Although the Internet was created in the 1960s as a communications tool of the U.S. military that would withstand even the most severe nuclear war and still be operable, it was not until ...
- 62: Banning Books
- By: Erika E-mail: elm420@hotmail.com Banning Books Our freedom is under attack! Censorship is clearly an attack on our freedom. There are a number of books that are banned or challenged that are great books, such as The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain. These books are classics. Banning these books robs students of great literature. Censorship of books in secondary schools should not be allowed. The list of books that have been banned completely in many schools across the nation is expansive, and so are the reasons that parents and schoolboards give for banning these books. Advocates of literary censorship say that it's best for the students. Opponents say that it is detrimental to the educational system. The students have mixed emotions. Literary censorship at the secondary school level is indeed very widespread. ...

- 64: Censorship In The United States
- Censorship In The United States Censorship within these United States is not only an immoral and big-brotherly practice, but also an insult to all of those who call themselves US citizens. Every day censors everywhere try to sanitize TV, radio ... expending their funds on much more meaningful and important things—not whether or not the “f” word is said on TV or weather a nipple is shown hear or there.

- 66: Art Censorship
- Do's and Don'ts Originally, when the question of art censorship was first addressed I was quite ambivalent about my position. I felt indecisive because on one hand I feel that there should be freedom of speech yet, on the other hand I'm against promoting anti- Semitism. I felt torn between two worlds. Then I began to contemplate; artists, especially controver-sial artists, are frequently susceptible to manipulation and censorship. Sometimes the ac-tion is overt and at other times it is quite subtle. Artists are often asked to change parts of their works to conform to the morality level of the public. Some people ... think it was Picasso who once said, "It took me my whole life to paint like a child". One should never limit the capability of the human imagination. I feel that there should be no censorship in the schools as long as the school pro-motes discussion about anything that offends people. On the other hand, in the park, if there are uncensored or offensive displays there may be no ...

These things aren’t all either, there are millions of things we use or see every day ... of our society and for privacy of each other. All of these things are censored because our lives are influenced by these reasons in one way or another. This will tell you that with out censorship we would live in a world so dirty and irresponsible so indecent and shameful that it could not exist. We pretty much ignore the growth in violence and sexual abuse in our movies and on ... and crime rates would shoot upward. A civilization does not rise in the strength of it’s laws, however. It rises on the strength of its values. What values are we teaching by not having censorship in our society? No its not freedom of speech and its not freedom of the press. It is decency. What all civilized social orders, including our own, have consistently identified as decent, civilized behavior. ...

In response to a New York Time Review of her 1981 book, Pornography: Men Possessing Women, Dworkin writes, “Pornography says the women want to be hurt, forced, and abused; pornography ... liberties that are violated in preventing an act. (Dworkin 185) Since it is uncertain whether there is even a correlation between violence against women and pornography, any attempt to ban it must be viewed as censorship.
