Censorship part 2

What is censorship? What it means to me is to hide, cover, or block anything deemed bad or inappropriate on media, television, radio, books, or anything else. Censorship can be good or bad, depending on who censors it, and what is being censored.

When is it okay to censor? I would think it is okay to censor sex and the human body when it’s being used or displayed, only if it is used for bad reasons. It is okay when it is art and not used.
I think kids or children who haven’t fully matured yet should not be exposed to inappropriate or provocative material. When your body and mind are more matured and you are more understanding of the natural art of the human body.

Who decides? I think most of the time it depends. Parents can decide to censor the television and video games and stuff but I really think that if the media and t.v. producers censored, children wouldn’t be exposed as much to whatever shouldn’t be seen or to them yet.

When should it never be censored? Well it depends on what it is but I would thing if material is used for knowledge and education, or for reasons that are not bad or inappropriate.

I personally believe that censorship is a great thing to a certain point.I loved the way you put your personal thoughts and what you think its right. And its true we don't all mature at the same time you're defiantly right about that. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all be at the same mature level? unfortunately we aren't, making it hard for teachers to read certain books.
