Censorship

Censorship? You have to be kidding me!

Censorship is used by government and other ordinary people to basically get rid of things they don’t like and things they think harms society. Censorship puts the people who censor in control. The person who censors is almost like a dictator with all power. Censorship eludes to a fascist government where the government controls what you see and what you do and what you hear. The government basically controls you. Censorship puts all power into the hands of one person or a few people. Censorship in today’s society is unacceptable because it puts too much power in the hands of the government or whoever is censoring, it violates our first amendment rights and society would be better if censorship wasn’t allowed.
Censorship puts too much power in the government. With censorship, the government controls everything you see, do, hear, etc. You’re not an individual anymore; you’re just a product of your government. Censorship hands too much power to the government who control what information people are allowed to access to. You don’t have your unwritten individual rights anymore. You have to do what the government tells you. The government tries to create a utopia through the means of censorship. It’s kind of like World War two Germany, Italy and the Soviet Union. With censorship, the power of the government is limitless. You have zero power while the government has absolute power. With censorship, the government programs everything you can and can’t do into your system. Censorship violates our first amendment rights. The state has no business telling a person whether they can read a specific book or not, if they can watch a specific movie or not, if they can listen to a specific song or not, etc. The First Amendment doesn’t just give you the right to express ideas, there’s also a right to receive them whatever means necessary. The first amendment gives us the right to do whatever we please when it comes to this manner. You should be able to do whatever you want and you shouldn’t be forced to do something that maybe you don’t want to. Censorship is intolerant and those trying to censor relinquish many of your rights that you deserve to have a humans. Many communist countries like North Korea, China, Cuba, Vietnam, etc. have strict laws that promote censorship. Democratic countries like America, have laws that strictly forbid censorship. It is our right to listen, watch, and hear anything we choose to. If there was no censorship in society, society would be a better place. People would have the freedom to choose what newspaper they want to read with their morning coffee, what movie they want to go out and watch what song they want to listen to and enjoy. If people who come to society in America from society in North Korea, they would feel a drastic change. They would feel like aliens with all the freedom we have. If there is no society, then government doesn’t have absolute power. The government won’t be able to tell you what to do or not to do. It would all be your choice. Censorship is bad for society. Censorship has a mind of its own. Censorship is like sweeping dirt under a rug and hoping that no one notices. Even if we can't see it, we know it's there. Censorship limits what society can know and understand. There are many things that if censored societies could see, they would have a more knowledgeable life. Censorship in many countries bans many books, movies, plays and songs basically because the government doesn’t like it. They think it harms society. Censorship puts too much power in the hands of the government and it can often be misused and censorship also greatly violates our first amendment rights. Censorship is destructive for society.
