GP Task 2

I do not know how to appreciate art. I do not see the need to use nudity as a form of art. How artistic can nudity be? In my opinion, the only difference between art and pornography is how the audience sees it. What considered as art to one may arouse the sensual pleasure of another. To the latter, the form of art evolved into pornography. The definition of art varies for different people, hence it is impossible to regulate artistic media. What the censorship board consider to be pornography may face strong objections from the art-loving general public who wishes to appreciate the beauty and purity of nudity. However, if they lower their standards, conservative public will blame the censorship board for allowing such disturbing images to be seen. There is no clear line between art and pornography hence the censorship board will forever be blamed for the decisions they make, despite their noble aims to satisfy the wants of the people.

you've explained your take on this issue well.

but i think the task required you to examine the merits/demerits of censorship...
