Readers: Censorship effects them by forcing readers to have certain viewpoints or opinions. When books are censored they can not fully comprehend the meanings of a book. It is restricting their rights as American citizens. It is like viewing an incomplete puzzle. Censorship takes away readers first amendment rights. It blocks them from many different experiences and hinders their learning.
Writers: Censorship effects writers negatively. It takes away their talent that is put together in a book. It limits their creativity and expression. Writers may have to change what they wanted to say in a book so they won't fear that their book will be censored. It is not allowing the writer or artist to fully express who he or she is. It is taking away their right.
Publishers: Censorship effects publishers because if the author of the book they want to publish has offensive language, or racism, it may not get published. This causes publishers and authors to lose money. They may even have to convince the writer to change what they have written in fear of offending someone. Publishers are the ones who decide what goes to print. They must decide in the end if the material is worth the risk of losing readers.
Educators: Educators are effected negatively by censorship because they help shape our children's future. They have to be careful of what to teach so parents don't get offended. Censorship limits teachers on what they can use in the curriculum and how to use it.
Librarians: Librarians are trusted to help find certain material for people. They are required to fight censorship as best they can, but also must respect what the parents, administrators, and educators think. They should not allow what their own personal beliefs and opinions to effect what they keep in their library. Although, if teachers or parents don't agree with whats in the library the librarian almost feels pressured to take the book off the shelves.
