Censorship Debate essay

some time. Though this is the home of the free and land of the brave, how far does the

freedom go? Current censorship completely holds back literary works that are made into

Currently, 40 percent of the population opposes censorship. The other 60 percent

of the population either do not care about censorship or promotes it. The entertainment

industry is one of the largest parts of the country’s income, to shut it down would be

tragic to the economy. Imagine what would happen if censorship did not have to be a part

of the world. As of this day and age, entertainment comes from the most taboo parts of

. . .

Fiction is the largest type of movie made and watched because of the entertaining and

wild action and sexual scenes The United States has made some of the best movies that

the world will ever see such as: Lethal Weapon, Braveheart, and The Godfather. Movies such

as Toy story are no exception. More and more sex, violence and profanity market their way into movies.

Motion Pictures have played a large part in the lives of millions of people for the

past 70 years.

Teenagers and children have a fear of openness with their parents. The

factors that these movies hold in common are the awesome gun/sword fights, explosions

and sex, all of which is usually necessary to succeed as a good action movie. If childish cartoon movies are acceptable with a violent

plot of stopping and beating up the “ bad guy” of the story, then why not real action

people of the supposed “free nation” from what they can or cannot see and hear. In Europe, the children and teens have little or

no discomfort when confronting parents with similar issues simply because sex and

violence is shown on that miracle box in the living room. Each day, a

parents tells his/her child the truth about where babies come from. Most would agree it is now the land

of the *beep* and the home of the *beep*. Europe,

mainly England, Germany, France and Russia, has seen a dramatic decrease in teen

pregnancy and homicide since censorship does not exist in those countries.
