Literature and Censorship

Literature and censorship refer to the practice of restricting access to certain books, writings, or artistic expressions due to political, moral, or cultural reasons. Censorship can occur in various forms, such as banning publications, editing content, or controlling what is taught in schools. This can limit freedom of expression and the exchange of ideas, impacting society's understanding of different perspectives. While some argue that censorship protects societal values, others contend that it stifles creativity and undermines democracy by preventing open dialogue and critical thinking. Balancing the need for protection with the right to free expression remains a contentious issue.
