Week 8 BOC: Nudes


I will never understand why nudity is such a taboo in this country. We are supposed to be this superpower, most civilized, technically advanced country in the world, but yet nudity, homosexuality, pornography, gender reassignment, etc. is such a sensitive subject for so many Americans. Equally frustrating is the fact that violence is so accepted. Children can see death in the news and in video games, but the natural human body is seen as vulgar.

However, we all know that sex sells. It seems to me that making it so off-limits just creates more demand for it. If I have children, I will make sure they know what the human body is supposed to look like, not the distorted version that mainstream media has tried to make us think it is.
