- 92: Sex On The Net
- ... ten years, who have an unlimited supply of pornography. They have been exposed to it from an early age and it has become an addiction like smoking or drinking. Part of the problem is that censorship laws are not enforced. Some newsagents will sell a twelve-year-old, pornography, (legal age of 18) but will not sell them a packet of cigarettes (legal age of 16 until June 1994). The obvious ... five billion members and it is impossible to follow them all. How can we delete the pornography when a new batch arrives every day and it is impossible to stop it. Another point, which makes censorship difficult, is the fact that censorship laws have only recently being required. In England for instance, censorship laws have, for hundreds of years, concentrated on heretic materials, where as now, they are finding that the only offence censorship is needed ...

- 95: Violence Due To The Media
- ... To The Media Recent outbreaks of violence involving adolescents have resulted in many ignorant people pointing the blame at entertainment. This preposterous blame has inspired a lot of controversy and there are some who see censorship as the solution to the growing problem of violence. I find this absurd. I am strongly opposed to the censorship of any material that is not extremely graphic and believe that parents should regulate what their children should see. Omitting violence from the media does not omit it from life and thinking that it does is ridiculous. Would you butcher a Shakespearean play by cleaning up the language and taking out all scenes that contain violence? I think not. Why is censorship more acceptable in any other form? Profanity cannot harm a teenager or adult in any way since it is merely words. Children should not be exposed to it, so children should not be allowed ...
- 96: Hate Groups and the Internet
- ... site may serve as an educational tool. Sites for such political groups as "Greenpeace" and "Artists Against Racism" which are abundant on the net obviously have their good and bad aspects, but when talking about censorship it is of a growing concern that these sites will be lost as well. There are also the educational hate sites like "hatewatch" which, while its goal is to educate the public, also provides links to the hate group sites which is a major concern for the conservative parent. There are also many religious and purely educational sites on the which could be in trouble with increased censorship. A primary example of this is to do a search on "blacks" or "Jews", the results will give many sites devoted to the history, politics, or many other factors of each group but will also list sites devoted to the hatred and discrimination of these groups. So while the censorship of hate sites has a promising outlook to it, in the most general terms it is a fine line between what is good and bad on the net and a line which is murky ...
- 97: Haroun And The Sea Of Stories
- ... Sea of Stories Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a intriguing tale that could easily be classified as a children's story, but beneath its surface it shows one man's struggle to overcome censorship and religious persecution. Mark McDannald of Washington and Lee University has written a series of essays on this story. His work, "The Allegorical Defiance of Censorship in Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories," is an insightful critique on a major literary effort. He views Haroun and the Sea of Stories as an allegory that expresses Salman Rushdie's desire to battle censorship in the world of literature, while fulfilling his duties of being a good father to his son. Throughout his essays McDannald remains unbiased, favoring neither Rushdie nor the Fatwa in his analysis. Although he ...
- 98: Freedom In The United States
- ... freedom or freedom for the first time. He depicts how people of all backgrounds worked together for one cause: freedom. I selected Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 as a fictitious example of the evils of censorship in a world that is becoming illiterate. In this book, the government convinces the public that book reading is evil because it spreads harmful opinions and agitates people against the government. The vast majority of people accept this censorship of expression without question and are content to see and hear only the government's propaganda. I found this disturbing yet realistic. Bradbury's hidden opposition to this form of censorship was apparent throughout the book and finally prevailed in the end when his main character rebelled against the practice of burning books. Among the many forms of protests are pickets, strikes, public speeches and ...
