Censorship Of Children And The Art Industry

I believe censorship is permissible in certain circumstances. I find it necessary to censor violent and sexual movies for young children. Im one for scary movie and action & adventure, theyre fun to wacth, its excting. But theyre has to be an age restriction on some of these movies espicially now a days where we need more violence and fighting to find somehting exciting and fun. We have become totally immune to all the violence ont elevision. Children however need to be cesnured frmrom thi immunity. Not only will it be more likely for them to have violent tendencies, i find it inhuman for us to put a child through a scne where someone is getting sawed in half. Thta to me is a form of child abuse and torture. Putting your 2 year old child in front of a saw movie is outright torture, children are delicate beings they can face trauma this way. Everythign we see on the media effect our lives in one way or anpther this efdeec is even greatr when started at a young age.

Art has been around since the beginning of humankind and it has been and will always be a visual form of human expression, ideas, and morals. Art is subjective and everyone will feel differently towards one specific artwork. But disliking an artwork because it offends you does not mean that you must destroy it. Recently, a white artist, Dana Schutz created an abstract painting of Emmett Till, a 14 year old African American that was killed by a couple of white men because he supposedly whistled at a white lady. Many people have deemed this artwork as a form of cultural appropriation and have demanded the artist to take it down. Despite the controversies of this artwork, art should never ever be censored because it violates the artist’s freedom

Children are also drawn to more mature programs in order to make them feel older and more mature by watching them, which is why the swearing and nudity need to be cut out. I support this view mainly because of an experience I had when I was about five years old. I snuck into the TV room without my parents knowing, and when I was flipping through the channels, I stopped on a channel that was showing the movie Die Hard. Just from watching a short segment of that movie, I quickly learned the “f” word and said it in class the next day. This initial view on censorship is significant because it can prevent children, who are the most influenced by TV, from practicing what they see. They will not learn these words or actions at an early age, like I did, and therefore will not get into trouble in school or teach them to other children. The downside to this stance is that it violates the right of freedom of speech.

Censorship in U.S. law occurs if the media displays excessive or graphic violence, has mature content that is not appropriate for young audiences or contains matters that are kept secret for national security or public safety. How ever censorship in American communities is driven by the belief of the community. It is best seen in American schools like the banning of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The book was first banned in Concord, MA in 1885, people in this community banned the book because they believed that the book was racist for its use of the N word. Other communities like in Kansas banned the teaching of evolution in public schools. Censorship could have a negative effect in

The censorship of art is controversial because art comes in all forms and is recognized internationally. As you know, people have a variety of opinions and tend to disagree with each other, hence making the identification of something as “art” a vague statement. So what is the true definition of art? Art is the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form, to produce works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. Many artists have been charged or even arrested for their art work. The government and big companies, such as Facebook and the F.C.C., control whether an art piece should be censored or not. However, if controversial artwork offers a warning prior to its unveiling, it should cease to be censored. Many people consider art a freedom of expression and would argue that the censorship of art is a violation of humans rights.

“It is not only the poets therefore that we must issue orders requiring them to represent good character in theri poems or write at all; we muse issue similar orders to all artists and prevent them from portraying bad character, ill discipline, meanness or ugliness in painting, sculpture, architecture, or any work of art, and if they are unable to comply they must be forbidden to practice art” to respond to that Ron Swanson would say “Why the government [should be] involved in an art show is beyond me.” Let's start with why censorship is evil and wrong, and something trump would do. Censoring art because it makes you uncomfortable is the 8th cardinal sin. To create is to be human to deny the expression of a world as seen through an artist

Monkey see, monkey do, a simple phrase relevant to today’s society. Those in society that simply do not know any better, such as children, are inclined to imitate what they see being done. Without censorship daily television shows are increasingly exhibiting more violence, foul language and sexuality to susceptible youth. Due to lack of censorship, explicit music lyrics and inappropriate images on music videos are being introduced to impressionable children. There is a lack of control on the internet leading to internet addiction and forces vulnerable adolescents to face cyber bullying. In a variety of mediums not enough censorship is used, which influences impressionable youth to think and behave negatively.

Censoring art is taking away the freedom of the people to view what they have the rights to view. There is nudity and sex scenes

Tom Smothers stated, “The only valid censorship of ideas is the right of people not to listen”. A violation of people's freedom of speech is an important issue that walks hand-in-hand with censorship. Individuality is threatened by limiting room for people to expand their thoughts and knowledge from what was predesigned for them. It prohibits the challenge to be a responsible reader and going through books and issues in context. Censorship is unconstitutional, limits both the individuality and the beneficial learning experience for

During the late 20th century early 21st century. A movement spun up of people who rejected the condition of athletics and preferred to work with shocking Subject matter otherwise known as the abject. “Abject art is used to describe artworks which explore themes that transgress and threaten our sense of cleanliness and propriety particularly referencing the body and bodily functions. The term abjection literally means ‘the state of being cast off.”(TATE, n.d.) . Some of these artists include Cindy Sherman, Tracy Emin and the David Lynch.

Censorship is a great idea, but a horrible way to effect entertainment. In my own mind censorship is rarely good idea, because it can be overused and not give an accurate picture of an event or show, but if not used enough, too many are exposed to violence, profanity and sexual content before they should. Television and radio are the most censored forms of entertainment available with the internet and video games following respectively. But, sometimes censorship is better than the alternative: like in movies that could be seen by large amounts of children, and sometimes in the news. Censorship should only be used to tone events, phrases and ideas down in the media not to remove those ideas from the media.

Many students, parents and teachers may think this is a bad thing but they don’t understand that censoring some things may have some benefits rather than being all bad.

Censorship of art occurs when a work is attacked or suppressed because of its controversial message, independently of its artistic merits. Also, moral, military, political, and religious are four major types of censorship. The most popular one is moral censorship which restricts obscene material which the narrowing definition of obscenity. Moral censorship is to protect children from corruption. Military censorship occurs mainly in wartime, and is used to protect national security as the Uncle Sam sign on WW2. Religious censorship happens in countries where the government is close to a religion or where religious feeling run high. Political censorship is used by governments that do not accept opposing ideas. Individual rights are written in the Bill of Rights section of the Constitution. The first amendment grants the freedom of the press, speech, and religion. Also, it grants that the media is immune from government control or censorship. A way to preserve individual rights is for government agencies to have little or no interaction with individual persons. On this research paper, I will express why a government, and a religious group, or a board of directors should not have the right to eliminate the censorship.

The parameters of the term censorship have been changed and manipulated very much over the years. Television and movie ratings have become more lenient against violence and indiscretion because these things are now seen as entertainment. Is this appropriate for our youth? Should children be exposed to these images so early on? How does censorship in the media affect adolescents? Children are the future of our society and need to have some understanding of real world occurrences. Ultimately, censorship can only be determined by the parents. The media cannot filter every bit of controversial images. What rights does the media have in this situation? How are their First Amendment rights applied here? As an aspiring political science

Since the beginning of time art has been an important aspect to our lives. We learn from it, admire it, and some even relate to it in different ways. Art comes in many different forms it could be sculptures, photography, paintings or music. Some forms of art could be inappropriate and offensive to some people. Should all art be censored? A great deal of controversy has been provoked by this.
