COMPARISION of GLASSER s ARTISTIC FREEDOM A GATHERING STORM with ATWOODs PORNOGRAPHY
Ira Glasser as a member of "ACLU" which is an organization that defends the rights of the individual, is against all kinds of censorship, especially censoring artworks. ... But more importantly Glasser states that the idea that somebody elses decision will restrict his choices -the music he likes to hear, the books he wants to read for instance- is unacceptable. ... ) it should not be censored because it is just the opinion of the artist and censoring art with some uncertain criterias or even with certain criterias is an act against freedom of self-expression. Maragaret Atwood is in favor of censoring pornography. Because she is a woman and because there is a common belief that most women dont like sex -because it is what men think of all the time- she can be misunderstood, not to fall for bias it must be explained entirely what she means by pornography.
