    Plato preferred censorship of art because he was concerned about art containing inappropriate or harmful messages that could endanger society, especially for children. Aristotle's concept of catharsis holds that experiencing strong emotions through art, even if fictional, allows people to release emotions in a healthy way and feel calmer. There is a paradox to fictional stories in that people can feel genuine emotions towards fictional characters and events, though they may be considered "quasi-emotions" since they are responding to imaginary rather than real situations. Morality and art are often linked as controversial art can provoke viewers' personal values and opinions, so artists should have consideration for how their work may be judged ethically.

    AESTHETICS - WHAT GOOD IS IT?

    1. WHY DID PLATO PREFER CENSORSHIP OF ART IN A SOCIETY?

    - Because Plato was concerned about the danger of art and needed it for the protection of the
    audience or society. Some art has an inappropriate message, display, or portrait that might be
    harmful or offensive and dangerous to the viewers or visitors, especially for children. When an
    inappropriate art is freely posted publicly without any censorship, people may find it in a negative
    way or sometime may find it immoral. That is why censorship is so important in art to prevent and
    protect society from harmful ideas and influence.

    2. WHAT IS ARISTOTLE'S CONCEPT OF CATHARSIS AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT


    TO HUMAN PERSONHOOD?

    - The idea of catharsis to Aristotle is that our bodies need to release the full range of emotions
    to abide in balance through art. The goal of catharsis is to effect a good change in the person's life
    in some way, by releasing powerful emotions and strong feelings through art, and this brings the
    audience feel good and calmer. Furthermore, the concept of catharsis allows us to experience
    strong emotions in that scenario, even if it is not happening to you.
    3. WHAT IS THE PARADOX OF FICTION? CAN WE HAVE GENUINE EMOTIONS
    OVER FICTIONAL STORIES AND CHARACTERS? OR JUST "QUASI-EMOTIONS"?

    - The paradox of fiction is our emotional response to fiction. It is psychological attitude that
    is concerned with imagination and reality on how our emotional response to it. We can have
    emotion to it, but I think it is not a genuine emotion or true feeling; it is more likely quasi-emotion
    the emotion that is generated not by existing belief, but in a fictional belief.

    4. SHOULD WE CONNECT ART TO MORALITY OR LEAVE THEM


    INDEPENDENTLY FROM EACH OTHER? EXPLAIN YOUR POINT.

    - Morality and art are frequently linked in controversial and upsetting art. Due to what is
    portrayed, such work provokes the viewer's or the artist's personal opinions, values, and morals.
    Because art is based on or influenced by personal feelings people usually give an ethical judgment
    to it. I think the artist should have consideration and be mindful in creating art.
