Abstract
This project is about Censorship in television and movies: How it has changed throughout the years. This project will describe the past television shows and major movie productions’ use of nudity, profanity, and violence and what they did to protect censorship in our homes. This project will show that in our new day and age censorship is being pushed to the limit, the children of our nation will hear and see violence, profanity, and nudity through their lifetimes.
Information for this project was secured from various sources such as, books, internet websites, and government documents. Also, included with the project will be interview from various adults, seniors, and children so that they can explain their view on censorship.
This project intends to demonstrate that even though you trust you children to watch appropriate show we can’t help what comes on every channel.

The main purpose of this report is to learn and educate people of censorship over the years. Censorship is “the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body”. Many factors have influenced me and my partner to do our project on how censorship in American television, media, and films has changed over the years. Most of these influences come from lessons in our English I class about The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and many other classic novels
