Censorship: Why education is needed The book Fahrenheit 451 is based on a censorship society which means that the government rules what the community does.

Fahrenheit 451 Research Paper Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 materializes a world where censorship is so strong, it influenced the near- disintegration of domesticity, the banning of books and other pieces of literature, and the absence of memory of a time where books and historically accurate facts were not so “covered up.” Domesticity went into a strong decline after literature was illegalized. People began to lose their moral values. They took up violent forms of entertainment, such as running over animals and even fellow humans, indiscriminately, with their jet cars. Mildred and her friends watched bloody cartoons of white clowns killing one another.…
