I believe proper media censorship is essential in modern society, especially in a country without highly developed economy. Generally, media is involved with television, newspapers and internet. Decades ago, media was quite easy to be controlled because information transformation was dominated by the government. Nowadays, thanks to the powerful internet, folks are able to access current affairs, and can share brilliant ideas. However, many governments, including democracy governments block some information. Arguments on this issue have never come to an end.
I do not think those so called sensitive information endangers our society, but internet can be used as an evil tool. For example, a terrorist may send deceptive news saying that government is abusing a particular race’s human right, and call for violent protest. Thus, a sequence of crimes may happen, bringing about panic. In this kind of situation, blocking the internet becomes a compulsory option. Moreover, some countries like China, need to guarantee society steady in order to develop economy, so proper censorship are required.
We have to admit that people like Chinese have the right to enjoy surfing the internet freely, but the basis of personal happiness is established on his homeland’s prosperity. For this reason, a country is supposed to keep steady and keep moving. The easiest way is to remove some negative information. So I am for proper media censorship.
I agree with you. We can never judge something from the surface, our government censor the information just to make sure the safety of our whole country. Proper media consership is essential, especially in big countries.
ReplyDeletei quite agree with you, though because of our nature we want to know everything about the world, too much information would make us tend to abusing those sources,so censorship is actually quire necessary.and the extend of the contol is something that we all need to pay attention to
ReplyDeleteThere must be some form of monitoring and control over the availability and distribution of information. The government has the right to decide what constitutes sensitive information in the interest of its citizens. Not many people have the maturity to analyse the information which they receive.
ReplyDeleteI think you are a little off point because you put this sentence in the bigining :"especially in a country without highly developed economy. "
ReplyDeleteI can understand that you mean China,but I think here you should put up with a more specific delimition so that your reader can have a clearer view of your blog.
Consindering the special environment of China ,I also stand for proper media censorship,because I think since the population of China is so large ,it is a useful for government to take serious of the media in order to protect people.
