	Censorship - MSN Encarta
		In modern times, censorship refers to the examination of books, periodicals, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports, and other communication media for the purpose of altering or suppressing parts thought to be objectionable or offensive.
		Thus, the rationale for censorship is that it is necessary for the protection of three basic social institutions: the family, the church, and the state.
		In the ideal state outlined in The Republic, censors would prohibit mothers and nurses from relating tales considered bad or evil; and in his Laws Plato proposed that wrong beliefs about God or the hereafter be treated as crimes and that formal machinery be set up to suppress heresy.

	Censorship - MSN Encarta
		The pope was recognized as the final authority in church doctrine and government, and the secular state used force to compel obedience to his decisions.

	What is Censorship?
		In the 20th Century, censorship was achieved through the examination of books, plays, films, television and radio programs, news reports, and other forms of communication for the purpose of altering or suppressing ideas found to be objectionable or offensive.
		To understand censorship, and the impulse to censor, it is necessary to strip away the shock epithet value that is attached to the word at first utterance.
		Censorship is no more acceptable for being practiced in the name of religion than for national security (which is certainly an acceptable secular substitute for religious rationales in the 20th Century).

	censorship: In the United States
		Censorship has existed in the United States since colonial times; its emphasis has gradually shifted from the political to the sexual.
		Until the Tariff Act was amended in 1930, many literary classics were not allowed entry into the United States on grounds of obscenity.
		As Supreme Court decisions struck down many obscenity statutes, states responded by enacting laws prohibiting the sale of obscene materials to minors, and these were upheld (1968) by the Supreme Court.

	Censorship (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Conceptions of censorship derive from Roman practice in which two officials were appointed by the government to conduct the census, award public contracts and supervise the manners and morals of the people.
		While censorship has often been constructed against the explicit backdrop of morality, it has been implicitly based on assumptions about the identity and composition of the audience for American broadcast television at particular points in time.
		Whereas censorship in the 1950s and 1960s was based on the presumed standards and tastes of the white middle-class nuclear family, censorship in the 1970s became a process of balancing the often conflicting values of marginal social groups.

		Censorship represents the complete denial of all of these, and is, therefore, both anti-democratic and pro-totalitarian” (Oboler, 1974).

		While the latter trait might be due partly to the extensive research he conducted for his new book, "Parental Advisory: Music Censorship in America," Nuzum was quite possibly blunt and opinionated as a toddler.
		Nuzum thinks that the interview with the Wal-Mart buyer, who requested anonymity on the grounds that he spoke on behalf of the company and not as an individual, is the most interesting of the bunch.
		According to Nuzum, the Wal-Mart chain is the world's largest music retailer and sells "as many as one out of every 10 CDs sold in the United States." It also has a blanket policy not to stock any music product with a parental advisory.
