The Common Sense Alternative Media And Censorship

By Miranda Sweeney


There is an agency working to assure that all media is age appropriate. The Common Sense Alternative Media and associated website provides parents a plethora of information. Often the organization may recommend alternative programming based on current popular titles. At others, programming can be edited to create a "clean" version without the drugs, sex and violence found in the original.

An organization whose mission is to educate, advocate and rate different types of media aimed at children, teens and young adults. The organization saves parents a lot of time by providing a number of editorials and reviews about different movies and shows on the website. There is also a blog on which parents and educators can communicate directly related to any issues going on at home or school that might be interfering with grades or learning as a whole.

A website provides a great wealth of information, including an "Editor's Pick" section. There is also a topics section which covers important topics of the day like "bullying, " and other issues. The section also host the information on privacy and social networking etiquette.

Videos provide insight into movies in theaters and those available on Netflix and other rental sites. Advice and educational videos are available on a number of topics upon request. A parents and educator blog provides a space for educators and parents to discuss any issues which may be of concern.

The organization became well known after having been in the news related to the leak that Congress wanted to take over the internet. Whether true, or not, talking about government intentions in public with an individual or group is never a good idea. One reason this is the case is because there could be others listening to the conversation.

Censorship is, has and always will be a controversial issue. It is also an issue based on personal preference. When moving into the space of other human beings, it is still nice to be polite. Most often, one of the primary complaints is against people using bad language. If people can start behaving appropriately when in crowds of mixed age, size and race, it would be a far better world.

When it comes to children, the overall health and well being of the children is what matters most. Parents are responsible for seeing to it that children when in mixed company are well behaved. After the age of twelve, it is often necessary to determine fault based on a review of the actions and people present at the time.

When a child lives in harmony and balance with body, mind and spirit, most often the child is a healthy one. A child needs the guidance and direction of the parents to assure proper behavior in school and society at large. A plethora of documents on the internet can provide some great ideas on how to reward positive behavior while overlooking negative type behaviors in teens and younger children. Most who have rare but necessary parental attention and love grow up to be outstanding members of society.
