Why Music Should be Censored
Have you ever pondered the thought of why our society is cursing so much? Did you predict what the source of this problem is? There is a great chance that the origin of our society cursing is uncensored music .Music should be censored because the profanity in it models children to use fowl language and goes against people’s moral values and religion.
Initially uncensored music that many listen to is getting to the younger generation .We all know that children are our future .What happens a majority of the time when a juvenile hears a new word ,they use the new word right? Eventually most children will be using profanity .The real question is, how will our society be in ten years from now.
Additionally music should be censored because hearing cursing in the public is disturbing .To my understanding music helps calm the nerves .When you are relaxing do you really want to hear explicit language. The outcome will be public life being less pleasant .Some people enjoy censored music just because it makes their everyday life a little more placid.
Ultimately, the largest con of having uncensored music is that it goes against beliefs .Music that is not censored may affect the way people interpret their beliefs ,and potentially will become a bad habit throughout that religion. Some people probably enjoy songs that swear, but maybe it's because they don't know realize how immoral using fowl language is. Imprecate music changes the way these people live life.
If someone were to ask me my opinion whether music should be censored or not ,I will respond by saying music that is not filtered is rapidly changing beliefs ,corrupting children ,and disturbing the peace .I don't see the purpose of having profanity in music anyway.

Maybe, just maybe, could it be the other way around?
Musicians are catering to the people who will buy their cds. Teenagers swear. Artists learn to accomodate that.
Just maybe.
Although I do not agree with your opinoin, this essay is poorly written. The sentences are simple and don't flow; you used wrong words such as 'fowl', instead of 'foul' and you are missing a lot of puncuation. If you are going to make a point please put some effort into it. Also many of your supporting details are weak and frankly don't make sense. Also censorship shouldn't be allowed, a solution you ask? Don't like it? Don't listen to it. Also, a song could have a few bad words but could be about something positive (anti-war songs, being sucessful in life) and another song can be describing something completely innappropriate but gets away with it due to the lack of bad words.
EXACTLY:)
1. Don't listen to the music
2. Get the censored version of the song
There really is not point in all out censoring music. It is censored on the radio. There are "uncensored" and "censored" versions of songs on itunes and online. People can choose.
The music we listen to does not cause cursing. That only happens to the overly-impressionable. And people who are that easily swayed to curse are usually pretty you. Age ten and under. AT those ages, most kids aren't interested in the hardcore stuff. If they are, parents have enough power over their children at the time to take away that music from them.
I don't know what places play uncensored versions of songs. Usually all stores and public establishments have rather neutral music on. No cursing, too urban, or too country. So I don't know what public places you are talking about that play uncensored versions of songs
If uncensored music offends a person's religion, they simply should not listen to it. Or listen to the censored version. There really isn't a problem.
