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 governments restrictions on what they do. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

BODY:

Art and literature represent that whether one country possesses a civilized cultural standing. That is the reason why some people think that creators should produce works under the circumstance without any restriction. Increasingly however, others consider that those works always transcend the moral codes and need some schemes to manage this phenomenon. In this essay, I will examine some of the arguments for and against whether governments should interfere artists as well as their works.

From ancient times, Art and literature play an important role in the process of one country development. Take Renaissance for example, it claims free creation without any restraint and emphasizes the feelings of people. Undoubtedly, we indeed appreciate many masterpieces from the period of Renaissance. Furthermore, it affects art and literature profoundly and also brings the advance of the arts. Thus, governments should support artists rather than restricting them.

On the other hand, both the arts and pornography lack of clear definition. More precisely, some genres, such as films, literatures and painting frequently exceed the standards of moral, which affect the thought of audiences even cause criminal behaviors. That is to say, it is of vital importance that authorities should institute proper censorship as well as classification, which not only protect underage children but also promote the quality of arts.

In conclusion, I agree that artists definitely need a ample space which help them create great masterpiece. Yet I am fully convinced that appropriate censorship and classification are necessary. It will continue to benefit every audience as well as the field of art and literature.
