Creative artists should always be given the freedom to express their own ideas (in words, pictures, music or films) in whichever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what they do.

To what extend do u agree or disagree with this opinion?

No doubt that creativity and imagination are the pivotal parts of any masterpiece, regardless of what form it is. While many people contend that artists should be granted freedom to convey their thoughts and ideas to the public, others reject this notion, believing that there should be some limitations imposing on this act. Personally, I am of mixed opinion on this.

On one hand, freedom in art offers many benefits to citizens. Firstly, it encourages artists to devote themselves to their career. As a consequence, a nation’s culture will thrive if composers, musicians, poets and so on are able to express their perspectives freely. This diversity, in turn, will help protect national identity from cultural invasion, which is becoming a widespread concern in this day and age. Secondly, without government restrictions, numerous social problems could be adressed directly. Apparently, civilians have not recognized many adverse trends and sensitive issues in modern society, ranging from domestic violence, abortion to same-sex marriage, corruption. Therefore, artists, in a way, can raise public awareness about these phenomenons through their work.

On the other hand, art censorship also needs implementing due to several reasons. A plausible reason in favour of this is that freedom may lead to deterioration of traditional values. The fact that artists use a number of inappropriate elements such as nudity, violence, sexual contents which may be seen as taboo in some cultures, could be taken as an example. Additionally, legislation on art should be supported in the fear of social instability. In some particular cases, terrorists use art as a tool to spread anti-government propaganda. These detrimental campaigns are likely to blind people and pose a threat to the society as a whole.

All things considered, although freedom for artists is beneficial in many dimensions, I firmly hold the view that it is problematic itself and art censorship thus should be taken into consideration.
