Obscenity, Pornography And Indecency

Obscenity is a term that is usually used in a legal context to describe expressions that offend the prevalent sexual morality of the time. Pornography is the depiction of explicit sexual subject matter for the purpose of sexually exciting the viewer. Indecency is the state or quality of being unseemly or immodest.
From the defination of these three words, pornography is different from the two other words meaning. Pornography is only the desciption of the sexually acting to agitate the audience. It does not include any action in a media based product. Obscenity and Indecency is nearly the same as they include the immorality behaviour. The only different is obscenity is usually used in legal context in words, images, actions whereas indecency is the speech in the state of being crude and offensive, typically in a sexual manner.
