8. Is it necessary to ban books from certain things?
Yes, because people sometimes are offended by the vulgar or other non-censored things. Also some things are not age appropriate to some young adults. Books do not have to be non-censored to keep teens interested. My beliefs are that people should watch what they write because they don't know the reader's age or belief on the type of book they're writing. Also some parents or guardians do not want their kids exposed to the non-censored books. They should make it age appropriate for all teens and young adults.
1. What are the risks of censorship?
Some risks of censorship is that if your book is censored less people will buy it because there has to be something in the book to make it on the censored list. Also your book will not be in the public for everyone to see, it will have a risk that it will not be very popular. Also it can give you a bad reputation as a writer.
6. Is censorship in schools a good thing?
Depends, if you are talking about a middle school. Defiantly because I would not want my middle school kid being exposed to drugs and other censored reasons. But in high school, hopefully kids are mature enough to be okay being exposed to censored reasons. But high schoolers tend to be able to relate more because they are older. But middle schoolers should not be exposed to non-censored books.
10. Are there certain topics that should always be taboo?
My belief is that if the topic is questionable you should probably not put it in your book. But drug use should defiantly be censored, because it can easily influence kids. Also other topics that are adult material should be questioned.
7. Is censorship in libraries or other government buildings a good thing?
No, because if its a public library its for all ages. Not for one age group, but I think there should be a age restriction. But if it's a public library there should be a kids section because it should be more age appropriate for them. But people go to the library to access books and material that they are un-able to get at home.
4. In what instances would censorship be acceptable?
When there is harsh things in the book and people do not approve it. Also when the book should not be exposed to children and young adults. Or when something should not be shared to schools.
