Curiosity kills
the cat: a proverb used to warn of the dangers of unnecessary investigation
or experimentation. A less frequently-seen rejoinder to "curiosity killed
the cat" is "but, satisfaction brought it back".
The
original form of the proverb, now little used, was "Care killed the
cat". In this instance, "care" was defined as "worry"
or "sorrow."
Pandora: According to the
Hesiodic myth, however, instead of giving bountiful gifts, Pandora opened a jar
(pithos), in modern accounts sometimes mistranslated as "Pandora's box",
releasing all the evils of humanity—although the particular evils, aside from
plagues and diseases, are not specified in detail by Hesiod—leaving only Hope inside once
she had closed it again. She opened the jar out of simple curiosity and not as
a malicious act.

Pornography: (often
abbreviated as "porn" or "porno" in informal usage) (Greek:
πορνεία, porneia, fornication) is the explicit portrayal of sexual subject
matter for the purpose of sexual arousal. Pornography may use a variety of
media, including books, magazines, postcards, photos, sculpture, drawing,
painting, animation, sound recording, film, video, and video games. The term
applies to the depiction of the act rather than the act itself, and so does not
include live exhibitions like sex shows and striptease. A pornographic model
poses for still photographs. A pornographic actor or porn star performs in
pornographic films. If dramatic skills are not involved, a performer in porn
films may be also be called a model.
Homework:
write down the reflection/ feedback as an essay in 100-150 words for the movie “Bee
Season”, due next week.
