Censorship blocks certain content from being seen or heard. It aims to protect audiences, especially children, from obscene, harmful, or offensive material. However, censorship also limits freedom of expression and access to information. While it may protect some groups, censorship can be misused and curb creativity. Ultimately, many argue parents, not governments, should decide what content is appropriate for children. A balance must be found between protection and freedom.
This document discusses censorship and whether it is a good or bad idea. It provides examples of how censorship is used to protect children and religious views by restricting inappropriate content. However, censorship can also be seen as a bad idea as it limits freedom of speech and expression. The effects of media consumption are also debated, with some arguing that violent games and videos can increase aggressive behavior in children and others believing that media does not directly cause harm. The document discusses how censorship aims to prevent psychological harm but can also harm freedom. Overall it examines the complex debate around censorship and both the potential benefits and drawbacks.
This document discusses the debate around censorship and its potential benefits and drawbacks. It notes that censorship aims to protect individuals like children from inappropriate or harmful content. However, censorship may also infringe on privacy and freedom of expression. The effects of media consumption are also debated, with some arguing it can influence behaviors while others say direct effects are unclear. The document examines different views around what content should and should not be censored, as well as debates around who should make decisions about what children access.
The document discusses the arguments for and against censorship. It notes that censorship is defined as the suppression of speech or communication deemed objectionable by a controlling body. While censorship may protect children and society from harmful content, it can also give certain groups like government or religion too much power over what information is available and foster dictatorships. The document concludes that censorship should be limited and power over it passed to a non-government body intended only to protect society rather than any political agenda.
Censorship aims to protect children and vulnerable groups by restricting certain content but can also limit information and opinions. The essay discusses censorship in different contexts. Censorship of inappropriate internet content and media is generally supported to shield children, but banning books for adults is not agreed with. Censorship in education that only teaches one view is also problematic. Overall censorship is a complex issue with arguments on both sides.
Censorship is a complex issue with reasonable arguments on both sides. While censorship can protect young children from explicit materials, it may also infringe on individuals' human rights. Different forms of media like films, books, and video games may need to be censored to different degrees due to their different impacts. For example, films and video games that depict violence in a realistic way could influence behavior more than written words alone. Overall, there is no clear consensus on whether and how heavily different forms of media should be censored.
The document discusses arguments for and against censorship in various media such as films, television, video games, books, and the internet. It provides examples of instances where media exposure was blamed for violent acts. The author believes censorship is important to protect children but should allow some freedom of expression. Parents and government should provide guidelines but allow flexibility. While books pose less risk than visual media, all forms could influence people negatively depending on content and individual circumstances.
The document discusses the issue of censorship and whether it is a good or bad idea. It provides arguments on both sides of the debate. On one hand, censorship is argued to be a good idea as it protects young children from viewing explicit materials. However, others argue that censorship prevents human rights and freedom of access to information. The document discusses censorship across different media like films, books, the internet and gives examples of content that has been banned or censored in different countries. It debates whether certain platforms should face more censorship than others and if censorship should be applied equally across all media types.
The document discusses the complex issue of censorship and whether it should exist. It acknowledges that censorship is meant to suppress or alter media content that may cause offense, but notes that what qualifies as offensive is unclear. The document weighs the arguments for and against censorship, examining how it is applied differently based on the media platform and considering cases where content has been censored from television shows, books, and advertising due to being deemed objectionable or a bad influence on children. It concludes that finding a balance with some degree of censorship is important, as extremes of too much or too little censorship can both be problematic for a population with varying views.

Censorship of media is debated, as it aims to protect audiences but can restrict freedom. Television censorship focuses on protecting children from adult content by enforcing watersheds after 9PM. Breaching watershed rules can result in fines. Advertising is also regulated to prevent exploiting children's susceptibility. Books are sometimes censored for reasons like preventing crime inspiration, though banning books rarely stops determined criminals and restricts ideas. Internet censorship is controversial as it can justifyably block pornography or terrorism but also oppressively limit political ideas or free speech. Overall censorship aims to protect but must avoid going too far in restricting freedoms.

However, it also gives examples where censorship is not necessary, such as banning books aimed at adult audiences. The document concludes that while censorship can be good for blocking harmful content like pornography or violence online, it should not be used to limit access to information or theories for educational purposes.
