Why fix, what isn't broken?
Censorship, a loss to the youth of our generation?
We have a right to know.
Is the removal of graphic content worth losing the importance of a story/issue? Definitely not! When the media becomes censored, the opinions and voices of Aurthors, Reporters and Broadcasters in particular become silenced, which leads to bias and can strecth the story or issue. We cannot take away educational and inspirational resources from our generation, we have a right to know.
Aurthors voices silenced.
How to kill a Mockingbird. An inspirational book of a white man defending a black man in a court case. This all time great was banned due to rape, and racial content. How can a peice of amazing literature art be thrown away so easily? A rather huge loss to the youth of our generation i'd say.
J.k Rowling
One of the most banned authors in the U.S for the past decade. Know worldwide for her inspirational book series 'Harry Potter' This series express themes about friendship, trust and unity, although it was banned due to the promotion of witchcraft and it sets bad examples.
Crossing the line?
kyle Sandilands, a radio announcer and broadcaster, expresses his strong opinion in an 'unsuitable' way and has been censored on national television. In this case, censoring his rather inappropriate words creates boundaries that are suitable for the audience, but does this force kyle to twist his words away from actual fact?
Positives and Negatives
The debate over censorship can go on forever. Yes censoring media in general promotes a more suitable atmoshpere for the audience, and it does prevent youth from being exposed to the 'real world'. But from censorship, people are unable to express their opinion, which may create bias amongst the audience. so why stretch the story? We have a right to know about our evloving world , being able to watch, read and listen to what we desire is freedom, lets set us free, censorship... No more!
