Cencorship in the 21st Century. Do we need it?
Censorship (uncountable noun): the banning, suppression or prohibition of speech, writing or images that are deemed obscene, politically or religiously "unacceptable", or a threat to security. It can be applied to (parts of) articles, books, films, art, letters, news, internet or virtually any form of communication. Censorship may be carried out by government, by private organizations or even by individuals.
– Totalitarian states are characterised by strict censorship laws.
- Social media sites sometimes subject their own users to censorship.
What do you think about censorship? Good or bad?
Necessary sometimes, always or never?
Responding to censorship, I think censorship is good and necessary and always done, because censorship is to filter something, whether it is positive or negative, it depends on what things will be censored. If something changes a good way of life for the worse then we definitely need to censor it. Nowadays a lot of content or whatever that is obscene has been seen by many children which is very damaging day by day, so things like that that cause harm to humans, criminals can happen because of that, therefore if there is any Anything that smells in a negative direction must be censored. Everyone has the right to do whatever he wants to do, but there are certain limits to the extent to which he can do what he wants to do.
BalasHapusI agree censorship is necessary, because censorship filters out anything negative, depending on what is being censored. If something changes a good way of life for the worse it is absolutely necessary to censor it. Nowadays there is a lot of pornographic content or things that can be seen by many children and are very damaging from day to day, so things like that that harm humans can lead to crime. therefore, therefore if something smells in a negative direction it should be censored.
HapusBut there was bad things like action film that that should not be censored instead it was censored. So what should we do to deal with it?
Hapus
BalasHapusI agree with the censorship, because with this censorship it will guard against the bad influences of the outside world. Moreover, those who use social media are not all adults, but also minors. for example, videos that are not worth watching for minors, it will be affected by them, so this censorship is done
In my opinion censorship needs to be done because censorship can make sensitive things that should not be seen by everyone can be controlled, for example removing material that is considered disturbing or morally dubious. Pornography, for example, is often censored for this reason, particularly child pornography, which is legally prohibited in most countries. also depends on what will be censored. If something changes a good way of life for the worse then we definitely need to censor it. because it can lead to crime.
BalasHapusIt is very clear that we need censorship today, I think censorship is very important to be carried out by the government, by private organizations or even by individuals in the Indonesian state, because if the context contains elements such as sexual, violence, drugs, gambling, and mystical things it is very dangerous if it is not censored because it can affect someone who sees or reads these contexts, and it is very dangerous if minors see it. But excessive censorship that is not well targeted can also breed negative stigma. For example, censorship on swimming athletes, actually diverts substantive things and can cause sexual stigma on swimwear and related athletes. Likewise, sensors on animal body parts give the impression of being irrational and strange.
BalasHapusDespite the various pros and cons, the presence of censorship only reduces content that is considered explicitly negative. Parents still have the obligation to provide the right narrative so that children do not fall into curiosity and are able to understand the context of a work. Meanwhile, adults must be wiser in understanding the context and substance of a work.
In my opinion, censorship is good and necessary. Because if the context contains negative elements if it is not censored it can affect someone who sees or reads the context, and is very dangerous if minors see it.
BalasHapusWhat kind of negative elements do you means? Can you give an example?
HapusThe negative elements I mean are sexual, violence, drugs, and so on.
HapusYa saya juga sangat setuju diadakannya penyensoran seperti pendapat teman-teman yg lain Supaya mental seseorang tidak terganggu dan banyak sekali manfaat lainnya. Dampak negatifnya salah satunya mungkin seseorang akan penasaran dan akan mempengaruhi seseorang jika melihat hal yg tidak baik.
BalasHapusPeople think in this era we need all the bad things must be censored.
BalasHapusActually I agree with people said that "we need censorship" but i disagree with people who said always need it.
For example, in Indonesia censorship was sometimes used for things that didnt need to be censored. Such an exaggeration was very disturbing to those who see or hear it.
Government should know which ones should be censored and which one shouldn't.
Yes, I agree with you, there should be an age limit when it comes to censorship, and the government shouldn't overdo it in terms of censorship either.
Hapus
