Abstract
This paper explains that, although J.D. Salinger's novel "The Catcher in the Rye" was one of the most widely censored books for its alleged demoralization and its obscene language, this coming of age novel aptly portrays a teenager's struggle to leave behind his authentic childhood to enter a superficial and, at times, morally debased adult world of the 1950s. The paper first describes the life of J.D. Salinger and the sociogenic atmosphere of the period in which he lived. Subsequently, the paper analyzes the part that protagonist Holden Caulfield plays in the novel in his representation of the distraught youth of the 1950s who felt alienated by the growing generation gap.

From the Paper
"Holden's loneliness and alienation from his peers is represented by the unique hunting cap that he buys in New York City after he lost the fencing teams foils. The red hunting cap, which Holden usually wears when he is most insecure, is a continuing symbol throughout the book of his feeling that he is different, does not fit in his environment, and, what's more, does not want to fit in. The eccentric hat also was a symbol of the protagonist's search for his own unique identity in an American social milieu that was largely homogeneous."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the documentary "Hollywood Censored: Movies, Morality and the Production Code" which illustrates the effects of censorship in the film industry. This paper examines the religious condemnation, societal expectations and financial insecurity that have plagued Hollywood and the film industry since the early 1900s. This paper discusses the profound effect the Catholic church had on Hollywood. The Legion of Decency was created in order to clean up to films that were being shown to society. The hold of the Catholic church in the major cities was massive and as long as Hollywood produced films the religious authorities felt were morally harmful to society, priests and parishioners would continue to ban films. The writer also examines the events that led up to the film industry being granted 1st amendment protection in 1952, in which films were finally viewed as an art form.

From the Paper
"In 1952 movies were granted First Amendment protection and films were finally seen as an art form. This came about after the studios were deemed monopolies and forced to give up their movie palaces. Theaters were now free to show any type of film they pleased and were not held liable to the production code. This allowed directors and producers a freedom they had not seen in many years. Breen's theories and strict regulations became obsolete. The control Hollywood and the courts had given him had been relinquished. As the freedom of the theaters grew, the power of the production code fell and in 1962 the production code was officially done away with and replaced with the ratings systems we now have. One producer in the documentary quotes Robert Graves by saying that "It's impossible for any artist not to be a part of his society even if he is against it" (Hollywood). Simply put, this means that as an artist, producer or director, it would be impossible, whether intended or not, to not mirror the society from which the art was created."

Abstract
This paper provides a discussion of censorship of literature for young adult high school students, including the recommendation that each school must develop its own clear, written policy that offers criteria for selection of works of literature for the high school curriculum.

From the Paper
"Where censorship of literature is concerned, each school must develop its own clear written policy for the selection of materials in the English language arts program that includes criteria for selecting materials for inclusion in English literature programs. During high school, students mature, develop opinions and begin the transition into adulthood. As Donna E. Norton explains, literature written for young adults usually has more mature themes and characters who face complex issues that may be faced by contemporary young..."

Abstract
This paper explores the issue of censorship by the U.S. government. The paper begins with a look at the first amendment and its significance for playwrights, directors and actors. Using specific plays that have aroused controversy, the writer shows what the opposition was and how the companies handled it. Finally the writer presents the debate on the responsibility of theaters, companies, sponsors and parents to know what they are viewing.

From the Paper
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceable to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances. (Cornel Law School) This is the first amendment of the United States of America; the first passage in the Bill of Rights. "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech" (Cornell Law School). That one little passage guarantees the right of any one to say what they think; to express themselves in any creative form. But in a world and country of so many different backgrounds, beliefs, morals, and thoughts what is decent and appropriate to one person is not to another, so how do we decide what can be said and shown on stage?"

Abstract
The author of this paper presents the argument for censorship on the internet, with a definite lean towards the negative side of the argument. The writer believes that those who try to censor the internet have in fact aimed their weapons at the wrong enemy. The paper explains the difference between the internet and the world wide web, with the internet being an older larger infrastructure and the www simply being a small part of its functionality. The writer therefore concludes that in fact it is not the internet which needs censoring but the aspects which belong on the web.

From the Paper
"The sides are divided unequally in the continuing debate over "should we, or shouldn't we?" And the choice of these two authors to argue against was based not because of the weakness of their arguments, or the irrationality of their defenses, but simply because they proved to be the least offensive of the readings offered in the particular section of the textbook."

Abstract
This paper discusses pornography and presents views for and against its censorship. The paper argues that, while anti-pornography activists have valid concerns regarding pornography's exploitative nature, to censor pornography would be an assault on free speech and the freedom of expression. Therefore, any attempt to curtail pornography would be unconstitutional.

From the Paper
"Currently, material that is considered "obscene" and pornographic is illegal both on the federal level and in over 40 states in the United States. Though it is difficult to create an all-inclusive definition, the United States Supreme Court has drafted three general criteria to determine whether a work or material could be considered pornographic. First, the work must meet the "average person" test. This states that an average person, applying the prevailing community standards, must find that the work as a whole appeals solely to the prurient interests. Second, the work itself should depict sexual behavior in a way that is "patently offensive." Finally, the said work must lack any other serious aesthetic or scientific value (Wein)."

Abstract
It focuses on Mill's ideas on eccentricity, and the dangers he saw in custom and the status quo. Mill believed that a society which encouraged individual liberty was ideal, in that it encouraged both driven individuals and those satisfied with the status quo (they inevitably exist, no matter what the nature of a given society is), to reach their maximum level of happiness. Mill's fundamental idea is that eccentricity among individuals is a key ingredient of genius. Society should not reign in an individual with different interests and passions to conform to mainstream principles. As for whether Mill would say this today, this paper will argue that there is still inherent value in Mill's thoughts on individualism and eccentricity. But it must be noted that our society is more individual-centered than ever, arguably to the detriment of the whole. His key phrase regarding the limitations of self-interest is, as long as it doesn't harm others. Who defines harm? Does individuality lead inevitably to selfishness - a condition in which one no longer respects harm done to others? We need only observe the media to observe murders, robberies and other terrorist groups to drive home this point.

From the Paper
"Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is an excellent example of the early/Romantic novel and it is the purpose of this paper to discuss two or three of the characteristics that link the novel with the Romantic form. The Romantic Movement was a result of a revolt against the Neo-Classic tradition. Instead of portraying great or typical characters, writers would seek out lowly and eccentric ones.

Eccentricity is certainly a mark of Pride and Prejudice, a portrait of the Bennet family with their five young women all eligible for marriage. It should be noted that Jane Austen was a contemporary of the Romantics though she is a child of the l8th century, particularly in its Neo-Classical aspect. So the novel might be considered as being influenced by both traditions. How-ever, because Pride and Prejudice has an essential realistic (and.."