The document discusses various topics around censorship and censorship debates. It presents arguments for and against censorship of different media such as films, video games, books, and news/government information. It also discusses who should decide what content is censored, the influence of advertising including on children, and whether people should be granted gagging orders to prevent certain information about them being reported by the press.
The document discusses censorship and whether it should be banned. It considers different views on censorship of books, TV shows, films and video games. While censorship aims to protect people, it can be harmful by altering creative works or implying that certain groups or topics should be hidden. The document concludes that censorship should be banned, as consumers can make their own choices about what media to engage with, and there are already systems like ratings and watersheds to help guide viewing. Overall, censorship claims to protect but ultimately limits free expression and the individual's right to choose.
The document discusses different definitions and types of censorship. It explains that censorship is the suppression of words, images, and ideas that may be considered offensive. It can apply to various media like books, films, art, and broadcasts. Censorship is enacted not only by governments but also by groups, individuals, and organizations. The document explores how censorship occurs and why different entities may feel compelled to censor certain topics or materials.
The document contains research and planning for a graphic novel adaptation of Jack and the Beanstalk with a modern twist. It includes exploring layouts, fonts, and content from existing graphic novels for both children and adults. Draft scripts are presented with different dialogue options incorporating more modern language. The proposal outlines plans to create a 4-page graphic novel using photographs edited to look like comic book panels telling the story with humor, such as the giant having an afro. The target audience is identified as 10-15 year olds to make the classic tale appealing again through a twist while keeping the overall story. Schools are identified as a way to market the product to this age group.

Piers Morgan has long been accused of involvement in phone hacking as the former editor of British tabloids Daily Mirror and News of the World. Multiple witnesses have testified that Morgan outlined phone hacking techniques and boasted of using them to source stories. While Morgan denies any involvement, evidence suggests widespread phone hacking occurred at the newspapers during his time as editor. The police investigations into Morgan have been ongoing for years, and more victims are continuing to come forward, yet he still maintains his innocence despite clear contradictions in his own accounts.

The document provides initial ideas and concepts for the design of an energy drink advertising campaign. The first idea, called qWake, uses an earthquake theme to convey that not purchasing the drink will result in a natural disaster. A mock-up design is created featuring a bike jumping over cracks in the ground. Additional ideas target health-conscious consumers with a drink called Improvise or athletes with Limitless. Mood boards and mind maps are used to explore themes, target audiences, and branding elements. Potential slogans, scripts, and product variations are proposed. Font and color scheme options are tested to match different ideas. The final design features layered earthquake imagery and the Richter scale to reinforce the theme while making the drink name stand out
The document provides initial ideas and concepts for the design of five different energy drink products.
Idea 1 is called "qWake" and uses the theme of an earthquake, featuring an image of a bike jumping over cracks in the ground. The target demographic is young male extreme sports enthusiasts.
Idea 2 is called "Improvise" and aims to provide a healthier alternative, targeting health-conscious consumers. The design would use green colors and natural symbols.
Idea 3 is called "Limitless" and targets top athletes, conveying unlimited energy. The design would use bright colors and feature images of athletes using the drink.
Idea 4 is called "Limbo" and targets dark music
The band Glendale is releasing their first album "Illusion is the first of all pleasures" and aims to target an audience aged 23-30 who appreciate folk and rock music. Objectives for the first year include developing the band's image and fan base through album promotion, concerts, and building a reputation. Merchandise like t-shirts and the use of radio, print media, and social media like Facebook and Twitter will be used to promote the band and drive album sales of 2,000 in two months and 40,000 in the first year. The key message is that Glendale produces meaningful music as down-to-earth former farmers who are still connected to their fans.
This document contains a SWOT analysis for a new MP3 player with Spotify integration. The strengths include having a unique product and knowledge of competitors. Weaknesses are a lack of funding and brand power compared to Apple. Opportunities include a growing market and room for expansion. Threats include strong competitors like Apple releasing new products and lack of resources to compete. The analysis examines internal factors like resources and external factors beyond their control like market trends.
Audi focuses its marketing on quality, performance, and luxury targeting middle to higher income individuals. Its advertisements emphasize the vehicle's technology and design without mentioning price. Ford historically focused on price but is shifting to also emphasize quality to appeal to more customers. Both supermarkets ASDA and Marks & Spencer's target different demographics - ASDA focuses solely on low prices to attract cost-conscious customers while Marks & Spencer's stresses quality even if it means higher prices to appeal to image-conscious consumers. Apple emphasizes innovation and quality over price in its marketing to cultivate an exclusive brand image and attract creative customers, unlike HTC which must compete on price due to reputation issues.
