Censorship exists in our everyday lives. On a large scale, censorship is used in the media and sometimes even by the government. On a small scale, we all use censorship in our lives, in the things we might have heard or seen. However, have we ever stumbled upon questions like: is this kind of censorship really necessary? Does this do more harm or good to us and our lives? Who will draw the lie for censorship?
To people like parents, teachers or others in the educational field, most of them would say, “censorship is necessary without it we will have terror.” To a certain extent, censorship do helps the society. Censorship in racial issues prevents riots and undesired misinterpretation of one another. In the political area, it helps to protect the government and national interests. It prevents sensitive issues from being raised, causing unnecessary tension. Therefore, censorship also decreases tension.
It acts as a shield to protect the young and weak-minded. It ensures that the wrong messages are not passed across. For example, children or innocent teens might think that having many sex partners is nothing wrong as they mimic these actions and images that they see. With censorship, it would prevent these wrong ideas from being transmitted to the minds of the young and innocent.
However, as the saying goes, a coin has two sides. Other than the good of censorship, there is also the bad part. Censorship is not necessary as these images or actions are a form of exposure for growth of these kids or teens. These are the true images or scenes of reality. Even if there is censorship on books, television or even the movies, today’s accessibility of information would allow any one to find these kind of information from other sources like the internet.
With censorship, it would mean that objective reporting and freedom of speech is forsaken. In today’s world where everyone talks about freedom of speech, if our country have large amount of censorship, we would then be left behind in the fast developing society. Every human have a heart with conscious and a mind to think for themselves. Thus censorship is unnecessary as everyone could practice on viewing such images and videos and reading such materials.
I believe that parents sending enough quality time teaching the right and wrong to their children and educating them on the morals would be the best deterrent in preventing bad influence of the child. If the child really wants to see or read these censored stuff, they will have their means to find them still. Thus how a parent educates or teaches them is very important; sometimes these rated films could be used to teach too.
In today’s world,
What governs our mind?
What governs our action?
What governs the right and wrong?
Is it justice? or is it man’s need for control.
From the time that humans are able to think rationally, humans start to crave for wealth, power and control. With control it makes us feel safe and secure. Thus it is inevitable that human wants control over what is published and what is not.
Therefore, censorship, a form of control, will always exist in this world.
