The Government In Fahrenheit 451 By Ray Bradbury

Complications in society occur perpetually. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, the government prevents all possible dilemmas between people with the use of censorship. But not only does this transpire in the novel, but it occurs in reality as well.

It ultimately shows that the government censors so much, that society can not even compose simple conversations because of the lack of thought.

SNL produces lots of parody skits that commonly offend people in one way or another, most specifically because of racial slurs. So to avoid these issues, the big companies that own shows like these, that have some sort of connection with the government through funding or sorts, censor and even change the skit
