Censorship may be appropriate for protecting children from unsuitable images and language in education materials. However, censorship is unnecessary for adults in society who should be exposed to a free flow of information and think critically about what they see and hear. While some censorship can help children, too much censorship of information for all audiences is problematic as governments and others may use it to hide things they do not want citizens to know. People need information to be aware of current events and should analyze information critically rather than having information censored from them.

1. COMPOSITION
THE CESORSHIP
Censorship is another tool for handling today’s society such as the
subliminal messages or the media manipulation by political parties.
On the one hand, I only could understand the sense of censorship in
education, documents or information channels that use language and
images unsuitable for children, because they could incorporate this into
their daily lives.
We must also respect those who are in favor of censorship and try to
find a balance between the two ways of thinking.
On the other hand if we talk about adults integrated into society,
censorship is unnecessary.
In the case of censorship of Wikileaks is evident that governments have
something to hide and that is annoying to them that could be a
information’s channel that awakes the interest of citizens and can
exercise a change in their mindsets.
But like the resto fo information that reaches us, we must be critical,
analyze and try to understand in all its senses what Wikileaks wants to
express.
In my opinion a little of censorship is useful in very specific aspects of
children’s education but meaningless in adults society due to the flow of
information so important that there is nowadays.
People should be aware of what is happening around them and be
critical of information recieved.
