问题     A mother
    Just think you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take our children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable for them? Most of you might answer "no". Then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.

    Of course children need protection and it is the parents’ responsibility to provide it. But what about adults? Aren’t they old enough to decide what is good for them? Aren’t they have a good sense to solve their own problems? Different people have different tastes and interests. Why bother to limit and control the way people feel and think?
    An actor
    It is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. The so called censorship is no more than a few people’s subjective decisions. How can they distinguish between works of art and others?
    A government official
    Where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views—often far more liberal than a large section of the public. In fact, some of the books or films we permitted are even considered "inappropriate" by a part of them. And for those books, plays and films which come before the censor, I would say the great proportion of them are very far from being "works of art."
    A teacher
    Just imagine what disorder there would be if we lived in a society without laws! Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good. One of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. When censorship laws are relaxed, unscrupulous people are given a license to produce almost anything in the name of "art". Society would really be the poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.
