How would the censorship of books effect society?

Like what would happen to society and people if books were not permitted?





This is a topic from the book Farenheit 451.

How would the censorship of books effect society?
people would completely lose any sort of writing and communication skills. our society's already poor spelling and grammar would get worse. imagine a world where everyone wrote and talked as they do in a text message. you should read 1984 by george orwell, if you haven't already. that's how i feel we would end up without complete freedom to read and write what we want.
Reply:I think we would be an uneducated society. Banning arts, reading, and music is unfair. You can't buy certain art books at ie Hastings because a religious group came in and found them offensive. This is unreal to me because any one can censor you now days.
Reply:I beleieve that if certain things were not allowed in books then the world would be completely different. People would have different opinions on things and also people would not know a lot of things in life. I think that books are a tool in a persons life and reading will help you gain so much knowledge. There should be no censorship because that is just blocking out knowledge that could be gained, and all of the different types of books show different types of opinions and ideas. If you do not want to hear about a certain idea, then don't read the book. It is as simple as that. I know I sound like a 9th grade reading teacher who has too much time on their hands, but I am just teenager who has a strong opinion on reading! I hope my answer could help answer your question. And honestly, if I do say so myself, this was a very good question to aswk. Good job! :-)
Reply:We would no longer be a free society.
