Body Paragraph
It is commonly asserted that cencorship is necessary for some reasons such as protection of children or govermental secrets, it is definitely against the human rights and freedom of press. Newspapers and news are the only way which let people know the situation in the country or even outside of the country. Ann Cooper who is the Executive Director of CPJ claimed that in the countries which practise censorship, people are separated from other people and everthing because of the dictatorial behaviors of the goverment, and they are fearful (2 May 2006). It shows that censorship kils the freedom in the country and it has bad effects on people, and maket hem feel insecure even their home country. Another bad effects of the censorship is the possibility of the fake news.If the media does not let people knoow the things happening , because of the censorship, that can cause many fake news from unreliable sources. To sum up, to protect the freedom in a country , censorship definitly should not a practise , because of any reason.

    There are some times where it is needed little, and also times where it is not needed at all. And even the times it is needed, it is not needed to the extent that it is used. There are very many ways censorship is bad for this country, and very few ways it is actually needed. Censorship in the knowledge of other countries, censorship from the government, censorship in technology, and censorship in learning are just few ways censorship is misused in the U.S. Everyone knows, as well as the pro-censorship believers, that censorship is misused in some areas. And that other areas it is not needed at all. Anyone that is pro-censorship knows well enough that it is wrong, the way it is misused. To close my argument i would like to point out the fact that pro-censorship believers have no real reason behind why it is a good thing, and cannot prove wrong that it is bad for not only children, but everyone in america. Now, i would like to resm my case by again saying to simply look into the negatives and positives of censorship, and see which one outweighs the…

    The act of censorship has many consequences, one of them being the inability to think for oneself. If people are not presented with controversial material they won't be able to form their own opinions or ideas. This allows those in power to easily control and brainwash its citizens through censored information. The people of this society have no other choice but to believe the information…

    Whether in a democratic, monarchical, or communist country censorship has an important role in contemporary society. Beginning in Ancient Greece, censorship took its hold on democracy. In today’s society, the term censorship is more often seen as a negative language; however, positive effects of censorship should also be considered. In recent years, censorship has evolved even further. Not only has it influenced the mindset of the people through books and newspapers, censorship has increased its channels and reached peoples’ thoughts through the vast media. With the influence of the media, censorship is often a word associated with negative images, such as suppression, iron curtain, and the control of thoughts. On the contrary, censorship has also been proven to protect the mind of the innocents. Therefore, it can be questioned if censorship should be allowed in our society.…

    The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) states that “the real challenge is to fully exploit the potential of new media while not compromising civil liberties, including the right to freedom of expression, to education and also to privacy.” Despite these declarations, censored countries still restrict their citizens from access to public information. As someone who believes in an open share of information, I believe these restrictions are extremely unethical. In North Korea, only 9.7 percent of the adult population owns a cellphone compared to 91 percent of adults in the United States according to the Pew Research Center. In Cuba, only certain government officials have open access to unlimited Internet. Those who manage to gain access to unblocked Internet and use it towards speaking their mind by creating pages such as blogs are often jailed. The CPJ insists, “Imprisonment is the most effective form of intimidation and harassment used against journalists.” These tactics and limitations are what cause many people to fear speaking out against their repressive governments, which causes indifference when social injustice issues arise. Not allowing citizens to be exposed to vast methods of information limits their ability to grow intellectually. These restrictions keeps people provincial, as they do not know anything past what…

    Censorship violates humanity's natural autonomy in that it denies an individual an uninfluenced choice in formulating his or her beliefs. Even if the most intelligent human beings are very sure in respect to the truth of an idea, it is wrong for certain individuals to deny other individuals the opportunity to come to a decision themselves. Censorship is wrong because it disregards humanity's basic rational nature and its ability to critically evaluate complex ideas. In effect, censorship is unacceptable because it refuses to recognize another human being's intelligence and free will.…

    Censorship is the act of suppressing ideas, words or images so as to control the information or data that people can access. Private parties or the government can participate in promoting censoring for their benefit or as a way of protecting the community, religion or even a state from blasphemy, treason or explicit content. Censorship has been there for a long time, and it can be traced to as early as 300 Ad where a censorship law was passed in China. Blocking the ideas of people is viewed as a way of controlling the political and moral life of the society. Most governments use censorship as a way of preventing any evil influence from reaching the people in society`. Censorship has both active and negative impacts on the people. Does censorship…

    Pillai, the author of “Pros and Cons of Censorship” says, “It prevents the public display of disrespect to any individual or community.” It hides private or personal information from being displayed onto social media. From the same passage, “Pros and Cons of Censorship”, it reads “Censorship is necessary to preserve secrets of a nation.” This shows how censorship keeps an individual’s personal information private, and how it protects their identity from being exposed to the…

    Censorship In Canada

    • 1749 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In some parts of the world or even in history, totalitarian societies like this existed and thrived at one point or another as, within their society, not a lot of people knew the truth and could fight the censorship their government was doing. During Hitler’s reign, censorship of all free forms of communications and educated materials was how Hitler basically brainwashed the younger generations of Germans into hating the Jewish. Propaganda was a massive contributor in censorship, as works like Mein Kampf, Der Giftpilz and Trust no Fox were published and read in schools, at home, or anywhere to ensure that the political power had perfectly manipulated a country into believing things they shouldn’t have. This is the insidious side of censorship, the side that enables a government's power over people based on how well they can manipulate a person’s rights. This sad fact is the reason censorship should be fought against; no one should ever be brainwashed into thinking that their rights aren’t as essential because the government has told them so. In modern day China, there’s a heavy amount of censorship that goes on, most of it being media related, from going to the movies all the way up to even texting someone, the government is able to access it all. In Canada, we are lucky enough to not have a pervasive system like this, but if we don’t take action now, who is to say that Canada couldn’t end up like Australia or even America when it comes to censorship - intrusive systems that have no use in protecting one’s…

    Supported by a study conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, in no country did more than twenty nine percent say that media freedom is “not very important” or “not important at all.” Opposition to media censorship is widespread as the action contradicts the promise of freedom of expression. When the government restricts content on the Internet and social networking applications, they are denying artists their right to express themselves. Preferably, the government can take a lighter approach and merely monitor media to maintain the safety of a country. If a country seems to be in danger, the government should intervene, for their purpose is to protect citizens, not to dismiss…

    Mass media is swarming with violent images and messages and today’s youth spend a significant amount of time with media. It is believed that media is highly influential in youth, and it affects their attitude and violent behavior. Crucial concerns for practitioners are: violent media messages and images, and their effects on adolescent, the susceptibility violence in the media has on teens, and how valid is the research. According to Hogan, Marjorie J., “preventable violence still accounts for the top three most common causes of death in the adolescent age group”. (Jun…