The document provides initial ideas and concepts for the design of five different energy drink products.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

1. Task 4)
Is Censorship a good or bad idea?
Censorship blocks something from being read, heard or seen. Censorship is the name for the process or idea
of keeping things like obscene words or graphic images from an audience. This is because they can be seen
as harmful and inconvenient as decided by the government. Censorship can come in many forms from just
editing a tiny piece of text before a book release to banning a full film, as it is believed to cause damage to
those watching it. An example can come from China where 1985 film ‘Back to the future’ has been banned
because the scenes of time travel are believed to be dangerous and not to be shown to prevent anyone from
re-writing history.
There are many forms of censorship in the media. Four main categories of activity are therefore created.
Those are Political; this focuses on people and protecting views human rights, religious and freedom of
expression. The second is social and the blocking of sexual nature, gambling and alcohol. The third is conflict
and security and that of border control and militant groups the last group of censorship is internet tools and
stops people searching on certain sites or services.
The main idea of Censorship is to protect. To protect children, this is done by having age restrictions on
games, films and other media that may be seen for older use. Alsoit is used to protect the religious views.An
example of a film being banned because of it is The Da Vinci Code; this has been banned all together in
Samoa because the Samoa Council of churchesthought it would affect the belief of young people whose faith
was not strong. Prevention of Slander and Libel is also used in the main reasoning why censorship has been
introduced. This is considered to be part of self-Censorship and where people have to be careful what they
write on social networks sites such as Twitter and Facebook as it may cause offense. This is also the same
when publishing media such as Newspapers and magazines and cannot have anything that may damage a
person’s reputation.
It is a bad idea because it does not allow you to see vital information that you may be interested in.
Everyone should be allowed this right and therefore when the government takes this it is only human nature
to want it more. A quote from an artist Ben Shahn can relate to this, ‘’you have not converted man because
you have silenced him’’. This means that a person will still want something even though you have stopped
that from happening.It can be seen as a good idea to have Censorship because it is that information that you
want to see badly that may be something that could cause psychological damage for younger children or
women. For example curiosity may lead a child to type something on the Internet that of a sexual matter and
without censorship in place some material might upset someone of that age. So Censorship is put in place to
restrain people’s expression but to protect them as well.
Censorship however may be seen as a bad idea on the media because it can be used to intrude on people’s
privacy and it could even result in a misuse of the power given to result in personal gain. It is from reasons
like this why creativity from people has stopped because they have to watch what they put down whenever
making or writing something.On the other hand it may be seen as a good idea because for example in World
War 2 Censorship was used to make sure the enemy did not find out important information about the
country. Information such as their location and plans on what they were about to do.
Censorship can be considered to be a bad idea as not only does it stop creativity from people’s work but also
more importantly it compromises freedom of speech. It is this reason why it is considered as similar to a
dictatorship way of thinking because for example in Ancient Rome it was only those of High Authority that
got the chance to speak what they wanted to and many people suffered for trying to. Censorship therefore
does not give equal opportunities to those who want it and people should be allowed the free will to do or
2. see what they want to. Reasons why it can be seen as a good idea is because having something blocked may
keep your work protected and not allow any plagiarism. If there was nothing in place to stop your work
being taken and used as their own then the media industry would be chaotic, however with this in place it
has a small grasp on personal identity and again protects you.
Effects debate
There are many debates on what effect media consumption has on its audience. The Culmination Theory
suggests that exposure to violent video game does not make you violent overnight but does carry a long term
threat of violence, in contrast the Hypodermic Needle model suggests that people will act how they have
been told to, thus meaning having played a violent game such as for example Grand theft auto it would mean
that the person would be violent in real life. An example here of Hypodermic Needle model can be where a
teenager went on a rampage and killed three men, two of them police officers, after months of playing
Grand Theft Auto. This only enhances the more need for Censorship and putting the age limit higher if
needed.
