Some hold the view that ideas and information should be completely open, and there should be no controls on what people can read and watch in the media (TV, newspapers, internet) Do you agree with this view, or you think that in some circumstances governments should limit the freedom of the media? - Negative information to country: feeling, no discipline, no peace National secret: terrorism Not Limit because: people rights to show good ideas, improve We are living in 21st century while information become part of our lives In my country, each family has at least television is normal while many of them even setup internet for their home-using So media strongly influences us in different ways, we watch TV, read newspapers everyday and we can comment or post ideas as soon as we press Enter key I completely agree that goverments should control what people can read and watch in the media and here is my reasons Firstly, providing every information to the readers could lead to negative situations because people are attracted by shock news or fascinating titles Example the number views of rape and murder always are much more than others If someone watch it daily, I believe that he or she will become negative and stress Another reason why I vote for limiting information is that media is a double-edges sword There will be no problem if people only share legal data with others, but how dangrous they will be if banned information and national secrets are on internet for everyone Wikileak can be seen as a good example Thousands of USA’s government secret document was uploaded to this website includes policies to fight back terrorism, police and army’s activities,… And criminal may become more serious if they got that words On the other hand, limiting information and ideas gets it’s disadvantages A lot of people will never know the truth or be bodered to show their good opinions to improve the society, even that is their rights But sometime we need necessary evil to make a discipline and peaceful world In conclusion, I suppose media should be controlled to make sure correct information goes to the country
