SHOULD BOOKS BE BANNED?
Christina Phillips
o Ever since I was young, reading has always been a big part of my life
o I feel as though reading helped my overall education and important
knowledge for lifeo Literature is a big part of our society
and our culture and it should be handled as such
WHY I CHOSE THIS TOPIC
• After the invention of the printing press shortly following, a censorship office was established
• Most of the people who were trying to get rid of certain books were composed of religious
groups
• As history continued books influenced and helped people achieve higher standards of
education. More knowledge and information was being spread at high rates.
RESEARCH
• Most books in fact are not banned, they are challenged. It is actually very hard to
get a book completely banned out of a library.
• There is a very long and tedious process to go forward with the steps of getting a
book reviewed and/or removed.• As a society we have adapted to handling
issues with books more professionally
RESEARCH
• The public has become more lenient with expression and exposure to content in books
• In the United States we have developed a way to prevent less conflicts and issues with content
in books
• Publishing offices are now required to have a committee review a book before it is published to decide on common issues about content and
where the book may be allowed
RESEARCH
• Finding non-bias information• Getting summaries on why
certain books were banned/challenged
• Being correct regarding the time events occurred in history
OBSTACLES
• Getting lots of perspectives and opinions on book banning and
censorship• Retrieving list of often
challenged books and authors• Was able to see a growth in fairly
justifying books through time
SUCCESSES
After learning about book banning and censorship, I wanted to find a
way to incorporate what I learned by encouraging and supporting
literature exposure to my community
LINK TO PRODUCT
My product
The project was a challenging and rewarding experience. It was very
worthwhile and important. It gave me a big task to get done and encouraged me to take responsibility and get involved in my
community.
WHAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE PROJECT
• I learned that I can very much handle carrying out an activity in a large setting by myself
• I make good ideas and plans, but need to be more motivated to make sure they get done in a professional
and timely manner
• I am very creative and preparing displays and events make me happy
WHAT I LEARNED ABOUT MYSELF
• I feel confident that the project will help me with similar assignments with college
level courses
• I have now learned the importance of planning and taking aggressive action
when incorporating others with projects I need to get done
HOW THIS WILL HELP ME IN THE FUTURE
