I chosen the issue of  pornography because it is an issue that is considered taboo, yet a majority of people in the United States are exposed to it on a number of cases.  I have interviewed four people, two males and two females, in order to see if the issue of pornography from their perspective varies or is uniform based on their gender. I presented each participant with a series of controlled questions, enabling them to answer unbiased.   Based on the interviews, the results varied from interviewee to interviewee.
