Censorship is a reality in almost every creative field such as book publishing, music and movie release and so on. While it is often said that censorship is essential to avoid chaos and disorder, its existence is also claimed to be the most obvious example of intolerance in our society today.
What do you think?
Today it is possible to propagate ideas far more easily and widely because of the development of technologies. To avoid chaos and disorder in society many people believe that censorship should be employed. On the other hand, the attempt to limit distributions of ideas is claimed to be the most argument is specious and shallow and censorship is an imposition of one group's authority over another.
The greatest danger with censorship is that it destroys the vitality of an open society and gags creativity. Moreover, censorship violates the rights to express and receive ideas. We have the rights to read any book we want and educate ourselves; we have the rights to listen to music and watch movies for entertainment. However, like ancient dictators who would burn books because they did not like them and force people to believe what they did, today's censor bodies act as if to dictate what is good for us.
