Cursing is one thing that I see in school almost all the time, and at home when my 10yr old cousin starts cursing. Nevertheless, cursing has lost their value because everyone is cursing now, even young children because they watch youtube and the parents are ignorant to put on child-safety locks on their electronic devices. No matter how hard the parent may try to stop the cursing, it will still happen because a child goes to public school and those schools are the main reason for children to curse at a young age. Most children are brought up to never curse in front of their parents, and to never say it in front of anyone of whom you respect. Most children, like the writer of this essay, curse as soon as they enter Middle School because when …show more content…
Once a child has started to curse, they have the choice of going down the path of continuing to curse or the path of stopping once in awhile. When that child hears in the media, whether it be television, the music that the child listens to, or on their phones, it’s completely harmless because they know their is nothing that can be done to stop it. When a baby/ ten year old hears it on the media, however, they can actually remember the word, because their minds are still being made, and they can remember the words a lot. They then tend to repeat the words, especially if someone they know has said it, and that’s when the cursing media becomes bad. It’s also bad, considering, the fact that if the parents finds out, the parent will blame the media from which the child heard it, and might do things about it, or nothing at all. Cursing is a part of life, no matter what you do, there is eventually nothing that can be done. Should the NYT be able to publish curse words? I don’t care, I think yes because not doing it twould be a violation of Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Speech. Also, when someone curses in a paper, that’s going to get more people to read it, and become more trustworthy because they are recording the bad things in life, not sugarcoating

    Explicit language for some parents is a big no-no. They do not want their child to listen to, hear, or read explicit language. Many do not want their child to be “tainted” by the language because along with the idea of cursing or explicit language is the idea of rebelling. This book’s explicit language is way beyond words. Everyone is insulting and judging everyone, it gives off the vibe of bullying, which is not a good idea to give to young adults and pre-teens.…

    Since the 1960s, high school administrators have debated whether or not to ban the novel, The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. This book has countless instances of profanity and rebellious behavior, all of which, high schoolers are exposed to on a daily basis. For that reason, high schools should not ban The Catcher in the Rye despite its obscene and profane content. High schoolers are mature enough to read inappropriate content without following a negative path. The Catcher in the Rye does, in fact, show alcohol abuse and profane language, but this does not mean that every person reading it will start to abuse alcohol and use foul language.…

    Timothy jay, professor of psychology at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, performed a study on the science of swearing, and he talked about the age children learn to swear. In the article, Professor Jay wrote, “swearing emerges by age two and becomes adult-like by ages 11 or 12. By the time children enter school, they have a working vocabulary of 30-40 offensive words,”. This shows that parents don’t need to worry about protecting their teenage child from profanity, because odds are the child already has heard this type of language countless times, so reading it in a book will not affect them a lot. Professor Jay also mentions that most young adults claimed their swearing vocabulary was learned from listening to their parents, peers, and siblings.…

    Many people like it and others don’t, so should it be censored because of Holden and Salinger’s style? Many critics would want the book to be censored because of it influencing teenagers.

    The lecture on linguistic violence given by Dr. William Gay was very insightful to say the least. When Dr. Gay began his lecture, he invited the audience to question the truthfulness or lack thereof in the common phrase taught to children “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”, and how this phrase relates to the social ideology of our culture. This phrase implies that people should not be upset by or susceptible to verbal or written abuse brought upon them by others. I agree with Dr. Gay that this phrase is not the solution to the problems that many youth and adults are facing with bullying, verbal abuse, psychological abuse, et cetera brought on by this covert form of violence. While I agree that having the metaphorical…
