Censorship in today's society has progressed to such an extent that almost everything is censored, from television shows, songs, letters, books , up to almost everything. How to prevent these “inappropriate or harmful” comments from being publicly visible has outlived its purpose and been overused. In Fahrenheit 451 he depicts a world that has censored itself from reading books and the government forbids them in order to intentionally control its citizens and prevent them from living differently. Citizens live in an alienated world where their form of communication and reality is that of their television. Today's society, in much of the world, is austere compared to the rest of the world, having different forms of technology as a form of socialism. Nowadays, these are ways for people to express their ideas about certain books that they consider inappropriate, offensive, unsuitable for a certain age group, unrealistic, etc. and to ban or challenge books. If it is banned, it is technically “forbidden” to read, so they are removed from library shelves and schools. The challenge is only an attempt to restrict certain materials, but may be banned later ("Top"). From 2000 to 2009, 5,099 challenges were reported (“Top”). 5,099 books that people considered shameful and wanted them removed from library and school shelves so students couldn't read them. What some of these parents or teachers don't know is that they are depriving students of their freedom of choice and the right to do what they want. Parents censor books read by students for unnecessary reasons, so that the student does not get insight into different materials and does not believe in unrealistic situations. In Fahrenheit 451, the parents of our society are the government of theirs. They ban books and make it a crime so society can't read them. Instead of offensive language or violence, the government of Fahrenheit 451 bans and burns them because they give citizens a glimpse of a different world that they don't live in. Montag wants to read the books to gain knowledge about the world and how things happened. but he would break the law and ultimately be punished for it. The government in Fahrenheit 451 and the parents of our society today restrict the freedoms of citizens to do what they want. They ban and protest for the simple purpose of not wanting society to be fixed on something unrealistic or unacceptable in the real world. Parents in our society are our firefighters because they remove books they don't like so their children or other students don't..
