Letter On Censorship Essay, Research Paper

Dear Mr Smith,I am writing to you on the subject of censorship. It is my

belief that the laws governing film censorship should be more versatile.Children of today are becoming mature and adult-like at an

ever-increasing early age. They are taught about the dangers of sex and drugs

in school, and know more about these topics than many adults. It is therefore

ridiculous not to allow them to see films containing violence; sex and drugs on

the TV until they are 18 as they will clearly be mature enough to see them at

the age of 16 when they finish their secondary education. At this age they will

have been taught everything they need to know.

In my opinion I believe your laws on the classification of films to be somewhat

outdated, as you don’t seem to be acknowledging the fact that there are an

ever-increasing number of mature people at a younger age. It is therefore

unfair to discriminate these people. I believe that the 18 certificate and the

15 certificate should be abolished with a new 16 certificate introduced. This

will therefore mean that everyone will be able to see the films, which they are

clearly mature enough to see.

I hope you can see my point of view and I hope that your view of censorship

will change. Abolishing the 18 certificate for a newer more modern 16

certificate is the way forward.

Yours Faithfully,
