Arguments Against Censorship In The Workplace

In our digital age, people are increasingly using social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace to share personal experiences, relati onships, opinions, and accomplishments with family and "friends." They view their Web sites as private and their right to voice their opinions or post pictures of themselves as protected free speech. Should

Censorship is the act of filtering what an audience of something hears and sees. This is an effective method for mothers to protect their children from being exposed to things they do not fully understand, however it can be harmful once it is put into the hands of the government, because it crosses some moral and ethical lines. It violates the people’s right to freedom of expression. It would also make it much simpler to hide information from the people or to give them false information in the form of propaganda. Therefore, censorship is both positive and negative and its power should be left in the hands of parents rather than the government.

Censorship is a tool used by the predominant power to maintain status-quo and stifle those who would challenge their assumptions by written word or speech. Freedom of speech is designed to allow voices, no matter how objectionable they are to the majority, the ability to express themselves without fear of reprisal. the only defense the people have against a tyrannical government is a well informed electorate; and the only way to insure a well informed electorate is with a free and open press.

Imagine a scenario where Kanye West is in his Los Angeles home with his wife and daughter and the police knock on his door. They arrest him based on exposing the American population to vulgarity, indecency, racist and sexist comments that offend many people. The government does not want America to be subjected to this type of music and turn the American culture into something more bigoted than it already is. However, a situation like this would never occur in the present day American society. That does not mean it could not happen in the future. Many American citizens are promoting censorship to an extreme that it could possibly become a reality. The American citizens claim that censorship is needed to shelter America’s citizens, but

Written communication involves expressing yourself clearly and effectively. The Recruitment and Employment Commission says that more than half of all resumes of seekers between the age of 21 and 25 contain grammatical errors. With today’s

Imagine a coworker posting a threatening statement towards the place they work. Even if they are exaggerating or joking, it’s unprofessional and would still be concerning for many employees. What you say or post online should be grounds on getting fired because of the first amendment rights and safety, loyalty towards the company, and how they represent the company.

It is shown where Haussamen states “The most important job-related ability that an employer can assume when looking at a well-written cover letter is that the applicant can read well. A good writer is always a good reader. This is important, for even in jobs that don’t require any writing, reading — of forms and instructions at least — is usually essential. ” proving his beliefs that everyone should be able to read and write to an extent. As for Weins states “Good grammar makes good business sense — and not just when it comes to hiring writers. Writing isn’t in the official job description of most people in our office. Still, we give our grammar test to everybody, including our salespeople, our operations staff, and our programmers. ” which partially proves his own point at the matter that grammar is essential to being organized and maintaining stability. Though there are only two, these are the reason that I can not refute the fact that we do need to have a well set up, fair and reasonable standard for

Lastly, most schools start training students how to use computers and Ipads as early as the third grade! We are being molded to be the generation of technology without being given a choice. If we don't succumb to the ways of today, we're not looking at a very good career as an adult. If you want any type of career that isn't manual labor, chances are you'll have to be tech savvy. Not to mention a very good typer. Those are just the facts we are faced with in the business world today. With all this new technology, we have to let cursive go.

Should the way people write affect their chances of employment? The first thing employers look for is either excellent or poor grammar. If the applicant has poor grammar, then the majority of employers would assume that the applicant is lazy. If the applicant’s grammar skills are good, then the employer will assume that the applicant will be an excellent employee. So, no standard English skills should not determine whether a person should be employed because certain jobs does not require good grammar, people sometimes have strengths in other areas, and the way people talk should not determine their work ethic.

Censorship has became a controversial topic during recent years due to people's perception of concepts such as sex, violence, and hate speech. Many people and governments want things such as those to be erased from media and art to prevent them within our society. Others however, feel that children and others should be exposed to aspects such as these and that restricting the use of them in the arts would be a violation of their 1st amendment. Both sides have strong, deeply rooted views based in law, morals, or religious belief. Both sides also, however, have points that seem slightly extreme. For years the government and people of the United States and many other countries have worked to “shield” our population from violence, sexuality, and

Grammar is a very important skill to master in life. It is a skill that will be judged to get a person a job. Grammar is important in every job, even if it it’s not in the job description. Employers will think twice about hiring an employee that can’t use correct grammar. They will judge a person’s knowledge through someone’s grammar. If a person uses poor grammar, use slang words, and use acronyms, such as “lol” or “yolo”, in a résumé or a job interview, then employers will think that person is not fit for the job because they assume that person has a low IQ or no education. Kyle Weins, the CEO of iFixit has said in an article that he won’t hire anyone with poor grammar, saying he “will pass up a great programmer who can’t write” (Weins 2). He also said that even if grammar isn’t

For many, the beginning of censorship is what helped shape the mind of difference. The world has changed since the early years of conservative vision (Schirtzinger, pg 4). “Originally, for one to censor it meant to assess, to value, it is a form of a much touted but rarely practiced “critical thinking” which was then called “judgement”. Later, to censor began to be associated with a purely negative connotation (Mattix, pg. 2)”. In other words censorship is the suppression of words, images or ideas that are “offensive” ( Schirtzinger, pg. 5). Censorship usually happens whenever someone succeeds in imposing their political or moral values on others. So, the question is “who gets to decide what’s offensive? (Schirtzinger, pg. 3)”

What does it actually mean for a particular item, expression, or image within society to be censored? Ultimately, censorship involves the suppression of anything deemed objectionable by the government, society, or really any influential organization or group. With this explanation in mind, I confidently stand in opposition to the notion of censorship because I believe that such a manipulative concept and action utterly contradicts the rights clearly given to citizens in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution, and therefore, censorship has no role in a truly democratic civilization like our own.

Of course, good grammer can take you further, but holding poor grammer against someone is not right. Jobs are held to high standards, so its a individual self to have good grammer. I go against, on how you suppose to have good grammer, just to qualify for a certain. According, to Lynne Truss she states that, “ she have zero-tolerance.” If you qualify for the job, you should be able to have a oppurtuntiy, and not be dictated by a test. I agree that grammar is critical in everyday life, but some people throughout life didnt recieve the same education. Everyone makes mistakes, its bound to happen in the job market. My thoughts are that, if you met the criteria, you should be able to get the job. They say good grammar, makes good business sense,
