2018年12月英语六级作文精讲：你对出版物审查持什么态度？
Publications Should Be Censored .What's Your Opinion?你对出版物应该审查持什么态度?
Suppose you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children
to read any book or see any film they wanted to without first checking its
content or finding out whether it is suitable for them? If your answer to the
question is "yes," then you are either extremely permissive or just plain
irresponsible. If your answer is "no ," then you are exercising your right as a
parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable
influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting
that there is a strong case for censorship.
Perhaps you will say that children need protection and it is the parents'
responsibility to provide it. But with adults, it is another thing. Of course
many adults can decide what is good and what is bad, but not all of them can do
so. Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Just imagine what chaos
there would be if we lived in a society without laws! Like the law, censorship
contributes to the common good.
Moreover, when discussing censorship, we should not confine our attention
to great masterpieces of genuine art, but should consider the vast numbers of
publications and films which make up the bulk of the entertainment industry.
When censorship laws are relaxed, unscrupulous people are given a licence to
produce virtually anything in the name of "art", but actually are very far from
being works of art. There is a tendency to equate "artistic" with
"pornographic". The vast market for pornography would rapidly be exploited. One
of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from
making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others.
