224. "Censorship is rarely, if ever, justified."
I strongly agree with the assertion that censorship is rarely, if ever, justified. Two aspects, the principles of censorship and execution of it in the realityin the reality?好别扭啊,用realistically多好, would lend strong support to this statement. Yet, the chaos of information in the modern society brings the necessity of censorship.开头段不啰嗦,很清楚.摆明了大否小是的立场,也指出将从principles和execution两方面阐述否的方面
To begin with, the principles for censoring isare rarely justified and objective. Who would establish the principles of censorship? Not the whole society of a nation, but the government. And more essentially, it is some several politicians who set down the principles for censoring. Common sense tells that almost every government only tells the public the doctrines which the government conforms to. Accordingly and naturally, the government would rule out the opposite speaking, ideas to the dogmas. So, we can often see that a painting exhibition in a museum wasis,时态要统一 cancelled since only several items in the exhibition was suspected that it is likely to bring on some opposite ideas to the government. 可以举《华氏911》的例子Also, the editor of a newspaper or magazine, who publishes some essays without censoring, has to abdicate with the pressure of government. This kind of actions go against the nature of democracy that every citizen has the right to embrace the freedom of speech and expression(as Franklin Roosevelt claimed it as the first freedom in his address of "The Four Freedoms").
AddingTo add further support to the statement is that the execution of censorship is rarely justified in the reality. After the principle of censorship is established, how to censor and who would execute the tasks? Let us reconsider the example about the painting exhibition in a museum mentioned before. On the same painting, it is often likely that different people will hold different views. Consequently, whether or not it will pass the censoring fully depends on the person doing this job, exactly, which depends on the education, ideas, and even political or religious beliefs of individuals. How difficult or even impossible that the censorship based on this kind of execution of censorship is often justified!
However,用Admittedly更好,毕竟是大否小是的立场,论述次要立场语气应该弱化一些 with the advance of information and communication technology, various kinds of information and ideas are full of用反了, A is full of B 是A里充满了B,如 The cup is full of milk everywhere of society, some of which are common enemies of mankind, such as eroticism, violence and heresy and so on. We can get any information we want from the Internet, and also a child can easily get some videos full of violence from the Internet. Furthermore, I often get some garbage emails whose subjects is always about the ideas of a kind of heresy -"FaLunGong", which often leads to violence, killing others or even suicide and has been prohibited in China. It is necessary to sweep away all of this from our society, which is the very function and duty of censorship.对这个可能国外看法有所不同,不过也无所谓,老美未必看得懂"FalunGong"是什么意思:),定语从句写好就行了 Imagine that how terrible if a adolescent magazine is full of pictures about eroticism, violence, which can result in a anincrease of illegal actions and unharmoniousness of society.
As it stands, the censorship, indeed, is rarely, if ever, justified. But a censorship is very indispensable in the modern society. How to perfect the principles and the execution of censorship,
and consequently bring on a harmonious and healthy-atmosphere society, is the responsibility of the whole human being.
总体感觉思路清晰,论证有力。
语言上似乎有所不足,举例子也主要是国内的思维,如果能多搜集些国外的例子更好 |
