Censorship is the banning of public communication in the form of art, books, speech, or other ways of getting across an idea. This idea that is being communicated may be considered inappropriate to the population by the government, media outlet, or other body with control. A good example of censorship in USA is found on the news and on the radio. Words such as f**k and s**t are some of the words censored on broadcasts. Even I have to censor my words on this blog.  That is the most commonly seen form of censorship. Many T.V. stations such as MTV censor many of the words that are used in their reality shows.
