Is Censorship Good Or Bad

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.

Censorship, a constantly talked about debate that justifies itself positively and negatively. It is all depended upon perception and your moral intent of what is displayed. Society contradicts itself frequently, the want to be unique and different feels extremely self-fulfilling but can sometimes be offensive to certain individuals due to Religion, Tradition, Opinions etc. We often choose not to offend people in order to alleviate problems and disagreements. Censorship also mutes our words, usually we can’t express ourselves truthfully in a social manner due to the broad expansion of social media today. The FCC (Federal Communications Commission) agency is an organization that monitors and regulates the content that individuals put up on social media such as television, radio, internet, books etc. This is a positive outcome of Censorship due to the fact that it protects individuals from being bullied and mistreated on

My standpoint is we should be able to view the censorship of the material at our own discretion and ethical standards. An example in today’s history would be “Hulk Hogan’s sex tape… leaked to the internet”(TMZ). This event took place online meaning that it was uncensored and accessible to the entire public eye. People argued whether or not it should be removed or censored, however, it remained uncensored. In this scenario keeping the video uncensored is within the limitations of censorship because the people had the option to view the video or not. However, this might be hurting someone’s personal privacy but since the tape was leaked we the people should have better morals to decide to whether or not we can view the video or not. So, censorship is in the hands of the beholder and the beholder's mentality of ethics whether or not to view the material that is showcased in mass media. “Hulk Hogan's sex tape was just leaked to the internet and it's

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: Is It Necessary? A persuasive essay written by Mark Pierce Censorship is often used by governments to hide certain things from the public; things that are offensive. These can include (but are not limited to) being insulting to religion, being racist, or being too violent. Despite these reasons, however, censorship doesn’t need to be mandatory to protect the people.

Censorship on the news for example if someone was shot and the victim's face was blacked out and his voice was hanged so we could not recognize him that’s censorship.’’Anti groups have been getting books banned by governments because parents don’t like the violence and it talking about history because they want to hide the from their children and not only their children the whole school too’’.The School of Mississippi got the book to kill a mockingbird banned.’’Parents made that happen by complaining about the book and how they did not want any child to read the book kill a mockingbird’’. Censorship is unnecessary because hides the truth in what really happened in the actual events and how we can learn

There are various reasons as to why censorship is used. They include: security purposes, prevent hate speech, to protect vulnerable communities and also to counter unethical religious and political views. Censorship is currently being used for both political and social purposes. Most of these reasons for censorship are not absolute because they hinder people’s freedom of expression and speech. This confirms my argument that censorship is bad in the modern world. Despite some aspects considering censorship to be good, there are several aspects that promote my argument that censorship is bad thus its advantageous nature.

If it is uncomfortable to read and discuss, so be it. Most things that matter deeply are.” -USA Today. Today Censorship also affects more than the children though. It really affects everyone equally. It allows the government to have too much control over what we learn and know. What if we lived in a dystopian society. For example, if you’ve ever seen the movie or read the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, the city kept everyone from learning about the world’s past and why they have to obey their rules and only their rules and do whatever job they assign them. Private groups and public authorities in various parts of the country are working to remove or limit access to reading materials, to censor content in schools, to label controversial views. Most people believe that free communication is essential to the preservation of a free society and a creative culture. Another touchy topic about they types of censorship we have is open religion. We have the Freedom of Religion. But many schools don’t allow religious practices, teachings, or even how they dress. What’s wrong with anyone expressing their religion and how they think of God peacefully and freely? America is

While some studies conclude that censorship damages educational opportunities, the damages done of not censoring are more drastic. Because of this, school systems should decide what students can access while in an educational setting as long as the censored piece of text, video, picture, etc. is inappropriate, harmful or traumatizing for a learning environment. Censoring inappropriate sites allows students to not partake in any underage, illegal, or provocative activities. But whose decision is it to consider these contents illegal? In a school setting I think it is wrong for our education resources to be censored. One topic that I find ridiculous to censor in school is religion. The government acts like religion is such a sensitive subject (which it can be), but not when its being taught or talked about in an educational setting. I also do not like the thought of hiding theories of scientists. As long as they are taught as theories and just that, I think it can be very interesting, mind opening, and

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 subject of censorship is a very controversial one, especially the banning of books. Many people believe they must protect themselves and others from the "evils" of many classic books and works of art because they can be deemed "indecent" in one way or another. Many believe that this is absurd and censorship in its current form is a violation of our First Amendment right to free speech. Personally, I align myself with the latter, however I do feel there are occasions where censorship is justifiable.

To conclude not the government nor authority needs to censor it to take the power of their piece away from writers and directors is cruel. Taking the art out of the show makes it uninteresting. Information is the key to unity without information we will be in a dark age where we go backwards and become uninformed. But to censor or not to censor that is the question. in society we live in should not every censor one person ever because we need to be united as one soiled unit. If you ever write a story or a play or anything for that matter would you want somebody to censor your art or whatever because they get offended i would guess no. so that is why censorship needs to cease to exist

As the new generation has a fill of new technology and new ways of communication, some argue that these new forms of technology could be harmful to the youth of the world; however, many people argue that the media being portrayed is harmful and vulgar for people who are either watching or listening to some sort of media. This has developed to the argument that censorship is important to shield certain groups from being exposed to raunchy or inappropriate material, but is that always what is best? Shielding certain groups from a show or movie constantly due to something controversial could take away a moment of learning and could possibly stop the group from learning about morals and what is right and wrong. This problem of people hiding material

Americans hate the word censorship. It puts fire into the eyes of any self proclaimed, speaker of the people. but is censorship that bad, or that wrong? Censorship is an enormous part of the stability of society. One of the many types of censorship takes place on the airwaves. Comedians, George Carlin, Howard Stern, and Mncow Muller had an enormous effect on the ideals of censorship in this era, trying to prove that the FCC had no right to censor radio airwaves. They questioned why words we all hear at home cannot be spoken on the radio if listeners are given a proper warning. However, there is no need for young children to be exposed to such lude material and the American people must be more

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
