As much as we like to think that we are immune to influences of the outside world and our environment, we are all affected by information and sensory impressions that the world provides us with. Our eyes probably have the quickest and most powerful impact on our views and feelings. Young people who have not fully mastered their impulses are especially vulnerable. The Internet can introduce us to sights and images that we would not normally see that can be very appealing and damaging. They can stoke urges and desires for inappropriate things beyond some people’s control.

The Internet also introduces us to people of all sorts. These people can entice the innocent among us to do things or form relationships that are very damaging to them.

There are also things that all of us don’t wish to see or be burdened with.
