Youth and pornography in Ghana: An ethical perspective

Abstract

Technology has caused more harm than good in Ghana to some extent. This is in view of the falling standards in moral foundations of children and youth in Ghana. In the recent years, youngsters are exposed to pornographic materials easily since internet and online materials are freely available in the name of freedom of speech. Pornography remains a socio-ethical topic not only in Ghana but also in many countries. This paper joins the discourse to examine the impact of pornographic consumption in Ghana from the ethical perspectives of Christianity. The findings revealed that the consumption of pornographic materials by the youth in Ghana has negative impact on their attitude, behavior and moral foundation
