A quick definition of pornography:

Definition: Pornography, also known as "porn" or "porno," is media that shows naked people or sexual acts to make people feel sexually excited. This can be in the form of pictures, videos, writing, or even cartoons. However, just because something has nudity or sex in it doesn't mean it's pornographic if that's not the main reason for it. In some countries, it's legal to buy or look at porn, but it's against the law to show it to kids or to have porn that shows children having sex. It's also illegal to share sexual pictures or videos of someone without their permission.

A more thorough explanation:

Pornography, also known as "porn" or "porno," refers to material that depicts nudity or sexual acts with the intention of sexually arousing the viewer or reader. However, the mere presence of nudity or sexual content in a piece of media does not necessarily make it pornographic if the purpose of that media is not sexual stimulation.

Pornography can take various forms, including photographs, videos, written material, audio recordings, or animation. For instance, a sexually explicit video that is intended to arouse the viewer is considered pornography, while a medical textbook that includes images of the human reproductive system is not.

The legality of pornography varies from country to country. In the United States, it is generally legal for adults to purchase or access pornographic materials. However, it is illegal to distribute pornography to minors, and it is also illegal to produce, distribute, receive, or possess pornography that depicts minors engaged in sexual acts. Revenge porn, which involves the non-consensual distribution of sexual media, is also illegal in most states.

  • A sexually explicit video that is intended to arouse the viewer
  • A magazine that features photographs of nude models in sexually suggestive poses
  • An erotic novel that describes sexual acts in graphic detail
  • An audio recording of people engaging in sexual activity
  • An animated video that depicts sexual acts

These examples illustrate how pornography is intended to sexually arouse the viewer or reader. They also demonstrate that pornography can take various forms, including visual, written, and audio media.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

17:06
I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
