Today’s generations of children are heavily influenced by the media. Kids are subject to television, movies, video games, and countless other forms of media. It’s unfair that the media needs to be tendered towards children. It’s understandable that certain parts of media need to be censored for the sake of profanity. Although, this chapter suggests that censorship goes into the depths of controlling children’s social behaviors. The control of comic books by the education system would be a terrible step in limiting the mind of a child. We need to put less regulation on children’s means of entertainment rather than more. We can limit what they should be entertained by as far as content. But never alter a comic book because it may show signs of violence or vulgarity.
The Truth is no matter how much we can censor children’s media. There will always be outs where children can get their hands on adult targeted media and that media will influence them. So my question is is censorship really the best idea to help influence the minds of children and teenagers for the sake of morality? Should we even be doing this?
