"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." - Lao-tzu


The Extended Project Qualification is a lengthy piece of research which not only assesses the final product but the total process. To document my journey I have created a blog, ensuring that I set myself tasks and show a clear sense of development. My title is as follows:

"SHOULD ART EVER BE CENSORED BY LAW?"

KEY RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
To make my question easier to digest I have created some areas of focus, allowing me to come to a considered conclusion.

·      What is art?
·      How influential is art?
·      How can it be detrimental to society?
·      Does society have the right to censor certain forms of art?
·      Who has the authority to impose such censorship?
·      When/where has art been censored in the past? What were the consequences?
·      Would censoring art be a breech of freedom of speech and consequently impinge on our human rights?
