Censorship?

As I was saying before, one of the many things censored is the internet. The internet is the best place to access any sort of information. Its easy to access, you can use it anywhere if your lucky, you can easily find internet to use if you don't have that pleasure of owning it yourself. It has a wide range of whats held in a single browser that you use. From cooking a thanksgiving feast down to finding the numbers of death out in Afghanistan. It literally has anything you can think of just by typing your thought, idea, or question in the search engine, but with having the ability of finding anything you can imagine, there is that down side. Since you can literally find anything, you can even find something so obscene you couldn't imagine to think who would look at such crude things. The positive side of having censorship on the internet is that we don't have to see the horrendous things in life. Websites, softwares, filters, and people all have the power to censor a website by simply viewing the content . It helps detect what is truly bad for you and possibly your computer. With that, we have the pleasure of not being able to see an actual killing caught on tape that has been put online. Now if someone did post such a thing, it would be immediately be taken off because of the websites rules and regulations they made or have to follow. Then again, with a positive there is always a negative. The negative to having our internet censored is that the possible opinions of what people say get judged and get shut down and gets in the way of their "free speech". When one says their own opinion there is always someone who disagrees and find it obscene and completely wrong, and those who think its wrong convince others why its wrong and people actually fall for it. Soon after the one with their opinion gets shunned then flagged and spammed with hatred and soon gets their ideas removed as if their opinion was nothing. Then the reason why their opinion

    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.…

    Censorship has always been a hot topic in society. The censorship of today is debated just as it was one hundred years ago. Back then, the author of “The Atlantic Monthly” clearly demonstrated that scenes inappropriate from some should not be freely publicized, and from the censorship seen in today’s society, it is clear that he has a valid point.…

    There could be many reasons why people have to need to censor, and it usually depends on the type of government a certain country has and the type of citizens they have. And by type I mean by their race, religion, what they are interested in, what they do as a career, etc. A good example of this situation could be the book “Fahrenheit 451”. Besides from comic books and pornography, every single type of books are censored, from the religious texts to the fiction chapter books. Although books are the main things that are censored from this society, but without books, many other things have changed. Things such as it is illegal to be a pedestrian because people don’t have time to drive slowly and stop for others, therefore people drive really fast and if someone is pedestrian, they could get run over.…

    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…

    Censoring the internet doesn’t allow individuals to know the truth about the world we live in. Also, it contradicts with our law of freedom of speech. Critics argue that if we’re blind to the world, it’s more dangerous than living in a world of truth. “Critics also say that by implementing a law on internet censorship, abusive government officials will get away with their wrong practices such as abuse of power and corruption” (Green Garage). Even though that might be true, the government will always do whatever it takes to hide certain information that could break them. In the end censoring the web will always be a tough topic to debate about. Experts have made very important points on why we shouldn’t censor the web but I still believe censoring it will be a huge advancement to everyone. Censoring the web prevents human trafficking, cyber bullying and stops identity theft. It also ends things like the black market and the other illegal activities. The list of upsides that censoring the web has can go on forever. I think everyone can agree though that saving people lives and stopping criminals in the act is way more important than some “truth” that might be hidden from us. Censoring the internet will either make or break this world and in the end we have to decide whether it’s worth finding…

    Our culture should not have censored material. I think that if you have censored material it is hiding away part of the real world. Keeping controversial and upsetting material away from the public eye promotes ignorance and stupidity, but I feel that sometimes there should be limitations for the comfort of others. Overall, people should become more open minded and except the fact that they are going to see or hear things they do not want to. I think if you do not like something, then do not do anything that has to do with it. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury he shows that censoring material causes people to become lazy and not think.…

    Censorship protects our children from seeing what could possibly damage them mentally and keeps things that should not be seen in public to stay in the shadows. Many people hate censorship because they think it takes away their freedom of speech. It doesn’t because as long as the people don’t say things that should be said they won’t be censored. Censorship stops things from being seen that shouldn’t be. Censorship is a necessity for the new…

    Many reasons exist for people to favor censorship, both by the government and in schools. These people may feel that internet filters and rating systems insufficiently block obscene material. Some people believe that children exposed to inappropriate material will become promiscuous or will become desensitized by violence on television. Although censorship may be necessary in protecting national security, there is no evidence to support that it protects children, and therefor...…

    Even though many people don’t want Internet censorship, the Internet should be censored for three reasons. Internet was developed and used since the 1960s. Today it has over a few billion users, and a lot of them are children, so that makes it more needed to censor webs or images on the Internet. First of all, inappropriate pictures on websites are not suitable for children. The images on the internet have many things children have never seen before, so new images could damage a child’s mind and totally change their thoughts, furthermore, children could also be influenced instead not by their parents or friends but the pictures or articles on the Internet. They could do dreadful things to the society, school, as well as on the Internet. Secondly, articles or videos could be insulting or offensive to a specific group of people or the people of a country. Religious offence could be taken, in addition could even have a cosmic effect on the society; it could even start political issues or even wars. On the date 30 September of 2005, a Denmark cartoonist posted a few images on a public web on the Internet of Muhammad (meaning the face of Muslims). The Muslims discovered those cartoons, and it was really offensive to the Muslims, and it was a religion that they would never come up with that or draw it. So then the Muslims started targeting the government of Denmark, and bombing religious or important places of Denmark. The final reason why Internet Censorship should be allowed on the Internet is to block images and articles that are fake, and tell lies. People of the society usually want to go over there limits by trying to do the impossible, but the fact that many images and videos are photo shopped and posted on the internet, this makes the people want to try those actions and eventually they would get physically damaged or mentally damaged. Some products that fake and sold on the…

    If the internet was not bound by any law how would that affect the world? Internet is a big chunk in our life, and one more time were shown that the government tries to control our us. “No government should have the right to refuse its citizens access to information solely because they perceive it to be ‘unwanted”’ (Pemberton, Ash, and Patrick Harrison February 21, 2010). Just imagine your life without communication, any free knowledge, and without the freedom you deserve as a citizen. The benefits of having internet are huge because who nowadays who uses a newspaper? Who calls places when they can just e-mail? And if you’re in another country you can just communicate with your families and friends by websites and e-mails. The internet does not only works for socializing but it can give you knowledge I mean who knows more than Google, where you can go ask any question and there are many opinions and site where you can learn so much by reading it, or Wikipedia where you can get help on homework and see what others think and even get answers from professionals. Yes the world would be affected without internet, companies that sell clothes and materials would be out of business and technology would just take a step back.…

    Censorship is a controversial topic that has split people’s opinions, beliefs and arguments into halves. Since the 15th century, many forms of printing press have been subject to censorship and the same applies to movies, broadcasting, televisions and the internet in the 20th century. Censorship is mostly used to impose moral values on the society, as to censor material that are considered aggressive. Censorship is considered by some people as a form of prohibition and punishment, while others consider censorship as a tool to prevent corruption due to harmful, sensitive and inconvenient words or actions. This tool doesn’t only mean that one party blocking certain materials from the other, it may also result in editing some parts of the content.…
