The Human Need for Censorship

Recognizing human freedoms and rights has set the pace for building a democratic society while eliminating Censorship. Despite its opposition, the latter is vital in guiding the current and future generations to live without sabotaging each other’s values.

This essay focuses on people’s need for Censorship, explaining why the concept is critical today. Historically, families have applied Censorship to protect their children from harm and immorality.

The move is still applicable, with parents embracing Censorship to build trust and healthy relationships with kids. Censorship is also critical in religion and government institutions.

Besides safeguarding individuals’ religious practices by preventing divisive and offensive content, governments have adopted Censorship to discourage data profiling and uphold the state’s dignity.

Although the introduction of the Internet and social media elicited the view that people could exercise free speech and boost their information accessibility, the group is still selective in what they share with others, practicing self-censorship.

Also, denying education, literacy, and digital training to specific groups of individuals because of gender, religion, or race needs to be considered a form of restriction, not only on their rights but on their access to a quality life.

Even though Censorship has been criticized as propagating totalitarianism, its adoption remains vital for creating a balanced society.

That’s the introduction of my most recent book, on stores or Amazon next January 2023.
