Government censorship

In some counties, governments censor their TV programs, broadcasts and internet strictly. For example in China，government setup three agencies to censor media. But in America, the FCC plays the roll in censorship of media only. Why such different way that government manipulate the media exist? Some people may say that a strict censorship will help to protect children from copy cat crime. Others may disagree with a strict censorship on media, because they think that over censoring the media violated the freedom spirit. As far as I am concerted censorship cast both positive and negative effect on society. So we should find out a proper way to balance them.

Before we start to solve this problem, we should know what causes the government to censor the media. As we all know some companies are willing to sacrifice ethical principle for audients rating, because violence programs, sexual speech and sensitive topics of politics, sometimes, are more attractive. Media that contain this elements may cast negative influence on children, adolescents and even adults. Children and teenagers are easily affected, because most of them do not from a complete value. In other words, they do not know what can be done and what can not. They act without a rational mind. What’s more, most of their activities are based on what they like. Is it a cool thing to do or if I do this am I look like a super hero?- A recent research in China shows that the copycat crime rate rose 68% in paste 10 years. It is in recent ten years, media in China developed a lot. So media affect teenagers a lot. It seems that in term of protecting younger age and in this serious circumstance, a strict censorship is badly required.
