As people we should have the freedom to think and believe whatever we want, no one else should be able to tell you that what you think and believe is wrong or right in a sense that would make it illegal to believe that. In America this law is not implied and that is the reason that people from all different countries risk their lives to come to America. They want a new start where they can be themselves and believe what they want, the opposite of what this law/idea will do when implied. This is one of the reasons America is considered one of the greatest countries to live in.
Music and censorship are not the two most popular words that most teens think of together when they think of their favorite bands. The constitution protects our music…right? Wrong. In my beliefs, music is protected under the constitution. It should be that way to all.
Music Censorship in America In a country specifically known worldwide for its opportunity and embrace of freedom, it is ironic that the degree of censorship is as prevalent as it remains to be. This is especially true concerning musical expression, and specifically the genres of rock and roll and rap music. The United States Government is supposed to be the voice of its citizens, but concerning censorship and specifically the censorship of popular music, there can be a discord between the government and the people it represents and serves. First Amendment rights and responsibilities One of the principles of our constitution on which America was founded was that every individual has unalienable rights, and one of the most important rights is our freedom of speech. Amanda Reid (2012) states the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights
(free muse) Can we really say censorship is based just off a fear? No one can answer that question without actually knowing the complete and full story line behind music censorship. We cannot understand why music is censored and why there are exceptions being made when it comes to the First Amendment without doing our own research. Music censorship came into play for reasons that known, but though it is known, the subject of music censorship is becoming more controversial by the minute.
This case is perfect for this question because Julian is being victimized by publicly sharing what he knows, about the privacy of civilians. If the theory of free speech was applied, then, civilians would have their privacy and the right to interact and speak about any topic with any given opinion, and no such thing as spying personal conversations would ever had happened. And even if they did happen, Julian Assange would be more than in his right to publically express his knowledge of the issue. As the journalist Oliver Stone wrote, “Julian Assange did much for free speech and is now being victimized by the abusers of that concept.” Looking at the case study above in the perspective of Julian Assange, he created that website so that everybody else would gain knowledge of what was happening inside secret agencies, government... What he did can be justified using the Kantian duty-based theories, where he did what he thought everybody had the right to know, his intention was to aware; he was altruistic in the sense that what he did was fully for the benefit of
Artists and Intellectuals Should Have Total Freedom of Speech Mamunur Rashid English- 105, Section: 09 MS. Maleka Sarwar October 14, 2012 Art is a natural talent and should be well expressed without any disruption because if any rules or restrictions are imposed on artists and intellectuals then they will not be able to express their true talent. Take songwriter for instance, if any restrictions of not using certain words in lyrics are enforced on him then he might find in showing his real ingenuity. This is because, creativity and flair are considered to be songwriter's real talents and any confinement in any of these, would hinder his overall performance. My view is that they should have total freedom of expression because they have right to express their opinions, it sources of inspiration and they have a plenty of merits that can be good for society. First of all, unarguably, each citizen in society has the right to express their own opinions, known as the freedom of speech.
I made this choice because for me music has always been a great thing to turn to when things became rough, my favourite songs are the ones that I can relate to, music is something that always stayed the same even though everything else in my life was completely changing. My main goals and hopes are to tell people about the positive effects of music on our body, health, emotions and society; try to prove that the media is wrong for blaming music for violence in today's world and get to know more about my topic. In general, music can be considered to be the six elements : rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, dynamics and form. Music is also used to help people, for example music therapy. But in our modern world, music means different things to different people.
They were singing about war, drugs, and love instead of war. There lyrics were from the heart of these incredible artists. It provoked feelings of rage for the government, and love for one another. The rock and roll movement began out of enclosed energy that had to be released in a positive manner. It had very pure, honest intentions.
Maybe it’s just me and a few other people that view music not as a tool or commodity, but as something much more. I view music as an expression of someone’s soul and thinking. My love for music comes second to the love that I have for my mom and I would die for my mom. I love the way music powerfully conveys most of our human emotions. It’s the world’s universal language; it defies all boundaries of race, religion, creed, or sect.
The cause of my paper is music and the effect would be how people relate to it. The effects of how people take music is very large ranged but I think the in general reason for this effect would be because it allows people to feel things they want to. Music is a universal type of entertainment; even though different places in the world have different languages and music types they all have the same want for music. Even in underdeveloped countries where there isn’t much entertainment they still have music if they have to create it themselves. Some countries use music for religious beliefs, such as chants or praise.
