Censorship piece essay

This piece displays the act that free speech has become such an explosive topic in the eyes of many artists. The public is represented by the three young monks who resort to a "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" response to the violent blasts in the background. The background is present merely to provide contrast to the forceful impact of the blasts. Free speech has to be one of the most controversial Constitutional Amendments ever created. Countless people and organizations have gotten in trouble because of ideas or opinions stated that stepped beyond appropriate boundaries, but the argument that is always made is the fact that no one can change the Amendment, unless another was made that caused the "free speech" amendment to become null and void, plus all Americans are entitled to liberty, among other things. As a result, the public tends to shut out these discrepancies and accept whatever they believe is right. They will usually ignore the cacophonous events that take place as reactions to such a sensitive subject. No one wants to be the one who stands in between liberal demands for freedom to say and do whatever they wish, and the right to exercise discretion and censorship.
