In the novel Shade’s Children by Garth Nix, a strong representation of friendship is demonstrated. In the book, a small boy named Gold-Eye has run away from his base camp once he had turned fifteen, which was just around the time of the change. The reason he was nicknamed Gold-Eye was because the change has placed an effect on his eyes, making them into a gold color. While his eyes are gold, they also have a special power. What he refers to as the “soon to be now”, meaning he can see into the future.…
In this source, Censorship, the author, Bradley Steffens, provides an overview of censorship and its effects on a community. This book gives the history about censorship, explains the First and Fourth Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, and insightfully sheds light on how freedom of speech and freedom of the press protect Americans against censorship.

It is common for minors - understood as children under the age of 18 - to wish to be adults who can make their own rules and decisions, and to hold the perceived unrestrained freedom adults possess. This restraint and lack of freedom felt by minors, particularly teenagers, stems from the need for children to be parented and guided - a concept children and teens do not always grasp in the time of their youth. Yet one aspect of this “teen-angst” does ring true; minors do not always have the same rights and freedoms as adults. However, according to a history of court cases, First Amendments rights are ones that all people, inclusive of minors, hold. Therefore, in accordance with precedence set by court cases and the First Amendment, the novel…
Monserrat, I loved what you have talked on your QD.

A complicated word isn't it, ‘censorship’. It comes from the Latin word ‘censere’ which means to give as one's opinion, something nonexistent in an Anthem society. Like many things, a world without censorship can be scary, but a world with too much of it, is a world with no meaning. Look at Anthem, the people who live in that society have no meaning, no life, no importance. Although many people can't imagine comparing the United States to an Anthem society, I believe the United States is an Anthem society because America has huge amounts of censorship when it comes to the press.…
Censorship and Banned Books How would you feel if someone restricted your favorite book? All over the world, every day, a book gets challenged. So many innocent books get banned and never read again because one person thinks the book is bad. I do not agree with people banning books at all. A person’s decision can impact others by changing their thoughts about certain things by banning them.…
Introduction While encompassing censorship is protected by the First Amendment in the United States, content deemed to be offensive can be regulated in terms of accessibility and the nature of presence. Despite America’s increasing liberalism as it moves past gender roles and other forms of conservatism now considered extreme, censorship of content as seemingly non-offensive as Harry Potter books continues to provide rationalizations for formal examinations and actions taken by the judicial system. This discussion and analysis examines such a specific case of censorship, focusing on the Counts v. Cedarville School district case which involved an accusation of witchcraft inclusion in the book and a request for censorship (Simpson 6). The background…
In America today, we see a lot of Television shows that blur or censor specific content, specifically nudity and foul language. In other countries and communities around the world censorship of the human body and language this would seem out of the norm. In Germany, television displays almost no censorship and nationally broadcasts frontal and back nudity without hesitation. Westernized thoughts and idealism of what is proper and acceptable behavior on broadcasted entertainment tends to be divided when it pertains to the human body.…
My field work experience had started in the preschool and where I have done the majority of my observations thus far. In the preschool I was beginning to understand how the different of components of the preschool all had concepts of phycology through all aspects of the classroom. During my time I saw how Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, how students handled new information through various methods, and Vygotsky’s sociocultural perspective are incorporated through different sections of the classroom. The classroom was based that learning should not be a structured experience, but learning should be developed through play and exploration.…
Censorship in today’s society can limit everything we say or do in our everyday lives. One of our rights in the First Amendment is the freedom of speech.

Censorship in today’s society has many good factors and also many bad factors that can limit what information people are provided.…

Ever since people have communicated, people have wanted to encourage some ideas, while suppressing others. This idea eventually became known as censorship, and was applied by groups of even minimal power all over the world. The merit of censorship has been argued from many different sides, for many different reasons. Much of what censorship is, in our modern world, is a strong group of people depriving others of knowledge, to further the first group 's goals. Although some censorship may be beneficial when it comes to taking maturity into consideration, it is a dangerous thing to contemplate.…
