Choose one case of work of art that became the subject of public debate and
controversy, and possibly, trial. Present the case and discuss arguments in
favor and against censorship. Determine your stance on the issue and your
judgment of this particular work.
Next discuss how does the fact that the work is morally problematic relate to its artistic success? Does it a)

popular.
