of the complaints that were issued were of the immaturity of the readers.

And younger children should be prevented from borrowing material intended

for an older age group. Controversial materials should still be held either

in reserve stock, available on request, or under a section for parents and

teachers who can decide for themselves whether the material is suitable or

not.

Our would is not perfect. We are a world filled with violence, sex,

racism, etc. Certain literature like “hard-core pornography” should be

censored to the general public. These types of “explicit sex” truly have no

meaning. They degrade the human race by increasing physical, mental and

sexual abuse against women, animals, and sometimes against men. These

inhuman treatments should not be shown to prevent other potential people

from “experimenting” these acts of disgust. “Ordinary obscenity” should be

censored closely, but with an objective view. They may also cause an

increase in the violence against women, so they must be reduced and kept

out of reach of the immature readers. To make a tree grow correctly, you

must start caring from the very beginning. You must not block its

nutrients, water nor sunlight, but allow it to move around a bit. We have a

governing social system that mainly frowns upon the violence against women.

There should indeed be access to most types of literature, but in varying

degrees of freedom, determined not by censorship, but by controlled access.

Parents are trying to protect their children from the harsh realities of

life, but are they really helping, or hindering?
