Abstract
The word pornography originates from the Greek word porné (harlot, prostitute, or female captive) and graphos (writing about or description of). Thus, pornography means the writing or the description of female sexual activities with a commercial motive. However, recently pornography has become a political issue as a result of different interpretations of pornography has come into existence. The ?Nationwide Festival of Light' claims that pornography is a representation which isolates one's physical activity ? sex or violence ? from the social context, which would justify it as an activity or portray its consequences. The argument is that pornography ?stimulates the kind of behaviour of the audiences that may lead to violence'.
