Censorship is a good thing because it limits inappropriateness in many ways. For example, in the book Fifty Shades of Grey, there is inappropriateness shown in a sexual way and a verbal way and shows abuse. This shows that some books should be censored, due to inappropriate things in novels, magazines, and in movies. In conclusion censorship isn’t always a good thing.…
For the past twenty or so years information has largely been stored in digital form, providing the current generation of digital natives with access to more and more information in recent years. With this new flow of information available to the public has come increased censoring by the government. However, this is not a new issue as some might believe. Since the first primitive government was established information has been shielded and manipulated from the every day citizens of the world by those in power. The cause fought against information censorship enjoys the same past. For as long as information has been censored there have been those who have fought against it (Newth, 2010). This issue has arisen particularly in the United States, as some believe access to any information that exists is a right protected by the Constitution.…
“In 2001, the International Telecommunication Union calculated that, approximately 2.3 billion people had internet access at the end of that year. Since then, the percentage of people using the internet around the world has continued to grow” (Li 2). Censoring the internet has been a hot topic for quite a while now. Many people believe that censoring the web isn’t a good thing because of certain laws and rights we have as citizens. The internet has some cons but it also has many pros. The downside of the censorship is that the truth is blocked out and it violates our freedom of speech. On the other hand, censorship of the internet can reduce the numbers or even stop human trafficking, prevent identity theft, stop cyber bullying and so much…
Censorship, in true form, is the systematic banning of books, the Internet, or other literature due to content that has been deemed inappropriate. In the United States, it is used widely in the context of adolescent literature. Resistors to this movement often claim that the government is violating many children’s first amendment rights. Numerous cases have been brought. Others find this act of restricting material devastating to the education system. Censorship has infringed on children’s first amendment rights and has violated the civil liberties of American youth.…

Wesley Scroggins states in the article “Scroggins: Filthy books demeaning to Republic education”, “In high school English classes, children are required to read and view material that should be classified as soft pornography”(Springfield News- Leader). He then states that Speak should not be allowed in English classes because it is inappropriate for teenagers to be reading by viewing soft pornography. Laurie Halse Anderson states within her essay “A Comment About Censorship”, “Reading and discussing books is one of the most effective ways to get teens to think through and learn about the challenges of adolescence.” This shows that Anderson disagrees with Scroggins and has completely different views and opinions on how the book is perceived. In order to show society why she views her novel in her perspective, she wrote “A Comment About Censorship”.…
Writers in the “censorship is a must” perspective believes that censorship is important for the general public. Specifically, these writers believe that whoever is in the know must not tell the whole truth to others. People would surely go crazy and should not be allowed to read just any piece of literature. Also, in that respect, not just any piece of literature should be published and writers themselves should be censored, according to this perspective.…

The problem of Internet censorship, the act of limiting access to undesirable sites, continues to grow in today’s world. While justifying censorship in other countries because of nondemocratic governments, the United States Constitution grants the protection of an American’s freedom of speech, causing for the rise of many controversies and scandals.…
The internet should be censored in the United States. There are countless websites and search engines that have inappropriate and sometimes false information. Websites such as Wikapedia say that they are accurate but are known for giving false information. Pornographic websites sometimes have harmless URL addresses that can be easily stumbled upon by under age children. In addition, social networking websites do not enforce age restrictions and can be dangerous for young children. These are all examples of the dangers of the lack of censorship on the internet.…
* The internet is the fastest growing and largest tool for mass communication and information distribution in the world. It can be used to distribute large amounts of information anywhere in the world at any time. The Australian government revealed a plan to put in place a compulsory filter on the internet to prevent access to inappropriate material. In 2011, the people of Australia and its politicians alike have expressed major concerns over this introduction of a censorship, as the vast amount of ethical and practical problems associated with this scheme are triggering the debate. Good morning, my name is Amanda and I strongly oppose the introduction of internet censorship in Australia for multiple reasons.…
The government is suppose to protect our freedom of expression, not censor it. People are putting censorship (officially suppressing ideas or writing) on art, book, and the internet. After Donald Trump became president multiple government websites disappeared from the web. These websites helped to inform US citizens about what is going on in the government. There shouldn’t be censors on the information people need, art people observe, or books people read. These censoring had formed unworldly, immature teenagers. Our young adults are the future, and they’re not ready to go into the adult world still. Censorship has got out of control because it infringes on teenagers rights to learn about the world and to express themselves.…
