Censorship And The Common Sense Alternative Media

By Miranda Sweeney


When it comes to censorship, it can often be difficult to determine whether or not some programming is okay for children of a specific age. While there are often ratings on different games and movies, television shows have no such ratings. One reason groups like the Common Sense Alternative Media exist is to assure children are watching age appropriate television, playing and using age appropriate apps and games and watching age appropriate movies.

An organization whose mission is to educate, advocate and rate different types of media aimed at children, teens and young adults. The organization saves parents a lot of time by providing a number of editorials and reviews about different movies and shows on the website. There is also a blog on which parents and educators can communicate directly related to any issues going on at home or school that might be interfering with grades or learning as a whole.

An "Editor's Pick, " section of the website provides what the editor of the website considers the best of everything from apps and movies to television shows and websites. In the News and Topics with discussions on issues like "bullying, " and other topics based on current events round out the section.

A Video section provides previews of first run movies and those yet to be released. There is also a section for reviews written by a variety of contributors. A parents and educator blog has put an end to the dreaded in-school parent teacher conference. Educators and parents can now discuss issues on the blog or video blog at times convenient for both parties.

It is unfortunate that the organization almost came to an end after leaking information about Congress taking over the internet. Whether true or otherwise, stating something of this magnitude makes major news. The organization's response is that the intention was to wake up the American people as to how many freedoms are being stripped away on a an almost daily basis.

One reason censorship, at this or any level is still a controversial topic. For some, it is a necessity to keep a child out of trouble at school. For others, it is going against the grain of every fiber to force censorship on anyone. When in reality, censorship is a practice lost in the light of indifference. A child is going to hear bad words at school and others at school are going to talk about the shows the child can not watch.

When it comes to children, the overall health and well being of the children is what matters most. Parents are responsible for seeing to it that children when in mixed company are well behaved. After the age of twelve, it is often necessary to determine fault based on a review of the actions and people present at the time.

Most children who grow up in peace, love and harmony are going to grow up a peaceful loving adult. Children prone to behavioral issues, domestic or sexual abuse and other negative environmental aspects are more likely to grow up with issues. One reason it is important to understand the right methods or rewarding good behaviors while overlooking bad behaviors from an early age.
