Censorship
Censorship is definitely something our society needs to have. However, the extent to what something is censored can get messy because of the basic rights we have in place. Such as freedom of speech. How far can someone go before their words are censored? The government should censor content if it has the potential to harm someone else, but many people will claim they have the right to say whatever they please. Do we really have total freedom of speech? I believe the answer is no.
Nowadays everyone tries to be politically correct and for that, I think our society is overly sensitive. Someone is going to be offended no matter how hard you try to keep an individual’s feelings in mind. Our society is always looking for something to exploit another person, no matter if it is true or not. Personally, I think false information should be the number one thing that is censored because it has the potential to cause the most harm to someone. If the people are fed false information and believe it the whole country could go crazy. Technology and social media just fuel the fire, making false information more believable and fabricating material. Anyone can photoshop a picture, or take multiple recordings of someone’s voice in order to make it seem like they are saying something inappropriate/offensive, deceiving their viewers. Therefore, we as educated individuals in our society have to question everything we come in contact with and think four ourselves.
