Home: srivastavankur | Original Message | Reply | Subject: Re: GMAT AWA / AWM : Analysis of Issue Topic 1 - Censor / censorship of televisi | Accoring to me Censorship of offensive content, language and behaviour by a
regulating body is perhaps necessary. I would like to present my view not by
a mere statement but rather by an analogy. In a democratic form of
government one might argue that the freedom of speech is the fundamental
right to any person. Well i would say that this statement might be
theoritically correct but practically it is not. Consider a classroom full
of children. Do we expect them to be quiet in the absence of a teacher. I
guess not; but yes when a teacher enters the classroom he/she brings a
necessary amount of discipline in the class which is infact enjoyed by all.
One might say that the comparison between a child and an adult is
fundamentally flawed, but to this my answer would be that when we look into
the real picture we find that the very subject that we are talking about
i.e. obscene behaviour and language is much more prevalent among adults than
it is among children.
Hence it do calls for a necessary governing body which maintains proper
discipline among people.
But, over here i would also like to mention that the regulatory body should
be wise enough not to subside others' thoughts for some self interests.
Hence with a proper choice of a regulating body we can see a better place to
live.

the radio and t.v programs is interesting one. According to me,on one
hand,Censorship of offensive content, language and behavior by radio and
television programs should be necessary.on the other hand, its role should
be limited.I would like to present my view with personal observations and
some times personal experiences.
Radio and T.V programs are now-a-days part of life in society.people
learn most of the things from entertainment media. if such media uses a
offensive language then people use to learn it.the media should be a thing
to teach ethics along with entertainment.Grade3 student,for example, speak
lengthy dialogs,songs by observing from entertainment media once or
twice.when the same is teched by a teacher the student cannot get
immediately.media has that much influence on people.so programs conducted in
the radio and television are to be censored to prevent the society from one
of the adverse effects of media.government need to take responsibility.
Any country is united of different nations, religions and cultures.
if a program is criticize one culture or one religion, then there will be
rival between one and other religions people.in my experience, when i was in
10+2, a television conducted a program " whose religion is great". that
debate leads to storm in the society and there were approximately 250 people
died in the war between the two religions.so media should be controlled by
government or higher bodies to prevent such piece in the society.
the role of government in censorship is to be justifiable. in my
opinion,regulatory authorities should not attack the freedom of the media to
bring out the facts ,that have to reach by the common people, like scam by
government officials and adverse government policies effect the people.when
the government and higher authorities conduct the censorship perfectly we
can see a better world ever we seen.
