Censorship.
Censorship: Is the process of hiding/covering inappropriate objects, behaviour or language.An example of censorship is the beeping out of swear words on TV programs.The media cover up swear words on the TV as it is deemed inappropriate for possible viewers. Watershed is a type of censorship as it controls what is shown on TV at certain times. Before 9 pm certain images and languages are covered but after 9 pm TV shows are allowed to shows swearing and non blurred out images.
I think that we do need censorship as it protects vulnerable people. Censorship does not just apply to the media, but on certain products. They have age restrictions on products like cigarettes and alcohol. Censorship in the media is especially important as it tells viewers what type of content is in the film/TV show. If the film/TV show has an age limit of 16, people know that there is content within the film/TV show is not suitable for children younger so they should not watch it. Also by warning the audience about things like violent scenes and flashing images is important as the audience know what to expect from the film, so they can decide if it is suitable for them or others. I think censorship is important as it is a guide line to what people should be able able to view. Without these guide lines can affect vulnerable people.
Censorship is controlled by the government, as they decide what they think is appropriate and what is inappropriate to sow on TV. This is important as the government controls what we see. This could be seen negatively as people may think that the government are controlling what information they hear. The government could be feeding us false information. The government controlling censorship could also be seen as positive as it means that the are controlling TV to keep people safe from inappropriate images.

This is a very good attempt and some good examples are used, censorship is also explained clearly. In future include further examples and also images to make this post more interesting.
