Saving Our Society

In earlier times nudity in art was seen as acceptable because that's how society was formed. Art such as in the Titanic wouldn't have the same meaning or feeling if it were to be censored. That's how life was. But through life as we have seen many changes in other forms society has changed as well leading to an unaccecptable form of society and changing beautiful art to porn.

When art turns to porn and only desired in your house it should be censored. Censorship of porn or art however you would like to view it should end zup only in your homes. If it wasn't censored all we would be doing is living an undignified life and ruining the life of our children. As much as we would love for art to stay the same as it was today's society has changed and transformed to the fact of not having art anymore. "PORNOGRAPHY is not a legal term at all. Its dictionary definition is "writing or pictures intended to arouse sexual desire" (American Civil Liberties). As sad as it is this is what art has turned into. Art is no longer to be beautiful decoration in museums it is used at home to arouse sexual desires and even at art museums you see a trend of more men arriving to look at art work than before.

Art work should also be censored for the sake of children. Children need to be sheltered for a little while from the exploiting of nudity. The corruption of nudity can be harming to the way the children grow up. For example with how easily accessable pornography Is on the internet they end up deploiting themselves to lower standards and meeting boys or "men" online and taking nude pictures of themselves that could be just as easily seen as art work to arouse sexual desires of sexual prediators. This kind of art work has lead to many kidnappings and killings of young girls who thought selling themselves online would make them more like today's society. If there was any censorship of nudity

then children wouldn't have thoughts of taking nude pictures of themselves to please men and consider it art.

Not only has censorship been seen in art museums it has gone to high school students asking for books to be removed because of the sexual content. The content of sexual scenes and portrayed images should not be allowed in school for the sake of the children. And hundreds of works of literatureÐ'--from Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings to John Steinbeck's Grapes of WrathÐ'--have been banned from public school libraries based on their "sexual content"(The Humanist). Protecting your children so they don't wind up in jail because they find pleasure in looking at porn could be the saving of our society. If we continue with the censorship of nudity in art in books, movies, or museums children could possibly be saved from the corrupt life styles they are living today. If censorship had been started in controversy hundreds of years ago maybe we could possibly eliminated
