English 101 Should Artists Be Banned from Expressing Their Opinions? Alexander Berkman said, “The cure for evil and disorder is more liberty,not suppression.” We are guaranteed in the First Amendment of the Constitution the right to free speech. Just because an artist’s opinion may offend some,it is still their opinion and that opinion is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights to be heard,if so desired. People view artists as role models,and feel they should play the part of an altruistic figure. Being famous doesn’t make you invincible,as we all know. Everyone can do wrong,everyone can make mistakes,and everyone feels differently about all kinds of issues. Not everyone has to agree with an opinion for it to be played. Thats the beauty of America. We are able to think for ourselves. It is true that artists have always had a strong influence over people. Music is something you can’t ignore,and it plays a special part in everyone’s life. People have grown to respect,idolize and take pride in the artists and bands they love so much.
