Why Do People Have No Filter
The individual here either has no control of when to stop talking or is pressure to keep a conversation going. In most cases the individual does not consider the consequences of saying something before they say it, being honest even if it’s brutal. We can consider people like this not having a filter while speaking and being blunt. Also, the individual will freely interrupt another person while conversing. Throughout the movie Pat has no filter. It was first noted when he first arrived home. His mother Dolores discretely told him before entering the house that his father lost his job and is now bookmaking to earn money to open a restaurant. Once he encounters his father he confronts him, keeps asking many questions non-stop, no pauses, until

    There could be many reasons why people have to need to censor, and it usually depends on the type of government a certain country has and the type of citizens they have. And by type I mean by their race, religion, what they are interested in, what they do as a career, etc. A good example of this situation could be the book “Fahrenheit 451”. Besides from comic books and pornography, every single type of books are censored, from the religious texts to the fiction chapter books. Although books are the main things that are censored from this society, but without books, many other things have changed. Things such as it is illegal to be a pedestrian because people don’t have time to drive slowly and stop for others, therefore people drive really fast and if someone is pedestrian, they could get run over.…

    Josh’s father monopolizes the conversation by continually interrupting him almost every time Josh speaks. Interrupting commonly uses language that challenges or disrupts a speaker (Wood, 122). When Josh’s father interrupts and bombards him with questions such as, “What do you mean you’re not me? You think I wasn’t a good student before I joined the fraternity? You think you’re so smart you can party all the time and still make good grades?” he does this to challenge Josh’s judgment (Wood 122, 132). When he cuts Josh off again by exclaiming, “Well, you think wrong!” he does not allow Josh to communicate what he thinks, expressing disregard for his opinion. Whether this disparagement was intentional or not, he has focused the attention away from Josh, resulting in ineffective listening.…

    The recipe for a strong argument is comprised of two main facets. One is its ability to persuade and the other its ability to reason. It’s possible for an argument to persuade without reason, but if an article lacks reason and fails to persuade it’s left completely exposed. Alice Bailey and Laura Tallman’s article, “Internet filters are gates, not erasers, to protect kids in library” which appeared in 2009 in The Press Democrat, exemplifies an argument that attempts to persuade while lacking credibility, reason and accountability. The focus of Bailey and Tallman’s article is to persuade the reader to support the idea of internet filters in public libraries in attempt to protect children from pornographic images, to which they claim carry incomparable danger. The article uses fear as a means to persuade and to make up for its substantial lack of evidence and organization. It is is scattered with loaded language and proof surrogates while all together presenting a false dilemma to the reader, which is intolerable in a topic that surrounds the First Amendment. For these reasons the “Gates” article is unacceptable and fails as an argumentative piece of writing.…

    The Censors

    • 252 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The story is an example of situational irony because an event occurs that changes the expectations of the story. For example, Juan went from trying to outsmart the government by working for them to becoming a dedicated censor. Juan becomes so obsessed with trying to be a perfect censor that he forgets the true mission of making sure he gets his letter back. To get the letter back Juan does work long and hard but “Soon his work became so absorbing that his noble mission blurred in his mind”. In addition, Juan loses any rational thought of why he actually got the job at the censorship place and ends up censoring his letter. He works so hard that they keep advancing him to higher positions, and is soon revealed that it is more important for him to do his job than to try and find his letter. “He was about to congratulate himself for having finally discovered his true mission when his letter reached his hands. Naturally he censored it without regret.” Furthermore, Juan’s actions lead to the biggest surprise of all. His own death. He is too far-gone and does not think twice when he puts letter into the censored pile. Because of this action, Juan is killed the next day “And just as naturally he couldn't prevent them from executing him at dawn, one more victim of his devotion to work”. As a result, to all of Juan’s actions, “The Censors” is a great example of situational…

    Even with the Narrator's lack of communication and fears of losing his wife, he seems as if he wants to talk but wont because he was afraid of rejection and wouldn't want to show his vulnerabilities. So instead he says he will hold his tongue half the time or lock himself in the bathroom to get away. For example "I felt like a damn fool whenever I actually said anything about this kind of feeling and she looked at me like she could start hating me real easy and so I was working on saying nothing even if it meant locking myself up" (Pg 767).…

    Our society needs censorship because things have gotten out of control. If the government fails to exercise control over what people have access to, God’s children will completely fall apart. In the book, Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury’s character, Baetty, tries to tell the people that the books they are reading are bad for them. He feels like censorship is needed in that society. Censorship can help keep children under control and sometimes cause children and parents also to think about what they see and hear. Becoming one, protecting children and letting racism go is why we need censorship.…

    Media is a source of communication that plays an important role in our lives. Nowadays people started arguing about the necessity for governments to have the right to place strict rules of banding or censoring movies or films that exposed are to their country. First of all, let me define the word censor, according to Merriam Webster (2014), " a person who examines books, movies, letters, etc., and removes things that are considered to be offensive, immoral, harmful to society, etc". In addition, the role of censorship is to block certain materials that the government disagrees with for religious, violent and sexual reasons. There are some people who disagree with the idea that the films should be censored, they feel they have the freedom…
