First Amendment Rights Freedom Of Speech
1,232 words
Have you ever sat down on a Wednesday night with a
hot buttery bowl of popcorn and a cold soda to
watch your favorite movie in its television debut?
Watching closely with anticipation you prepare
yourself for the great action and drama that
captured your imagination when you originally saw
it in the theater, only to find that every swear
word and potentially offending scene has been
dubbed over or removed. Don't you love it when
badly mimicked mouth movements and the extraction
of entire scenes ...

Acts Of Violence Televised Violence
1,981 words
The other day while I was in a local McDonalds, I
noticed a disturbing scene. A father and two young
boys were waiting in line to get an early lunch.
The younger of the two boys lay dozing off, while
the other more energetic ran around, playing with
things as most five years olds do. The young boy
walking around saw a toy that was claimed to be
included in the infamous Happy Meal. He pleaded
quietly with his father, who told him that he
would get whatever toy came with the meal.
Unsatisfied, the...

Material On The Internet Difficult To Find

Introduction With more and more frequency the
newspapers are reporting instances of school
children distributing disks of pornographic images
which they have downloaded from the net and
recently a university student was found to be
operating such a site for material. On November
11, an Associated Press release (Phillips, 1994)
reported that Carnegie Mellon University had
decided to block its users from accessing sexually
explicit materials through the Internet: the
university's president feared ...

Parents Choose Censor Music Censorship
337 words
Have you ever wondered why people censor music
Artists? It seems that music is getting more
censored than it should. They censor music because
it has bad words, but its not right to do it
because it messes up their lyrics. Censorship
means that the government censor words on TV and
music are not for children. On the internet it
says that it is sometimes bad to censor and
sometimes good. Artists are getting madder and
madder everyday. They are blocking the Artists art
and people who are listening...

Fahrenheit 451 Essay -- A warning to society
Social Satire: trenchant wit, irony, or sarcasm
used to expose and discredit vice or folly, as
defined by Merriam-Webster Online. Fahrenheit 451
by Ray Bradbury uses social satire in a most
direct way to expose censorship today. When
Bradbury wrote this book, censorship was just
creeping into the lives of humans, and today
censorship has built a protective bubble around
everything we do. Fahrenheit 451 s satire of
censorship is aimed at American media...

... in the USA). Non commercial entities jumped on
the bandwagon and started sewing these networks
together (an activity fully subsidized by
government funds). The result was a globe
encompassing network of academic institutions. The
American Pentagon established the network of all
networks, the ARPANET. Other government
departments joined the fray, headed by the
National Science Foundation (NSF) which withdrew
only lately from the Internet. The Internet (with
a different name) became public pro...

Wal Mart Death Row

... pro-homosexual lyrics. Other states including
Virginia have followed suit by passing the same
law. This means that millions of dollars in stock
could potentially be removed from companies such
as Time Warner if the state decides it doesn't
approve of any one album produced by that company.
This gives the government a huge amount of power
and control over the artistic content of a
company's label. Local governments practice
censorship even more often than the federal
government. In Detroit, M...

Museum Of Art Freedom Of Expression
1,173 words
What is art? Can it be defined in any single
painting, or sculpture? Is it even something that
can be seen, or does it have to be experienced?
The term "art" is so vague that it can be applied
to almost anything, really. Mostly, however, art
should be that which frees our imagination. It
connects our conscious with our subconscious,
putting into a visual form what we feel and think.
It allows us to explore our inner self and fill
that urge to understand our minds and our
universe. Art helps us t...

Mein Kampf Ray Bradbury

From your parents you learn love and laughter and

books are opened you discover that you have wings.
1 Twentieth century was the most extraordinary
time period, remarkable with revolutionary and
rapid technological development, shaken by two
World Wars and exploration of strict dictatorships
along with unrestricted freedom. Kingdoms and
empires neighbored republics, which allowed people
to compare, and contrasts various social and

Tax Dollars First Amendment

The First Amendment of the United States
Constitution states that Congress shall make no
law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the
press. But what rights do minors have when they
walk into a school? Do these rights disappear
completely, or do they still exist in full? Is the
answer somewhere in between? This debate has many,
many facets. But one significant piece involves
censorship of literature in Americas public
schools. The list of books that have been banned
completely in many schools ...

Written Word Powerful Force

Censorship in the Written Word The written word is
mankind s oldest form of recorded information. It
has allowed us to read about ideas and events of
times long past. Writing was once accessible only
to the rich and powerful, but the printing press
allowed the common people the ability to read
books cheaply, and more importantly, the ability
to publish books and pamphlets of their own. Using
a printing press, anyone had the ability to record
and distribute his or her ideas. The printed word

Kill An Idea Free Speech People

Censorship is a great temptation, particularly
when we see something that offends or frightens
us. At such times, our best defense is to remember
what J. M. Coetzee writes in Giving Offense:
Essays on Censorship. By their very nature,
censors wound their own vision when they restrict
what others can see. The one who pronounces the
ban becomes, in effect, the blind one, the one at
the center of the ring in the game of blind mans
bluff. But the new landscape of ideas and their
control leaves many ...

Producer Director Deep Throat

The ability to sexually stimulate an audience is
one of the earliest distinctions of film. Before
the turn of the century, an exotic dancer named
Fatima performed her act for the motion-picture
cameras and for at least those segments of the
public who saw the film uncensored. In the brief
peep-show films of the early 1900 s, scantily-clad
women posed, danced, or undressed in such
then-daring efforts as Her Morning Exercise and
The Pajama Girl. Municipal censorship boards
started appearing in Ame...

Personal Freedom In the United States of America
No other democratic society in the world permits
personal freedoms to the degree of the United
States of America. Within the last sixty years,
American courts, especially the Supreme Court,
have developed a set of legal doctrines that
thoroughly protect all forms of the freedom of
expression. When it comes to evaluating the degree
to which we take advantage of the opportunity to
express our opinions, some members of society may
be guilty of violat...

Censorship is a big issue, which we seem to be
confronted a lot with, especially in the school
environment. We have tried to determine if certain
books such as I know why the caged bird sings and
