Censorship can never be justified. Do you agree?

I agree with the statement. By definition, censorship is the practice or system of censoring something that is normally considered offensive, morally harmful, or politically harmful.
Throughout history, as we human develop, the degree of censorship has significantly lowered and we are more ‘opened’. Take for example, television shows that are broadcast to the mass public does not censor away kissing scenes even though there is a high possibility of exposure to children.

Across the globe, different countries hold different values about the degree of censorship that should be imposed in their nation. This is mainly determined by the culture of its citizens because ultimately, the policies about censorship affect the way of life of the citizens.

In Singapore, a movie rated R21 is rated PG Taiwan. One good example is a lesbian movie, which has yet to be previewed. This movie is a production of Taiwan, and before it is previewed in Singapore, the movie will be sieved and selected scenes will be cut off, yet the movie is still rated R21. This clearly shows a big difference between censorship of two countries. Taiwan and Singapore belongs to Asia. Both countries are made up of mainly the Chinese and yet the difference can be worlds apart. This again shows that the degree of censorship has no boundaries to speak of even between countries with similar culture.
In conservative societies like Pakistan and Turkey, saying prohibited stuffs like the discussing of sensitive issues about religion can lead to attacks by extremists. The government is sometimes unable to control the after effects of the release any insulting remarks about any community. Hence, the government in such countries has to have a strict control over the mass media on every type of information released to the public.

Hence, these cases show that the degree of censorship actually depends on the people themselves. The culture will affect the censorship. Hence, there is no universal way of justifying censorship.
