Sex Scandal ISSUES

Once Private Property Becomes Public

I can’t help but get irritated with all these sex scandal issues and the “drama” the ones involved in the scandal creates. I can only think of one thing, its downward pathetic and an act of outright hypocrites.

I remembered what one of our professors said during the launching of the English 71 [Creative and Critical Writing] class. He said, “Once you have placed your thoughts into writings, it will no longer be your property. It will become the property of the public.” Of course he was talking about the outputs of the students placed in a portfolio.

But his thoughts can also be connected towards these sex scandal junks. What do I mean by it? Well, a person who gets involved in sex scandals are people who decided to play a little game of film making while they are indulging in sexual intercourse. These short films they have created,  whether in a mobile phone or a digital camera, will likely be viewed, first by them, then by some friends, and then BOOM its becomes the property of the Public.  Both parties are aware that once they tape something which is supposed to be private, its will create a greater possibility that the tape will be viewed by other individuals because it is already placed in something tangible such as films. Like the person’s thoughts place into writing,  the tape they have created of themselves becomes the property of the public whether they like it or not; with or without their permission.

If the person concern feels like his or her rights were violated by the public because such tape was exposed, then the public cannot answer for those emotions because in the first place the public will have NOTHING to view at all if they hadn’t done the taping of their private moments. Basically, what I’m trying to say is that when something like these comes out against you, blame it all to yourself because it’s no one’s fault but yours. If you hadn’t agreed to be taped/filmed in then no one will ever get the chance to view something which does not exist at all.

The violation in things such as these can only be seriously persecuted if and when one of the couple involved is unaware of the taping done. But if both parties are aware and have whole heartedly agreed to the taping, then I guess they knew better. They knew in the first place that one day they will have to endure the sweet, bitter humiliation once the tapes comes out. Its simply a play of the consequences of one’s actions.
