Censorship is a topic that has brought about much controversy. There have been many different arguments, however the question still remains as if it should be censored or it should not be censored. The governments censoring of the violent, pornographic movies, MTV, TV programs are good policies for children who still have a children soul. Nevertheless, if the censorship is totally the control of the media through the government, it seems to be a dictatorship, for example, China censored a lot of subtle arts and political news which concerned Taiwan.
Last year, China strongly reacted to a famous singer in Taiwan who sang the R.O.C national anthem during our new president's inauguration ceremony. Therefore, China's TV stations, newspapers and billboard owners have been ordered to stop running a Sprite commercial which was made by this singer, Hui-mei Cheng. In Fact, the R.O.C national anthem is not the sole target of Chinese censorship. Meanwhile, HongKong singer Leon Lei was also forced to rewrite a song on his new album because the tune incorporated part of China's anthem. The Chinese reaction to these two singers is ridiculous. Artists should be allowed to say whatever they want. That is what our founding fathers based this country upon: freedom. .
Even if the organization could be just monitoring the media, but later on the government may use the organization to control the media, screen out information that the public cant know. Then the public wont be informed of the truth. For example, in Taiwan, the upper-class military bribe because of buying weapons. The public still doesnt know how the result is until now. It seems the government uses the organization to brainwash us. At this stage, it's not just a kind of censorship, but almost dictatorship.
