I agree, because reading books benefits everyone of all ages. Reading increases common sense, and knowledge. Toddlers read picture books to understand the basic concepts of things, whilst older people read to build up knowledge, or just as favourite pass time. Vocabulary and literature skills are gained whilst reading books.

I partially agree because with censorship, some questions that shouldn't be asked aren't, but it also takes away freedom and rights. Censoring in films, magazines, TV, and on the internet are good, because it keeps the bad things away from younger eyes, but sooner or later they have a right to know. Parents are obviously for censoring as it stops their children from learning things too early, and the wrong way. Censorship that offends peoples rights is bad, and shouldn't be allowed. Reality being censored just makes people more naive, and unprepared for life.

Literature can be dangerous, but not all the time. It can reveal things that shouldn't be revealed, and rile emotions. A piece of literature can influence somebody to do something dangerous, for not only themselves, but the people around them. Literature may also offend people, starting debates and even war.
