По­яс­не­ние. There are people who believe that children should choose books that they want to read for themselves. Others are convinced that some reading content should be censored and taken away from teenagers.

I have all reason to believe that adults should be aware of the books that their kids read. First of all, some ideas expressed in books may be dangerous for children or could be interpreted in the wrong way. We also shouldn’t forget that we live in the century of information and it’s not particularly good because some individuals use it in their own interest. Certainly, children should not be allowed to read extremist literature because in the young age kids are extremely vulnerable to manipulation.

Other people are convinced that teenagers should be allowed to read whatever they want. Such people say that kids shouldn’t be intellectually constrained. They also say that children have enough wisdom to grasp any ideas. They believe that democracy is the best politics in the world of books.

I cannot agree with the above opinions as these people fail to understand that there is a sort of books which could be potentially dangerous for young readers. Obviously, we should encourage teenagers to read and that is why there are thousands of high quality children’s books. But some propaganda material should be still prohibited.

There are two different points of view on the problem. I believe that children shouldn’t be allowed to read all books that they like because some of them are dangerous for inexperienced readers.
