    A screenshot of a college offering course on Pornography goes viral on social media

    One of Westminster College's most recent courses is on Pornography.


    Digital Desk: After one of its courses went viral on social media, Westminster College grabbed headlines. From May 9 to June 4, the course Film 3000: Porn will be available.


    Check out! The approach of Westminster College regarding the course:


    The course was described as "hardcore pornography," which is "as American as apple pie and more popular than Sunday night football" in the school's catalog.


    As per the statement, the next step reads, "Our approach to this billion-dollar industry is a cultural phenomenon that reflects and reinforces sexual inequalities (but holds the potential to challenge sexual and gender norms) and as an art form that requires serious contemplation." 


    adding to the statement, students in class "will watch pornographic films together and discuss the sexualization of race, class, and gender and as an experimental, radical art form."

    Impact of Pornography according to Westminster College:


    A representative for the private liberal arts college told Fox 13 News that while the course may appear problematic to some, students will learn about the impact of Pornography.


    According to Fox 13, "Westminster College periodically provides elective classes like this as an opportunity to explore social concerns."


    Students at Westminster College in Oxford will be taught how to evaluate digital media culture's impact critically. The descriptions of these courses may be disturbing to some readers, but they aid students in deciding whether or not to pursue serious research into contentious topics such as Pornography.


    The college stated that the class has approximately 20 people throughout most scenarios. The college has previously provided the course. However, it has been canceled for the most recent group of students due to the pandemic.
