Yes, I do believe films and televisions be censored for both adults and children. Children are expected to watch movies within their range and not are rated movies. Adults can withstand R rated movies and watch movies that are for kids, adults and even elderly people. But because children might be in the midst of adults while watching movies, like for example, family setting, my parents and the children, they want to watch movies and everybody’s like, we can’t watch cartoons, but we can watch movies that are rated 13. Now, we should be free to choose what we see, not really because we don’t know who is watching and where, when we might be watching movies and people or a kid might just walk in and be like, ah mom, I want to and they see something they’re not supposed to see, inappropriate things. We should not be free to choose what we want to see because what we see is an illusion of who we are and in such case, we can’t watch movies.

Yes, I do believe films and television should be censored for both adults and children. Children are expected to watch movies within their age range and not R-rated movies. Adults can withstand R-rated movies and watch movies that are for kids, adults, and even elderly people. However, because children might be in the midst of adults while watching movies, for example, in a family setting with parents and children, they want to watch movies, and everybody's like, we can't watch cartoons, but we can watch movies that are rated PG-13. Now, we should be free to choose what we see, but not really, because we don't know who is watching and where. A kid might just walk in and say, 'Mom, I want to watch,' and they see something they're not supposed to see, inappropriate things. We should not be free to choose what we want to see because what we see is an illusion of who we are, and in such cases, we can't watch movies.
