How far do you agree with Plato's objection to freedom of expression and artistic liberty enjoyed by creative writers? Name the text ( Novelz, plays , poems , movies , tv soaps etc and which can be rightfully objected and banned with reference to plato objections )


 Plato's objection to freedom of expression stemmed from his concern that art and literature could have a negative influence on society, shaping the citizens' beliefs and behaviors. While understanding his perspective, it's important to note that modern societies generally value freedom of expression as a fundamental right.

However, discussions about limitations on certain forms of expression exist, particularly when it comes to explicit content, hate speech, or materials that may incite violence. Deciding what should be objected to or banned involves complex considerations of societal norms and ethical principles.

Plato's objections might be applied to works that promote falsehoods, undermine moral values, or potentially disrupt social harmony. Identifying specific contemporary works depends on individual perspectives, as interpretations of objectionable content can vary widely.

Plato's three main objections to poetry are that poetry is not ethical, philosophical and pragmatic. In 'The Republic' Plato condemns poetry (art) as cultivating evil habits and vices in children.

It's crucial to balance freedom of expression with responsible and ethical creation, considering the potential impact on society.
