Censorship

Censorship is the control of information and or ideas from an individual or a group. Music, movies, books, television, mail, news, radio, art, theatre and the internet are censored. Some things that can be found though these varies things can be harmful if it gets in the wrong hands. Censorship is a good way of controlling what some people consider to be bad or offensive, and some people feel that censorship is a way that the government can control us as a society. Censorship in my opinion is needed, if these things weren’t censored then there would be a lot more crime and more cruelty to others then what is already out there, through books, media and the internet, but the main things that should never be considered for non- censorship are books, basic television and the internet. I consider censorship as a way the government can keep some of the negativity that we have in our society down. So far in my opinion censorship is working, why fix what’s not broken. Censorship of books is when some books are removed, banned or challenged from schools because of varies reasons. Banning challenging or removing books is done all over the world; I’ve seen a list of some of these banned removed and challenged books and I haven’t read most of them but I have read a few when I was in high school and now that I’m and adult and a parent I can understand why these books have been banned, removed and or even challenged ,because some of them are a little inappropriate for a for child to be reading, there are crimes in them like rapes and killing ,material that is inappropriate for a child to be reading in a classroom. In addition to book censorship there is public television censorship. You can just imagine what would be on public televisions if there were no censorship. I believe that most parents would not let their child/children watch television anymore, because there would be more nudity, more foul language, more inappropriate behavior, offensive material and racial
