Kaufman, Ron. 2004. 21 Apr 2009 . 17. tv censorship is adults viewing what children are watching on tv, and how it affects them. 18. by censoring those two words in a speech, it would indicate that gays and lesbians are considered less than any other group of people. 19. television is censored because of: cursing, violence, nudity, obscenities, etc. 20. on MTV the word bitch is not censored out. 21. most people would agree that not all media texts are suitable for all audiences. 22. pornographic images are being put on tv networks, allowing little children to to watch. 23. most agree that FREEDOM OF SPEECH is a basic human right, and should not be censored through a nation called "free" 24. filmmakers and writers, etc, should have the right to say what they think, without the fear of being censured. 25. there are debates on whether this is against your first amendment. 26.

31. do you think that zapping out of tv violence and such is a bad idea? 32. producers have the right to make violent shows, movies, commericals, ads, etc. 33. pigs with cell phones, no condoms commercial. 34. censorship and the ideology supporting it go back to ancient times. 35. the 1st amendment, forbids congress from enacting laws that would regulate speech or press before publication or punish after publication 36. in some cases, that is not always proper; for example a person has no right to shout “fire!” in a crowded theater when there is no fire. 37. the courts ruled that “dirty words” in a "sincere and honest book" did not make the book “dirty.” 38. films are given ratings as follows: G (general audiences), PG (parental guidance advised), PG-13 (may not be suitable for preteens), R (persons under age 17 not admitted unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian), and NC-17 (persons under age 17 not admitted; replaced the X rating in 1990). 39. some commentators complain that the age-based ratings are too vague. 40. in 1997 the television industry began implementing a new voluntary rating system based on both age appropriateness and specific program content. 41. as of january 2000, all sets sold in the U.S. with screens of 13 inches or larger were required to contain the V-Chip. 42. the entertainment software industry has adopted a rating standard that employs both age-based and content-based criteria, with specific warnings covering such elements as graphic violence, strong sexual content, and strong hate speech. 43. it can be hard for parents to monitor what their children are watching. 44. the v-chip electronically reads television program ratings and allows parents to block programs they believe are unsuitable for their children 45. the FCC may soon start censoring "violent" and "graphic" programming. 46. a recent survey shows 75% of americans think that parents, not the government, should decide what their kids see on tv. 47. the fbi's crime statistics show violent crime in america was down over 17%. 48. more than 85% of households currently subscribe to either cable or satellite television services. 49. current concerns for literacy and critical thinking in education may actually increase incidents of censorship. 50. we live in a society in which many national or local legal systems impose particular, often very narrow, restrictions on access to information. 51. often our concerns with these legal restrictions detract attention from larger social, economic, and political restrictions. 52. professionals should think very carefully about accepting positions in communities which obviously hold values in conflict with their own. 53. the moral limits on content stem from what might be viewed as the social and cultural taboos of specific social groups, particularly concerning religious and sexual topics.

54. conceptions about the viewing audience and the limits of censorship changed drastically during the early 1970s. 55. the inclusion of hispanics, african-americans, and gays and lesbians in programming was preferable to their near invisibility during the previous two decades. 65. european countries consider exposure to nudity and sex to be less objectionable than abusive language or violence. 66.. on december 10th 2003, fox failed to bleep the f-word and the s-word during the billboard music awards. 67. children spend more time watching television than in any other activity except sleep. 68.) 54% of kids have a tv in their bedroom. 69.) 44% of kids say they watch something different when they're alone than with their parents. 70.) 62% of people say that sex on tv shows and movies influences kids to have sex when they are too young. 71.) 77% of perople say there is too much sex before marriage on television. 72.) 46% of high school students in the united states have had sexual intercourse. 73. within the past ten years, courts and legislatures have found these arguments so persuasive that censorship is now a relative rarity in most states. 74. a theatrical director might find someone willing to commit suicide on the stage. 75. pornography's whole purpose, it seems to me, is to treat human beings obscenely, to deprive them of their specifically human dimension. 76. it seems to me that the cultural market in the united states today is awash in dirty books, dirty movies, dirty theater. 77. if you care for the quality of life in our american democracy, then you have to be for censorship. 78. the argument for censorship parity is powerful. 79. congress doesn't have that right to censor pay tv today thanks to the existence of the first amendment and america's strong tradition of freedom of speech and expression. 80. subscription-based media providers have not faced such regulatory scrutiny in the past because they are not licensed by the fcc.
