Restrict communication

I disagree with this quote I think we are all allowed to say our feelings and to communicate with others information that we want to share or just to express our feelings, with no reason to some one to tell us we can’t do it.

I do agree with this because even though some type of censorship is about power and hurts people, when it’s used for good I it makes good changes

Military Censorship

I agree on this type of censorship because its when the government eliminates words from letters in tv and newscasts about the military’s location or strategy during a war, but i think they shudent read the letters if there are not sent to them.

I agree with this quote because censorship can help to the society by protecting people from violent treats and to not give facts from the military to enemies. However, there are also many downsides to these kinds of restrictions to communication.

I have never been censored but i think it most feel bad to be censored because you can't express what you think, your ideas and your beliefs.

-I agree that it is unfair for the government to censor at discretion what is said in the media, since it has the power to restrict the dissemination of any idea that may harm the government and not for the common good.

i agrre with Censorship does have some benefits. It can protect people from slander7 or violent threats. It can strengthen national security by keeping information away from enemies. because there are soethings that are too dangerous for the world to know

I agree that censorship has its benefits. However it is important to know that there are some censorships that can make someone not able to say what they think about a topic for example the religion, I disagree with this censorship because i don't think having other beliefs can affect other peoples opinion. Even though I disagree on that one, I have to say that some censorships keep peace and order in countries, like when they "beep" the offensive words on TV or a military's location because they keep in those cases the people who watch TV calmed and not violent, and the military people to be unharmed during a strategy or a war.

RELIGIOUS CENSORSHIP -Barbara Gomez

"religion in a country does not allow people from other religions to share their beliefs. "

I agree that it unfair that some people couldn't share their beliefs and everyone has the right to share their beliefs. Though this case usually happens when the dominitant religion is tied to the government.
