Hey, everybody! I'm doing a survey for one of my college classes. If you could answer this bunch of questions for me, it'd really help me out. There aren't that many, and most of them are just a number from 0 to 5. Also, if you're not comfortable disclosing your age online, please just PM me your answers. It's important for the statistics and whatnot.
Now, for each one, just put a number from 0 to 5, 0 being strongly disagree, 5 being strongly agree.
1. Censorship is necessary.
2. Freedom of speech is necessary.
3. The current censorship laws should be more strict.
4. We need more censorship.
5. America needs more censorship.
6. Censorship is effective.
7. Censorship in movies has increased.
8. Increased censorship in movies is needed.
9. Censorship in music has increased.
10. Increased censorship in music is needed.
11. Censorship in cartoons has increased.
12. Increased censorship in cartoons is needed.
13. Censorship in television has increased.
14. Increased censorship in television is needed.
15. What do you think might improve censorship? (optional essay, for instance, suppose a universal rating system were employed)
16. What age group are you?
a. Under 18
b. 18-29
c. 30-39
d. 40-49
e. 50 and up (psh, yeah right)
Feel free to talk about how you feel about censorship, too. Hope you all can help!

You might want to reword this, dude, since one of the biggest problems surveys can have is the way a question is written can affect the answers people give. I mean, in the first two questions you're basically asking people to choose between freedom and censorship, which is probably a bad choice of words since they're pretty loaded and censorship especially has very negative connotations, so you might get different answers than if you'd expressed the same questions in a different way.

Also this is a biased survey to begin with since gaming world pretty much hates how everything awesome gets censored so... yeah...

more interesting question:
What do you weigh more heavily, freedom of speech or individual privacy?

Sorry, I know the survey isn't exactly perfect, but I'm kinda stuck with it. The other members of my group are using the same one, so I couldn't change it without nullifying all their results. We're also on something of a tight schedule, so we don't have enough time to make alterations. Good advice, but I can't use it.
