However still today the doubt of this accident was not solve. why the ferry was sink, why the government evade fact finding and so on. So people was angry that the tears was lie. They blame 박근혜 on the internet, SNS and so on. September 16th in cabinet meeting, 박근혜 said " The blame is excessive so need censoring media". still today whether the rumor that government censoring media is true or not. I think that's the very interest and important problem in South Korea. I argue that government should not censor the media.
Everyone knows that media is very important. before I write some reasons why the government should not censor the media, I explain background of media especially in history and role. In 1971 The first email was delivered and in 1995 blogging begins, in 2010 population of Internet users was 1.97 billion. That was almost 30 percent of the global population. in 2013 Facebook user total climbed to 1.11 billion. Twitter had 500 million registered users, with more than 200 million active. in 2014 About 25 percent of the world's total population uses social media, while three-quarters of the online population uses one or more social networking sites. Like this media have developed very short time but almost people use media. Also the media have very varying role. fist Entertainment : The original idea behind the creation of various ‘media means’ was to entertain masses. Radio, TV, cinemas and magazines spend most of their resources targeting on entertaining items and programs. Because of the growing population and developing lifestyle, the demand for more entertainment is increasing. Every year billion of dollars is traded in entertainment industry. second, News & Current Affairs: One of major duties of media today is to inform the people about the latest happening around them and the world. They cover all aspects of our interest like weather, politics, war, health, finance, science, fashion, music, etc. The need for more and more news has evolved into creation of dedicated TV & radio channels and magazines. People can listen, watch and read latest news whenever and wherever they want. Third, Political Awareness Media is the overseer of the political system. If it plays its role honestly, it will be a great force in building the nation. It plays a great role in bringing common man close to their leaders. The media focuses in bringing details of all major political situations, decisions and scenarios. Hence people can better understand their rights and make better decisions. education, public announcements, advertisement and so on.
So now I tell you reasons why I argue that government should not censor the media.
first. the censoring media can be the fight. today as I mentioned everyone can use media and talk anything with their friends and family. They have the right to talk anything that is freedom of speech. After Internet was made, people can find any information that they want. And After SNS was made, people can communicate with very varying people. those means that people have more accessibility about anything even politics. This situation, If government try to hide some facts or censor the media, people must be angry and that become riot. for example in Iran which is censored the media, a riot arises in 2002 and 2003.
second It can be invasion of privacy.
Everyone don't want to show the messages that I talked with my friends especially that is blame. but in Korea, ridiculously the president didn't want to see or listen that people blame her So censor the media(kakao talk) and punish them who spread the rumor about SeWol ferry accident and president. If the government show some kakako talk, that is obviously invasion of privacy.
last the censoring reason is not logical.
Of course the blame other people is not good thing but the president promised that she reform all of things and trace the truth with tears. but until now even though the bereaved families go on hunger strike, the government didn't say a word. and in this situation, the president said "the blame is excessive so need to censor the meida" that can't be the reason.
However some people believed that censoring media is not that bad. because it can prevent the harmful advertisement to people such as smoking and drinking. If government do not censor those, people are always exposed that harmful advertisement and finally that can be bad effect to people.Also that is really important that prevent harmful effect to children.Like TV or internet, there are so many things that children can learn bad thing like sex or violent. Actually most of children learn wrong information through the internet or TV. So some parents want to censor the information that is agree to censor the media in positive aspect.
Of course these are all true. but think about if government have the ability that censor the media, they only censor those things? In South Korea,박근혜 want to censor the media only she don't want to hear any blame to her not curious about harmful effect on people. It is very dangerous thinking that give the ability that censor the media government. If government censor the media It can be invasion of privacy, and we lose the right that freedom of speech. So government should not censor the media even that has some good points
If government censor the media, that is to back to the past. We can't talk lightly with our friends. We always keep silence. If government does not ready to get any blame that is not the real government. that is dictatorship.. there are really famous saying "All power comes form the citizen. so the citizen is the country" So now I want the government to know these things, now do their best so do truth ascertainment not censor the media.
