Gale Virtual Reference Library topics

I researched my topic, censorship, on the Gale Virtual Reference Library and compiled the following ideas:

1) Censorship is not a settled issue.
2) Censorship is a legal issue.
3) Censorship is a moral issue.
4) Censorship is controversial.
5) US gov. has laws restricting content.
6) Science is often censored
7) Books are often censored
8) Usually self-censorship is deliberate, but not always voluntarily. Most true in suppressed countries.
9) Pornography is often censored.
10) Opposing political opinions in one-party countries are often censored.
11) Some people think speech, even under the First Amendment, can be limited.
12) Some forms of censorship are common
13) FCC censors TV and radio
14) Film is self-censored
15) Censorship is often a result of fear, both legitimate and not.
