During The Young Turks video clip over this issue, they focused on the bullying. The Turks made Lauren out to be a very strong woman while the haters see her as a young, naive girl. The hosts mention that porn fulfills her and people are just jealous and bitter of that. They seem to really defend her but at the same time they lightly joke about it. People are accusing her of being a whore yet she actually IS the dictionary definition of "whore." It is obvious that everyone has different morals and opinions. Although America's culture is more open about sex and porn, it's still something that people cherish and are somewhat embarrassed to share to the public.

Sex is a huge topic and porn relies on it. A young female by the name of Lauren is a college student at Duke University and she does porn on the side to pay for it. After her story and identity was revealed to the public, people went crazy--either supporting her or attacking her. During a CNN video clip over this issue, they focused on control. Porn is Lauren's home, this is her love, it gives her hope. It is her happy place where she's in control of her sexuality. Later on in the clip, CNN added a guest, clinical psychologist Michelle Golland, to express her opinion of the issue. Michelle called Lauren "bad ass" and says "good for her" for totally owning her sexuality. The fact that Lauren does "own her sexuality" and is in complete control of it tends to make other women and even men uncomfortable.

You did a good job identifying the focuses of each video. When we watched these in class all I kept thinking about was how this was even news worthy enough for CNN to do a story on it, and for her to be interviewed on GMA. But, Duke is a religious college and I think that plays an important role into why she is being targeted and judged so harshly.
