Do you think music videos should be censored?

Censorship is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body. There are people that work against it and work for it what they do is take you music video and judge whether it is eligible for the public to watch they will not allow a song to be put on TV channels if they deem it to be inappropriate. Also companies such as Ofcom allow anyone to report things they feel are offensive or should not be seen by children. Ofcom then censor it or take it off completely.

Artists that have been affected are:
• Rihanna
• Eminem
For example Rihanna they censored her music video wasn’t good video to the kid that are watching TV at night and it the thing she have in the video like smoking, drinking, drugs and sex and the people are watching it will find it really rude because there are kids out there that look up to this artist. Therefore having rude and obscene scenes in the video will be over the top.
Eminem don’t really care about the news say or TV say i does what feel good and he say you can’t tell me what I can do and what I can the saying I rap what I feel and what I’ve been going though since I was a young boy and people just think I’m coming out with this when I’m really not I say what been doing or what’s been happening to me in the pass and my fans can really get where I’m coming form with that and they are goon be people out there that don’t like what I do but I’m goon since do what I’m goon do.
Artist: Eminem
Age: 39
Music: rap hip hop
Eminem was one of the most like people rap in the world because he was real and the fan like that about him if you took that always form him then they won’t be a Eminem he bring the fun to the rap world and people see him as a roll meld and there people out there who want to stop what is doing but if that happened then they will be a big controversy and then the news will get in to it than the hold media and people try make him look bad but what he doing is something that he likes since he was a boy and he took it up and work at it and no look where he is he one off the best raps in the world right now
When he says something that the audience don’t like that will try to make it look as if he saying it to them but the reason for something he does is to get out his feeling and that what make a good rap.
The parent:
Hello I want inform you on the music video Eminem is bring out to the audience I think he a bad roll to the kid out there and I have two kids and I wouldn’t want to hear something like that what he say in his song is very rude talking about what he been thought but we wouldn’t like to here but there people think what he does is fun and good but me I don’t think so and I wouldn’t want my kids watching it they young 8 and 14 but what I don’t know is when they go out they might hear something like that and bring it home and get in to it and that what I don’t want my kids grow up on

    You have made a good start in answering the debate question and you have thought about your chosen example too.

    However, you have not related to the censorship law, the debate and the different roles in enough detail. This needs to be changed so that you can show more understanding of the task. Refer back to your class notes and the debate notes

    1. This also provides evidence for Unit 3 Research

      P1- You have described why censorship is used in the music industry and you have also related to some well chosen examples too. To achieve a M1 you need to explain what the censorship law is in more detail and refer to Ofcom in more detail too.
