Freedom of Expression and Censorship
Is censorship ethical? No it is not and it should never be. Why is not ethical, because we as human beings have the right to be free. Censorship is something that limits our freedom. Freedom of speech should never be unethical. What makes us humans is the fact that we are all free. Freedom constitute us a human beings and censorship takes part of what we enjoy as freedom, so in other words it takes part of our humanity. Freedom of speech is always ethical, we always have a choice of what we want to say, life is made up our choices and it is impossible NOT to choose, because not choosing after all is a choice as well. Although you can choose what ever you want, you still have to take responsibility for all the actions and choices you do take. What we say and what we do is what defines ourselves. If it is good or bad, that is what makes up our personality, so you can never take us the possibility of making that choice, even if the choice or the path we take is not the "correct" one. By limiting our freedom and the amount of choices we can make you are taking part of the advantage and the good part of being human, you are taking away our essence. So no, there should not be censorship and yes freedom of speech should always be permitted, and the way you act to it is what will define who you are.
