Hi everyone, 

Here is my essay in response to the following topic.

""Creative artists should always be given the freedom to express their own ideas (in words, pictures, music or film) in whichever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what they do. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?"

Hope to receive your incisive comments.

Thanks a lot. 


Nowadays, art has been developing considerably and a at rapid pace. Therefore, it is of pivotal importance to have proper management on it. Yet, there still remains some disagreement as to whether creative artists should be given unlimited freedom to convey their ideas. While there are some valid arguments to the contrary, I would contend that the government should impose some restrictions on the content expressed by artists. 

At the heart of this matter is the fact that total freedom given to creative artists is likely to result in publishing of explicit and uncensored content which seems offensive in some cases. For example, "nude" photos seem to become trend nowadays which often go beyond orthodox value. When surfing on Internet, users cannot avoid seeing pictures of model or hot girls in partially or completely nude fashion. 

Equally important, though, is that society is susceptible to instability or chaos in case the content concerning political matters is not under inspection of the government. Indeed, the worst scenario can lead to uprising, civil commotion, riot. Take "Charlie Hebdo" shooting recent case as a typical example for this situation. Given the virtually complete freedom that the French government gave to its newspaper, Charlie Hebdo, which is satirical weekly newspaper, had been notorious for its controversial/contentious depictions of Islamic leaders and Muhammad. Eventually, in January 2015, its office witnessed a massacre ending the life of virtually a dozen of its staff of which the motive behind this barbarous act was believed to be due to the jokes insulting Islam. 

By way of conclusion, I once again reaffirm my opinion that creative arts should be controlled, but merely in a moderate manner so that creation will not be diminished or killed.
