Censorship

To me censorship is something that someone does when something in the media isn’t appropriate for a certain group of people. For example if there is a lot of violence or sexuality in a movie someone may censor it so that it is PG-13 or R rated. I think that people do this in order to protect little kids for being too exposed to the world. But to me everyone is different; they have different maturity levels at certain stages of their lives. Why do we censor if we are just going to see it later on in life.

I think that there should be a point, a line drawn about what should and should not be on television. Some people tell me that is what censoring is for. I am talking about just not showing it at all. Some people don’t have good judgments so we shouldn’t show it. When certain things are rated PG-13 I think that it’s not a really good way to say when things should be censored because everyone is at different maturity levels. What may be PG-13and is appropriate for me could not be appropriate for some of my friends.

I think that you should censor naked people including babies because you have no idea who is going to watch the movie and if they are a child molester or something like that. I also think that you should censor violence. If you are going to rate something and put an age rang on it you should at least put what apparent thinks is an appropriate age for it or put it as maturity level. People are seeing things that are hurting people. The movie director is the one that chooses what it is rated but the parents are the ones who should decide in my opinion.

I think though that you should not censor things on the news because we need to be informed with no sugar coating because that will only hurt people more in the end. People will stop trusting the news and then not listen to what it says. Like if you should evacuate the state because terrorist are going to blowup the state or something like that. We need to feel like we can trust at least on thing right?
