答案 As to whether it is worthwhile for a modern civilized society to retain the practice of censorship, there is a long-running controversial debate. It is quite natural that people from different backgrounds may have divergent attitudes towards it. Some critics insist that we should abolish this practice. They claim that this is a violation of freedom. As society progresses, democracy should develop too. We should enjoy more freedom than before. We should be allowed to do whatever we like to. And news reporters should have the right to report what they want to cover. All of us have the basic human rights such as freedom of speech and freedom of press. Moreover, the practice may more often than not be abused and applied to all aspects of life. Some artists even say that the practice of censorship will ineluctably interfere with their creation. Therefore, they hold that any efforts to restrict people’s freedom of speech and press should be condemned. Inevitably, on the other side, there are others who strongly advocate the practice of censorship, Democracy can not go to the extreme. They think that it’s essential to exercise this practice because they believe in that too much liberty spoils all. They have several reasons for this. Firstly, with this practice, we can guarantee the positive influence of the mass media. We can make sure that what is reported whatever they like to, there is possibility that some news items are nothing true but sensational in order to grab the public attention and make profits. Secondly, the responsibility of society of mass media is strengthened. They will think over what kind of result their articles will bring about every time they write. And they will aim to collect writing materials which will exert beneficial and positive influence on the public. Thirdly, we can have a clean cultural environment, which is essential and crucial to the smooth and healthy development of our society. With views of both sides considered, I think that it’s necessary to exercise the practice of censorship for the good of our society, and for the good of our younger generations.
