voyeurism

Voyeurism- Well today in class we talked about Voyeurism which is the interest or practice on spying or looking at someone. Voyeurism can be watching someone or being the person that watched. To me versions of voyeurism today are all over the television. Reality shows today portray what goes on in peoples life, "non-scripted", raw-cut film. Audiences are fascinated with the idea of watching and observing others lives and what people do. So though people often say it is weird , really its not it is actually something that is becoming mainstream. Also, many people associate voyeurism with sexual encounters and that is not always the case. Voyeurism does not necessarily have to deal with the idea of watching someone for sexual pleasure but the idea of exposing yourself could help to create a new platform for people to understand others. I think voyeurism ( if accepted by the person that is watching) could be seen as a good thing. A way to freely express oneself and not have to explain who one is because people are watching. It is like the ultimate display of your character and who you are as a person.
