Objectionable Elements

   
Ojectionable : Undesirable, Offensive.
    Objectionable elements in both literature and the media are gradually becoming more commonplace. We'll often hear parents and grandparents reminisce of a time where smut was not so abundant, but what is causing this influx of objectionable material?
    I believe that the degree of objectionable elements in literature directly correlates to both its marketability and public acceptance. We all know that sex and violence sell, and as most people become more numbed to the flow of obscenity surrounding them, they are constantly searching for something new to shock them. If a book like 50 Shades of Grey or Twilight can sell hundreds of millions of copies, something is wrong with the readers of America.

    Objectionable content in literature is largely determined by readers. If a writer adds obscenity to his work, it's because he believes that it will enhance his piece or cause it to become more profitable. Until the public draws a moral line, authors will continue to test the boundaries of literary decency. For some authors, the salability of their book takes precedence over artistic integrity, and public outcry and resistance is the only cure for decreasing moral standards.
