Secondary 4 | Making Choices | Respectful Relationships and Safety (Lesson 4)

# data[].attributes.body
In this lesson, students will revisit the impact of pornography, which they have gone through in the Secondary 1 ‘More Than Meets the Eye’ lesson, and deepen their understanding on its impact on relationships. The lesson activities provide opportunities for students to weigh their own values and principles against the various perspectives on the issues of pornography and revenge pornography. Through a finger poll activity, students will have the opportunity to discuss the realism of pornography, as well as consider the impact of pornography exposure. Students will also learn about revenge pornography, including its definition and legal provisions.

Pornography: Recall its definition

•Students would have learnt the definition of pornography in the Secondary 1 ‘More Than Meets the Eye?’ lesson.

•Pornography is defined as any printed or visual material (e.g. magazine, book, website, video, movie) that contains the explicit description or display of sexual organs and/or activity, intended to stimulate sexual excitement.

•The rationale of writing the word on the board is to link to the earlier lesson students have learnt in Sec 1 and help them make links to Revenge Pornography in the later part of the lesson.

Conclusion:

•Revenge pornography can have very lasting negative impact on the victims as the materials can be spread through various platforms within a short period of time, and it is almost impossible to remove everything completely.

•Prevention is better than cure; sharing information online always carries a risk and one should always limit the kind of information shared online, regardless of how close the other party is.

•It is also important to turn to trusted adults (I Have) who can set boundaries for us and prevent us from encountering danger.

•Victims of revenge pornography should seek help by speaking to a trusted adult and reporting it to the police.

•Recipients of revenge pornography can intervene and help the victim by stopping the spread of the materials and reporting it to the authorities.
