Summary
Phil Kerby, a previous editor of the Los Angeles Times, once said that “censorship is the strongest drive in human nature; sex is a weak second” (American Library Association 3). According to him, people are taking censorship to far. It appears that they are beginning to enjoy censoring more than sex, a strong human nature. Censorship, the removing of objectionable features from the media, is becoming increasingly more common. It is beneficial in some cases, but most of the time, this act is taken to the extreme. The American Library Association proclaims that “censorship can be subtle, almost imperceptible, as well as blatant and overt, but, nonetheless, harmful” (2). They understand that at times, the act of censoring goes unnoticed, but other times it is very obvious. In both of these cases, however, it appears to be harmful, especially since it changes how the audience perceives what is being censored. One form of censorship, which has been taken to far, is the banning of books.