The effects are based around Children, as it is those who are greatly affected by the Censorship, not having
access to certain things on the internet, films or games with age restrictions. People are becoming greatly
worried what the exposure of these are doing to the generation.It is from this where age certification has
come from. Here below are only two of the many age barriers put in place to stop you from purchasing a
game or film if you are under age. This proves that people are affected by the media and things they watch
or play can have serious repercussions on the world we live in. Not everyone is affected by the media
however to prevent it from getting out of hand the age certifications are used as a precaution. The things
people are affected by the media are that of for girls trying to compete with those they see on magazines,
newspapers or on the internet, this can lead to depression and in some severe cases, suicide. The media is a
main cause for self-esteem issues with young children and they often feel pressured into a way of looking or
ding certain actions.
3. Media that should be censored would be that of ones on the internet that could be harmful to the person/
persons viewing it. Such as Young Children, there should be a censorship to keep it safe and protect them
from being speaking to by criminals on chat forums and other social media sites. However still keep some
freedom in what they can do from a young age. On the contrary Media that should never be censored would
be that of films, as it is up to those responsible for the Children to make that decision on whether they are
mature enough to understand what happens, also if people are curious about a film then you should not
stand in their way. Films should never be censored because they are very similar to Books and why should it
be different. Books are not censored even though Children of a young age are more likely to pick up a book
and start reading then sit quietly watching a film for 2 hours.
Also an example of a book that can cause more damage than a film could be that of 50 Shades of Grey and
the controversy that surrounds it. The Book is seen to have many sexual scenes that could disturb a child
however they have not addressed a censorship issue. It is seen as different to that of Video games and Films
because it does not have images or scenes that can look harmful and have a bad influence to the children.
However with schools becoming more advanced Children are starting to read at a much younger age and can
still understand what they are reading therefore it should be a good idea to have Libraries censor all the
books they put on their shelves as it can be just as easy to read something that may cause harm. Having an
age limit on certain books with bad scenes will help put sort of defence in place to prevent Children from
seeing things they were initially curious about. Again if the parents decide the Children are mature enough
then it should be okay for them to read or watch whatever they would like to.
Censorship is not harmful as all. It is the content that it is not showing people that areharmful; they are
believed to be stopping any harm from coming to the citizens. However it can have added on effects to
those who do not agree with such a thing and try to do so anyway. It can harm people psychologically if
looking at the way it prevents freedom of speech however it is seen as to stop harm in ways such as libel,
meaning the intention of censorship is not to harm anyone just the opposite. An example to go further on
the point is that of Guns, It is not Guns that kill people, people holding the guns do. There is a relation here
because Censorship does not harm you;the harmful content has already been put out there on the internet
and other media. And the Guns are already made and the persons choice to use them. The freewill is given
and can be exploited in many countries so precautions are taken to stop people doing or saying what they
want to.
As said through the looking at films and books, it should be the parents or carers of the Children to decide
what should be censored and if they feel that the child is ready to look at the information then they should
decide not the government. Children are very different and have different maturities therefore labelling
them under one category for example Under 15 for a film. It may be seen as a bad idea and could make them
feel like everyone else. This would stop creativity should the children think that they are all part of one
stereotypical category, thus meaning that they would not think on their own and share ideas. If they are
seen to be the same as everyone else then there would be no reason for discussion.
4. Certain ideas should not be banned from the classroom. The Classroom for children is where they will feel is
the only place they can express themselves due to censorship stopping them to do so on many media
surrounding the internet. From an early age they have been prevented from watching certain things they
wanted to or going on sites they want to. Should freedom of speech be disrupted in the classroom then the
children may feel the only place they feel free may be that of in a fantasy world and on video games. This
could cause escapism and other worrying side effects. Escapism being that of where people feeling
depressed or down of what has happened to them they feel they can take their mind off it in the gameor
film world.Examples of topics banned from classrooms are that of religious grounds. In the US and the
religious schools they have banned all talk of Darwin’s theory of evolution and how it goes against their
beliefs of the bible and how the earth was made. It does not want children knowing this as it may lead them
to not believe in God. Creationism has replaced it, the idea that the earth was made exactly how the Bible
said it was. This however has been banned from science curriculum in schools in the UK. This is wrong as it
does not show both sides to an argument and forcing Children to believe and think in a certain way.
Censorship is becoming increasingly popular in classrooms as it prevents things that may harm other
students. However taking it into account Children should have the Free will and right to make their own
decisions have the freedom of speech to say what they think about a matter.
