Censorship

I agree with mathabane’s thought that he does not want people to censor his work because he wrote it to reflect reality, to show the world the inhumanity of the apartheid system. To make the book more realistic and draw people into the book. This meant a lot to him, because without this people will not fully understand what was going on.  However If he does not want the book to be censored he should rate the book maybe above a certain age. Because some people might be too young to be exposed to such things in the book.  I think that censorship is a very important and necessary thing. Mostly censorship is used for educational purposes.  The most common censorship I think is media. Although I understand that people have the right to speak what they wish to and have the freedom to do so. Some inappropriate things are always on some sort of media. And the world we live in today is full of media. This means children are exposed to media everyday. Media is something that greatly affects peoples minds and how one thinks. This does not only apply to children but also to adults; people in general.  For instance if a child is always watching TV shows about fighting and killing, they can start to get interested at their age without knowing that it is wrong and start committing murder.  There are some stupid shows that have over cursing for nothing which should be censored. Although I think that not everything should be censored because there might be a reason for that, and if you censor that you might not fully understand. However I think there should be a limitation of this.
