Creative artists should be given freedom to express their ideas (words,
pictures, music, and films). However some people think that governments
should take some restriction with them. To what extent do you agree or
disagree with the opinion?
The responsibility of an artist is to create art works to cater for people's
needs for aesthetic pleasure and enjoyment. Some masterpieces by the
world-renowned artists like Shakespeare, the greatest poet in British
literature; Vinci, the most famous Italian artist, architect, and sculptor
impress people around the world deeply. From my point of view, the
government should not give restrictions to artists. On the contrary, their
creativity and innovation should be encouraged.
Creativity is the source of arts. The development of literature is a very vivid
illustration. From Classicism to Romanticism, from Renaissance to Realism,
from Humanity to Post-modernism, all the styles of literature reflect
people's thinking and have epoch-making significance. Suppose there was
only one style of literature. People would not appreciate so abundant poetry
and novels, and our world would become so monotonous.
Furthermore, restrictions on creativity will arouse tragedies, one of which is
burning books. A very good example of this is shown in a movie in which
the authorities of an imaginary society can not tolerate the content of literary
books and order the elimination of world masterpieces. However, the people
in that society memorize books in order to revive them in the minds and
hearts of coming generations. History proves that only when a government
encourages people to express their own idea and thought freely can their
country make progress and prosper.
Finally, I will quote a classic sentence from a famous article entitled Give
Me Liberty, Or Give Me Death by Patrick Henry, one of the greatest writers
in American history. He mentions: "I know not what course others may
take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
