What is the importance of censorship, When we have Freedom of Speech?

Answer 1

Exactly!

Answer 2

i don't know what is up with the censorship
maby it's like the way they keep control

if everyone could say what they wanted

things would be way different

if kids could have freedom in school

like so many times i've wanted to write about stuff that would never good grades

even though i know i'm good enough to get a's on my writting things

but it's almost seems like i'm selling myself short to do that

and just play that role

thats why i think school is useless in a lot of ways

because people who just do what teachers tell them have a good chance of getting better marks than the people who challenge them

but if you look at history

the people who have made all the progress in world

are people who challenged stuff

those kind of people are always getting it hard from the man

malcom x

or even john lennon got it bad

or nelson mandella

it looks like they are trying to keep and original thinkers from getting their idea's heard

if you get a good teacher it can change your life

cuz they'll let you away with it

but don't band against those students who challenge things

if i could give any advice

question things

cuz how they get changed


but be warned

when you do question things

they're gonna try and beat you down

Answer 3

There's nothing correct about political "correctness".
It's liberals trying to force their form of CENSORSHIP down everyone's throats.
(this is why I'm a •MODERATE•)
I'm my own person & pride myself on not being PC.
Once you go PC, you've given up having your own opinions & now only say what a good lil' zombie is told to.
The OLD ways are DEAD & you need people around you who concur.
That means hanging out more with the creative people, the freaks & REAL visionaries, than you're already doing.
Think more about what their needs are & respond accordingly.
Avoid the dullards;
avoid people who play it safe.
They can't help you anymore.
Their stability model no longer offers stability.
They're extinct, they're extinction.

Answer 4

Censorship of words in movies, books, tv shows and music is the scariest thing to me. Never should words be bleeped. There is just no need except for the government to prove to it'self they can do what they want.

Answer 5

It is very important. One can say any and everything in a civilized way. Although freedom is very important, a civilized society should have standards; one can say the same thing in a civilized way; mild censorship can ensure that.

Answer 6

To "protect the innocent children". Not that I agree. I think that job belongs to parents. Words are just words -- they're sounds. Freedom of speech is intended to protect the speech that is least popular, otherwise there would be no need for the first amendment.

Answer 7

freedom of speech does not mean freedom to libel a person , to pervert the youth , to promote hatred , that would be abusing the very values that liberty of speech upholds.

Answer 8

censorship is important to me because I have children and they don't need to be exposed to things at an age they can't mentally understand them. Its important for a family to make a decision as to what there children are exposed to as to give them the tools they need for the future

Answer 9

I agree! Censorship is just a way to control others and to try and make them believe what you believe...

Answer 10

Depend on the government and leader. Some don't want public know they are doing a bad job or embarrassing them.

Answer 11

There is no importance of censorship.
