Censorship in television really relies on the person whom is watching either TV or a movie. But in most cases there is an underage kid who cannot watch certain things that should be censored and not all channels and movies are censored. Programs shown over television may contain offensive language or visuals, which may be harmful for the viewers like children. I believe that all programs on television should be censored by the government or a responsible group or even
“Most adults, has some concerns for their children watching those shows. They had a thought that they might influence their kids to do some bad things in life because of the violence in the shows”(Feinstein 2). But that was not the only thing that they might have thought would influence their kids, “comedians were now on television too, and it was big for them because they could say stuff they could not say on the radio” (Adam 2). That did not top their daughters and sons from watching television; it is not like they could watch it all the time. Plus, there were only a few
Television shows like the cartoon “Static Shock” taught its young viewers about things like peer pressure and gangs. While shows like the “Jersey shore” and “Teen Mom” create stereotypes and bias towards the people the supposedly represent. “…will he not have a pain in his eyes which will make him turn away to take refuge in the objects of vision which he can see, and which he will conceive to be in reality clearer than the things which are now being shown to him. ?” (Socrates 1) This quote is basically saying that people are afraid to go against the mold and be like everyone else and sacrifice their beliefs and quiet the voice than to
If the parents cannot control what there kids watch then don’t let them watch television when they are not there. The only merit I can think of is that if you watch something violent then it scares the hell out of you and you really don’t want to do what scared the hell out of you. Formulate a
This has made women to be illiterate as the men acquire the best education. The Kosgei 2 reason they are doing this is because the belief women are inferior over the men and should not have anything good. Although United Nations has discouraged such culture it is still gaining popularity in many countries around the world. Such cultures make women to be slaves of men and deny them freedom of education. Some religion in the society has been unable to move with the time, they reject modern education claiming that it is a threat to their beliefs and the way of life.Consequently,the children of such house hold are also deprived the opportunity to study in modern schools and free their minds from conservative ideologies.
Censorship in America today has gotten way out of hand. When it comes to watching television, reading a book or magazine, listening to music, or buying products, citizens should be able to make these decisions for themselves. Where do we draw the line with censorship? After all we are Americans and we do have rights. Although censorship is needed with issues concerning children, majority of censorship is a violation of our rights because what one person may find offensive and obscene does not necessarily represent that all citizens.
The more information they know about what’s actually going on in the world, they'll become frustrated, stressed, and interested about other subjects. In order to keep the people in the civilization distracted, parlor walls, big television screens, and seashells, earphones that play music, were invented in order to avoid the population from having free will.

Clusters of schemas developed into later concepts” Media reports have an influence on the way children play because news reports that are on the television and in newspapers will make parents not want to let their children leave the house because of what may be happening in surrounding areas. Technology will also restrict children from playing, this could be because of game consoles or television programmes. This is because children are more interested in playing on the latest games and watching their favourite television programmes this will cause obesity in children because they will not be getting the required amount of exercise
Neil Postman believes our society is closer to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World than George Orwell’s 1984 because of our society’s addiction to television. Huxley feared that no one would want to read books and that people would become passive and egotistical. He dreaded the day that the truth would carry little power and pleasure and love would control the public. Huxley’s worries become terrifying realities when one observes how much television has overtaken the American people’s lives. Ridiculous television statistics, youth corruption, and the need for “TV Turnoff Week” prove that television is an evil.
That however has been proven untrue. Some parents are simply looking for reasons to medicate their children so that they do not have to parent them. This is when it becomes increasingly important to make sure that they child in question fits the criteria for what is needed for an AD/HD diagnosis.
