What Is Censorship Of Nude Statues?

Censorship never really leaves the human race. What should be visible to the general public? What should not be? A continuous debate on what is vulgar or inappropriate. It’s a never ending cycle, since no one can ever agree. People always have contrasting opinions, which is ok in day to day life, but can end up posing issues in a time where decisions need to be made.

In this particular passage the author explains their opinions on the censorship of nude statues. In their eyes, they see nothing wrong with having a statue in their natural state and find it completely inoffensive. However, he acknowledges that other people may not view these sculptures in the same way as he.

This author’s tone in this passage is very respectful and open minded
to those who aren’t. Even though he believes that people who think nude statues are explicit are ‘intolerant’, he still respects their opinion. However, that is as long as the supposed ‘sensitive material’ is available to the general public who wishes to access it.

Today many people, generally feminists, believe that the human body should not be sexualized and it should be viewed just as it is, a body. This is particularly more directed towards females as their bodies are inherently more sexualized. Despite this, many people still believe that the human body, even in artistic sculptures, should be closed off and reserved for a more mature public.

The debate on censorship never really changes, the very subject on what should be reserved or not hardly changes! More often than not it is due to the supposed sexuality of the object. Many people still fight for the right to express the human body and more sensitive topics among the public crowd. Knowledge and visibility don’t have to be explicit, it merely nurtures the mind. Allow people who want to gather information and learn to do so.