A gagging orderis an order, typically a legal one given by a court or government, restricting information or
comment from being made public, or in some cases, passed onto any unauthorized third party.In 2011 The
Independent found that more than 333 gagging orders protecting the identities of celebrities, children and
private individuals have been granted in the past five years. An example is that of a celebrity that has used a
Gagging order was Ryan Giggs, A professional footballer for Manchester United. He was revealed to put a
‘Super-Injunction’ to prevent all types of media from revealing his identity in a serious allegation, from
Newspapers to Social media such as Twitter. His identity was later revealed through a Scottish Newspaper as
the law does not include Scotland from publishing names. They are used to protect a person just as
Censorship is used. So Gagging orders should be allowed to stop the media from writing harmful things
about a person as they should be able to keep their privacy when needed as it may cause harm to those
involved.
Advertising
The effects of advertising on people can be seen as very influential in this day and age. This is due to so many
adverts being seen on the media we look at. For Children it is much more worrying as they see 40,000
adverts a year through Television, when surfing the Web and other sources of media such as magazines. The
more the types of media people use, the more adverts they will see. This therefore will start to have an
influence on the people psychologically. People will instantly start to buy things they have seen on adverts.
For example seeing an advert for McDonalds will instantly make you feel Hungry and wantto buy one. This
type of control with adverts can be used to make children choose wrong decisions on what they consume.
Products such as junk food, Alcohol and Cigarettes advertised to children at a young age can damage them
for when they enter adulthood.
We are influenced by advertising because why else would Ofcom introduce a ban on junk food adverts on
Television programmes aimed at young children under the age of 16. This proves that it has become clear
the influence media can have. 2006 was a turning point as in relation to McDonalds, the National Child
Measurement Programme looked into the obesity increase of children under the age of 16 since junk food
had been advertised. They have worked with parents and schools to put it right. This alone shows what hold
advertising can have. These rules were cemented to stop anything from being wrongly advertised to children
who know no better. The EU had three main rules companies should follow when promoting their product.
Firstly it cannot directly encourage minors to persuade their parents or others to purchase the goods or
services being advertised, it shall not unreasonably show minors in dangerous situations, and lastly Children’s
programmes may only be interrupted if the scheduled duration is longer than 30 minutes
5. Should we ban Advertising aimed at children? No, Not completely. Children at an early age should start to
realise how the world works and that products need to be promoted. Without the knowledge and guidance
as children they will be dragged into the same pattern of impulse buying due to seeing products televised.
When looking at advertising and what effects it can have on people there are two major companies that
control what is being put. Firstly the Advertising standards authority (ASA) look at all adverts and how they
are shown. Should one not meet the requirements then they will not be allowed to advertise the product.
The company acts as a filter and in some way part of censorship as all adverts are checked. The company
applies codes that must be followed; these codes are written by the committees of adverting practice (CAP).
ASA look through complaints by members of the public whilst CAP concentrates on individual cases.
Since the two companies came about in 1961 they have tried to keep the same standards on all that they
have dealt with. The first commercials came about in 1955 and companies have been put in place control the
content of them. In 1962, CAP established the ASA as the independent adjudicator under the newly created
Code. The Authority was set up to supervise the working of the new self-regulatory system in the public
interest.The codes are as followed. They are split into 4 main categories, those being; HarmCredulity and
Unfair Pressure, Direct Exhortation and Parental Authority and promotion.
To conclude I believe censorship is a bad idea because it does not allow freedom of speech resulting in
people not to expressing themselves. I understand things are censored to protect the things that can be seen
as harmful, however it should be the parents or those responsible to decide and make that decision.
Censoring or banning things in the media gives the impression the country has something to hide and that
there is no trust in society anymore. Freewill needs to be considered when having certifications on media
such as Video games and films as Children can be mature and can understand the difference between reality
and fantasy. The odd case occurs where people are soaked up in the media however this should not have to
affect the majority. On the other hand censorship should not be taken away all together because it is a
useful tool when stopping plagiarism or protecting identities of people in the media. Also coming in the form
of Advertising,it can be useful when protecting certain information being advertised to young children.
The Media effects debate gave a good insight to what the media can do to children’s heads. So therefore
people should be more careful when looking at the media, for example a parent allowing 2 hours a day on
media to prevent anything serious. It is down to the responsibility of the parents or carers to decide what
their children are watching and not those of the government putting each child in one category of under a
