian countries such as Japan and China in the media is equally biased compared to white actors.
