Censorship: Opinion 
Governments can censor what public sees or reads in the media 
To a certain extent censorship is necessary 
We should use censorship to protect children from violent images 
Some computer games involve killing people or committing crimes 
The Internet also needs to be controlled 
Many websites show pornography and violence 
There should be age limits for websites and computers games 
Parents need to take responsibility for checking what their children watch 
It is impossible for governments to control everything we see

Smart cards will have benefits and drawbacks

It would be easier for police to identify people and catch criminals 
Smart Cards: Negatives 
Many people are worried about losing their privacy 
Governments could store all our personal and medical information 
This information could be used by insurance companies 
Employers could check our health records

People with disabilities should be treated the same as everybody else 
They should have the same rights as other people
