Obscenity

“You are pretty f*****g awesome. Keep that s**t up.” This line has been censored, because it contained several inappropriate words. This kind of censorship is considered completely fine, but does it get it’s point across anymore?

Censorship is meant to remove certain part of novels that are considered offensive, immoral, harmful language, while suppressing the freedom of expression of writers, historians, and readers as well. I believe that censorship prevents people from accessing educational information, literary ideas, environmental and political debates, which in return inhibits communication and restrict written and oral expression. Censorship takes away the freedom to express ourselves as we see fit (first basic…

A banned or challenged book tends to be disputed and unwanted in public places. When a book is banned from schools or even a whole state it means that it contains things such as sexual explicitness, offensive language, political incorrectness, violence, views contrary to the state or are seen threatening in some way (Gale 1).The book Lolita written by Vladimir Nabokov was banned in 1955 in France and Australia for its controversial content (Amy 4).

speak out against injustice where we see it, and fight for equality in areas where it may be lacking. An example of people using it to protect freedoms in our modern times is the fight against SOPA.
