Censorship prohibits knowledge and information. Censorship is congress attempting to ban specific parts of songs, books, movies, etc. that may contain damaging, or explicit context. A book trying to be banned because of censorship is Night by Elie Wiesel. This book talks about the Holocaust from a victim’s point of view.

One modern day example of censorship for a good reason is in Mark Twain’s book, Huckleberry Finn. Several years ago the “n” word was replaced to slave because many people were uncomfortable with how often the word appeared; 219 times to be precise (Moore, M. T., 2011). One of the big reasons the word was replaced was because of teachers complaints about parents and students saying the book was “injurious” and “hurtful” (Moore, M. T., 2011). Alan Gribben, professor of English at Auburn University-Montgomery says “When the younger reader is staring at that word five times on a given page and the instructor is saying, 'Mark Twain didn't mean this and you have to read it with an appreciation of irony,' you're asking a lot of a younger reader (Moore, M. T., 2011).” Another reason why some are pro censorship is because they think certain media can contaminate minds of people (H, 2015).
After the United States declared independence from Great Britain. The Article of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first constitution of the United States.

Censorship : to block certain information from someone, or to prevent them from doing specific things. In the dystopian future “Fahrenheit 451”, Ray Bradbury created an idea using censorship in which the most illegal object is a book. If one has a printed book, the job of a fireman is not to save people from fires, but instead to completely terminate the book, and the house in which it is being held. Basically, the fireman in this story, do the opposite of their present day jobs which describes a very terrible lifestyle for many. All over the world we have censorship, while it is true that in America we have very little and what we do have is certainly a lot less major than most countries around the world, I can still say that there is some in my life, such as websites being banned in schools, dress codes, and.
Censorship in Fahrenheit 451 and throughout history Censorship is the suppression or prohibition of any parts of books, films, news, etc. that are considered obscene, politically unacceptable, Fahrenheit 451 In “Fahrenheit 451" censorship is presented with a unique and interesting way. In this American society book reading or posses is not allowed by law.
“A book is a loaded gun in the house next door. Burn it. Take the shot from the weapon." (Bradbury 58) Censorship is the act of suppressing speech, works of literature, music, movies, work of arts, and ideas that are thought to be politically incorrect, offensive, and threatening to society. The United States Constitution states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances ( law.cornell.edu) However, historically, government officials and organizations have been “abridging” our freedoms since the inception of this
Censorship can be described as the act of cutting out certain material that can be considered obscene or inconvenient for the community. This material can be found in social media such as in the TV, radio, or the internet. Censorship can be challenged because of the first amendment: freedom of speech. Free expression is the right of expressing opinions and ideas without any fear of being restrained or censored. However, freedom of speech does not include the right to incite actions that would harm others or the distribution of obscene material (Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, 2000).
In this society, the equality which stands between men and women is almost non- existent. It is widely believed that we live in a man’s world. Even something as common to our culture as the English language stands guilty to the possession of a rape content. With the “language of rape” surrounding our everyday lives and yet still being ignored as an issue seeking attention, it is common for many people to overlook the equally degrading images in which advertising agencies surround us with day in and day out.
Despite pornography is much criticized by society, religion, and moral ground, it still has its own advantages that are attributable to married couples, especially to those who are often have problem concerning to lack of sexual desire in their partner or low libido. By watching pornography, they can explore their own sexuality and interest in sexual intercourse thus, helping them to trigger their own desire in sex. They can spend more intimate time by watching pornography together and drawing them closer to each other. There are a lot of reasons of having low libido or lack of interest in having sex such as they might lack of sexual creativity in bead room. Hence they tend to think that sexual intercourse is boring and lose interest.
Should art be censored? Throughout history, many have felt the need to remove or suppress material that they consider to be morally or politically objectionable, such as books, films, or other materials. They feel that these materials should not be taught in schools or shown in public museums. These people believe no one should be subjected to something that may be against their teachings or beliefs. Others, however, do not feel that these or any works of art should be suppressed.
The negative effects on the people who watch porn daily include “legal/occupational issues, social implications, physical problems, and financial troubles.” (Watts and Hilton,2011) In a study conducted by Mulac, Jansma, and Linz, they were able to find that men who watch porn displayed abusive dominance, increased anxiety, and rejected sexual offers from their partners. Pornography racked up a whooping 97 billion dollars in revenue in 2006, which was more than Google, Microsoft, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple, and Netflix. There is no coincidence that there is a pornography addiction problem in the world based off those numbers.
Censorship of the arts is a highly debated and controversial subject that deals with what artistic content is deemed acceptable or unacceptable to the public in society, as well as the limitations of practicing artists’ rights to express themselves through art. In this regard, art should be a way to express one’s own opinions, but should not be used as a vessel for insensitive or malicious intent in dealing with topics such as race and religion. In this essay, I will be discussing this and two other reasons as to why artists should not be given absolute freedom in creating their artworks. These other reasons are that art may also cause controversy within society when dealing with topics unaccepted by conservative members of the public, such as political views that go against the norm, as well as shocking or, to some, disturbing content such as intense or extreme gore and nudity. While these are some reasons why art censorship can be justified, I will also be discussing a counter-argument to these reasons, which is that society should not shoot down views and opinions based solely on a minority that does not approve of them.
