Opposing Viewpoints Religious Beliefs
1,005 wordsCensorship, a controversial word that has been with us since who knows when. Ancient dictators would burn books because they didn't like them and force people to believe what he did.

Museum Of Art Freedom Of Expression
1,173 wordsWhat is art? Can it be defined in any single painting, or sculpture? Is it even something that can be seen, or does it have to be experienced?

Voter Turnout Campaign Contributions
