Banned books are books that have been banned for certain reasons that may argue against a certain group of people’s beliefs. Books around the world should not be banned because you can learn from what the book tells you. I read My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult, which was a very informative book that gave me a lot of information that I could hold on to. My banned book should not be banned because I learned a lot and it was a great story about a cancer patient and her family. There are multiple…

claim, the author refers to an incident in Wettuckett, Ohio where an increase in students cutting class and a decrease in students attending college dropped occurred after books such as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn were introduced into the school library. However, the author failed to cite the source where he pulled this example from. For all we know, he could have made up the story himself. Even if the incidence in Ohio was true, the author makes an ill-logical assumption that the student's…

A white scalloped shelf in the corner for as long as I can remember holds all the books I’ve ever read. From books I learned to read with to the ones my mom has tried to get me to read for years. Over the past fourteen years my taste in books has evolved from Daisy Meadows fairy stories, to young adult books, to ones with more serious and realistic topics. Ever since I read my first Dr. Seuss book aloud in class, I have loved reading. I would spend hours in my room reading then march downstairs…

If I think back far enough, I can still picture it perfectly. I remember sitting quietly in the library during first grade, scary “chapter” books surrounding me. Overwhelming me as I tried to read them even though my young brain wouldn't cooperate, just wanting to discover. Seeing me struggle, my teacher Mrs. Blankenship (I still remember her well) came and sat with me on the small, multicolored beanbags. Not only do teachers such as the one I had influence us as a child, they are an important…

Secondhand smoke. Everyone has the right to breathe clean air. Each year 88 million nonsmokers are exposed to secondhand smoke according to the CDC. Children shouldn’t have to go out in public and breathe in nicotine filled air just because smokers can’t go without their fix. Smoking shouldn’t be permitted in public areas. During the eighteenth century cigarettes were first invented. Smoking became an all time high when the automatic roller was invented. Cigarette production was faster than…

that dictate your structured life are chosen by the individual who wishes not to be constrained, to an extent, in his private life. The government is an institution that is used to protect and promote private happiness. Public and private interest are different in that the public interest is a shared belief by all citizens where each can purse and enjoy happiness only by going beyond the private self. A value in which competing identities create possibilities of establishing a collective…

Should Scary Stories 3 be banned? The book that I read was "Scary Stories 3 More Tales To Chill Your Bones" by Alvin Schwartz. My book was about many different stories of gruels, creatures, and ghost. Many people think it should be banned, because its gruesome, the violence, and the profanity. I think it should be banned. Depending on your religion it could possibly offend you. My first reason the book is banned is the profanity. They do talk a little more advanced for this age…

It is just rehearsed by a couple of individuals from the general public. Despite the fact that, a general public can be termed as being degenerate and apparently grasping defilement, this speculation is in disapproval of a few individuals from the general public who loathe debasement and never profit by it. Despite the fact that, a few social orders have customs of the advantageous trade of prizes for administrations…

that public space is the only avenue in which marginalized groups can represent themselves as a part of the public, and that this makes access to public space essential for their representation in democratic politics. By the surprisingly large turnout the IDN movement gained at Yonge and Dundas square it seems that the movement has opened up an opportunity for Indigenous individuals but also an emotional valve for everyday Canadians to get involved, and this poses as an example that public…

Banned Animal Farm. Animal Farm has been banned in loads of countries for the same reasons and sometimes it’s a different reason. Why have they been banned? Why have countries like North Korea, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and the United Arab Emirates banned this book about animals who revolt against the farmers, but fall into a corrupt leadership. Why ban a book that is read by children in the U.S.A and others? A book can be harmless on the outside, but can be dangerous on the inside. Animal Farm has…
