Censorship Should Be Banned Speech

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.

The fear of the consequences that censorship brings individuals make them not want to “over-speak” themselves. People feel the “NEED” to do what they please and say what they feel anywhere they want, exercising their right of “Freedom of Speech/Press” is not wrong by a long-shot but our government expresses “we make exceptions”, especially when it involves criticism towards them. Citizens are promised something that now is becoming a “social epidemic”, it outrages them and could eventually cause mass dissagreements and possibally lead to riots, protests and etc.

In the pursuit of education, students strive to learn and develop their understanding of the world that surrounds them. Accordingly, it is the responsibility of the school administration to provide the means to that end. Yet, there is a polarized divide among schools and their interpretation of freedom of speech. This occurrence is experienced primarily at the university level but can be seen at all levels of education. At the epicenter of this dispute is the notion of censorship, specifically whether or not it is feasible to restrict what can and cannot be said by faculty and students alike. Advocates of freedom of speech assert that censorship violates our First Amendment right, a liberty that is inalienable. Proponents also argue that

Censorship violates the First Amendment. Therefore, to censor, the Internet would take away from one's freedom of expression and in the United States, I have the freedom to say what I want to say without the government interfering. When it comes to protecting children from inappropriate sites then censorship should be applied. No, it's not ethical because again I have the right to search and accessed any site I want in my free time, but at work then I will follow guidelines.

The history of the world has undoubtedly been dominated by an endless struggle for power. However, after a brief glimpse into the pages of history it should not take long to realize that the trick to maintaining power lies in the control of information. Even the most fearsome military generals of the past acknowledge the power of the mind and ideas over lethal force. Former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin once said “… [Ideas] are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, then why should we let them have ideas.” Stalin’s quote personifies the main concept of this literature review which will be discussing the history of government censorship and its effects that are

The First Amendment does not only give the individuals the rights to free speech, but also gives the companies the protection to advertise their products. However, there are regulations in advertisements, such as that the information on the advertisements cannot be misguiding nor false. If companies are restricted on the way they use to advertise, individuals may not be as free as they think because they are regulated on what they want to say. For instance, tobacco companies are highly regulated in advertisements. The government required tobacco companies to inform the consumers that tobacco can cause bad health problems. This can support the argument that we are not as we as we believe we are because we need to follow the directions of the government. The government limited the people that tobacco companies can target. However, tobacco companies are indirectly targeting the youth because the style of their advertisements are most attractive to teenagers. This is an issue that is cause by the First Amendment because sellers have the rights of free speech. They may be limited to the ways they advertise, but they always find ways to sell their products to a wider group.

As our nation explodes in political hypocrisy and human rights are being questioned, "women" are standing-up and fighting for the rights of all "humans". On January 21, 2017, a day after Donald trump's inauguration, women from all over the world and from all backgrounds (doctors, artist and religious leaders) put on a theatrical performance in the form of marches and rallies. “Tamika Mallory, one of the four national co-chairs of the march, stated she was involved in the women march on Washington because sometimes we forget this power, we doubt ourselves, and separate ourselves by race, religion or sexual orientation, we forget about the power of numbers . . .”; She also stated we must stand against men who, “assault us and brag about grabbing it without necessary repercussions

Censorship will always interfere with freedom of speech. In Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury, censorship is one of the main topics depicted. Censorship including the banning of books has been an issue though out history. There has been violence similar to the book burnings by the Firemen in the novel. In Bradbury’s novel, Guy Montag is a Fireman who cannot understand why books have to be burned. He questions what is in the books that can’t be shared with people. Guy questions his boss, Captain Beatty. Beatty explains, “Obviously, The danger is not in the actual act of reading itself, but rather, the possibility that the texts children read will incite questions, introduce novel ideas and provoke critical inquiry” (Karin pg. 132). The fear of knowing too much is really the issue. If people broaden their knowledge then they can think creatively and have their own opinions. Censorship is not about protecting people against bad things or ideas it is about keeping people in the dark so that only a chosen people have the power and the knowledge.

It is clear that the mains point of the picture is that the USA. government is taking away the freedom of speech to the people. The person who is taking it away is the president Donald Trump, he wants to take away freedom of speech because he doesn’t like many people from other countries that means that he is racist. I disagree with what he wants because the president should not take away the freedom of speech. I think even if Trump has the power to take away the freedom of speech he should not take it away because the people have to have the right to opine. The people that want the freedom of speech shouldn’t let Trum to take it away before he does it. It is significant to try to protest agains trump unless you are agree with

Censorship may be protection from inappropriate materials, but it also limits free speech. For the limitation of free speech, it is reasonable why people are emphatically against censorship. It is understood that there is a need to filter some of the materials released in today’s society, but too much is being done by people who have no right meddling with everyone’s rights. Civilization has always been plagued by a never ending battle being fought over what is deemed right and wrong. In today’s culture, censorship oppresses everything in the media. From movies and music to television and even news stories, most of the content viewed today has been filtered one way or another. Restrictions have been in place since early societies have been

I don’t think the library needs censorship in its books. To me if the language is too violent then maybe they shouldn’t choose that book and choose something else instead of making a big deal about it. If they limited the books on censorship, we would have less books and a lot of them are probably good books that people want to read but wont get the chance to. There are many reason why people want to ban or challenge certain books from the school. There examples of racism, sexual content, bullying, swearing and many others. Just because these books have some explisive content doesn’t mean the rest of the book has it, most of these books have a good story to add to it.

I don't think that everything should be censored, but there are some things that should be censored. I think that in order to censor some things, but not everything then we need some guidelines to show what should be censored and what shouldn't be censored. With these guidelines it can help understand better what should be censored, so that people can learn from some of the information, and not be restricted it. Yet there are some things that should be censored because of the content it might contain which can have many effects towards many people. If other people might not agree with the content then it's their decision whether they decide to read, watch, listen, etc. to the

Some people were very upset, they did not hesitate to speak out, they seemed to understand the feeling that women are suffering, the feeling of being disparaging and mental oppression. "The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any" Alice Walker asserts in the video. In her statement contains a message, her message to the viewer as I understand, is that we often do not dare to do what we like, we think is right. Instead of using our "power," we take it away but instead resign. We are afraid of being criticized, fear of being judged by everyone and it made us curbed and our power is "disabled". We should stand up to protect ourselves, for our personal interests and to repel the "notion" that

In modern society, the issue of free speech vs. censorship often comes up. It is a hot topic among those interested in social issues, and represents two well meaning but very different arguments. The argument for freedom of speech says that communication and connectivity promotes progress, while the argument for censorship says that silence and isolation promotes security.

Some women abuse feminism by using it as an excuse to speak their minds, but others use feminism as a tool to open people's eyes to the often ignored problem of inequality. This belief in a tolerant assertiveness, a claim in human participation and human rights is called power feminism (Wolf, 1993). If used ideally, power feminism effectively accomplishes its task of bringing "self worth. . . to every woman's life," states Naomi Wolf. On the other hand, victim feminism makes a woman out to be a defenseless angel who pleads for the mercy of other by acting as a victim. Seeking power through a powerless position of dependence only slows the feminist movement.
