In some countries TV radio pgms are censored carefully for offensive language or behavior. In other countries there is little or no censorship. According to you should there be censorship?

Censorship instantly gives us a thought of suppression!! In particular Television and radio censorship is control over broadcasting and propagation of offensive, immoral, obscene material and information in the society. Although there are countries in Asian, African continent which value their customs and religions have censorship on television and Radio, there are many European countries where censorship doesn’t exits.

Firstly options of “childlock or channel Block” in “Idiot Boxes” or radio rules out the necessity of censorship. Moreover Parents are always there to censor their children of what they can watch and listen. But What?? about the Adults who are actually like X-rated material and the ones who like to entertain themselves by watching thrills of fights and Bloodshed. Most of college students and other youngsters like watching horror Movies like Mirrors, Twilight Saga and serials like Vampire Diaries. Moreover if a person desires of something he can access it by many other sources, the Internet being one. So there is no point in censoring of radio and TV.

Secondly there have been cases in developing countries like India, where a film supposed to get PG17 had procured U rating and movie which was actually meant for children was censored as PG17. Moreover TV and Radio Broadcasting Committee is merely a “group of people” its unfair if we allow them to decide about our wish. Moreover a U/A rated movie may contain a torture, murder or ethnic prosecution, we come across Adult committing a murder. Who is to say that a “Carefully censored” movie can stop crimes?

Moreover it’s the perception of an individual of what’s being good and bad for him. A radio or TV show may seem vulgar or offensive to one person at the same time it may be a beautiful act or entertainment for some other. Even if there are some people who feel certain broadcasting offensive they can always switch over to their choice and stop watching material which they perceive as “offensive”. So in the modern world, where freedom is of outmost importance, how can government decide about our desire?

Although there are some incidences around the world of people imitating Crimes and the children waiting for “their” Super hero’s help, Censorship is not the only way to prevent these. I mean the government must not put more burden on the Payers and decide what we can watch and Listen. If a “sincere and honest” book has some “dirty words” you cannot ban the entire book. Similarly you cannot censor all broadcasting for little offensive material seeping into some popular and good radio and TV shows. Thus in my opinion there should be no censorship…!!
