Writing Prompt #8: The Internet Includes Many Websites With Images and Content That Is Inappropriate. Should Websites Like These Be Censored by Parent? Why or Why Not? State Your Position and Support It With Specific Reasons and Examples.

The internet today is outrageous with all the images and content that is exploited all over the web. There are pictures of people nude, cyber bullying, and a whole lot of negative blogs and other things. Of course this is just an everyday thing that most people see but enough is enough! Parents should censor what their children see online on a daily basis. It’s just a big distraction to most teens all over the world and something needs to be done about it.

     Parents should censor what their children access on the internet because most of that stuff children don’t need to see at all. Children get on the computer everyday for numerous numbers of hours and their parents hardly even check to see what their children are looking at. Their children could be doing anything and they would hardly ever know about it. Parents should censor what their children access on the internet because the internet can influence people to do bad things and to do things that wouldn’t normally be in their nature. Children get negative influence from things on the internet that really shouldn’t even be shown.

     It’s not the parent’s fault why their children are being introduced to all of these negative things on the internet. It’s the internet’s fault for letting all of those negative things be on the internet for everyone to see. All of that inappropriate stuff is so negative, and so unnecessary. No one wants their children to see that or run into that when they access a website. Cyber bullying being exploited on the internet is a high rate now, and for children to see that, they think it’s fine and they start to follow the leader and do the same thing that the first idiot did. Honestly a parent should put up a block on the computer so their children won’t ever run into or access those types of websites.

     The internet should be censored by parents every time their children access the computer. From nudity to cyber bullying every child should be censored from ever seeing something like that. A parent won’t even know what their children are doing, and they won’t have to know if the internet-access their using is censored from all of that type of stuff. The internet should be the one to blame for letting all of that be on there. It’s a big distraction and something needs to be done about it.
