to exhibit." 
GRE AWA Analytical Writing ISSUE Essay Sample 
Solution - 155 
People of a nation are given some fundamental rights which are necessary for their survival. It 
becomes the prime responsibility of the citizens of any nation to exercise their rights and duties 
with utmost care. People in a country are free to say, write and do as they please but it should not 
be harming the interest of any other individual. The same applies for a museum that wishes to 
exhibit the artistic work or historical displays. In such matters government plays a vital role as 
government has the right to censor any objectionable or obscene display of any form of art in 
museums. I believe that the government should censor all artistic works or historical displays 
that need to be displayed to general public. The government is not only responsible for securing 
the rights of its citizens but also for what it needs to present to the citizens as it can also violate 
law. 
A country's government, which has vast cultural differences, needs to be very discreet in its 
public display of any kinds. Museums are the places which all sections and strata of people visit 
for recreation. The displays made there should be carefully selected as they should not harm the 
sentiments of any section of the society. A government not only protects the interest of people 
but also prosecutes those who harm the interest of the others. The government has to take active 
part in all the matters concerning the interest of general public. If any artist wishes to present his 
thought through his paintings but his paintings harm the interest of a section of a society then 
such a display can not be permitted by government. Similarly if any historical display which a 
museum needs to display is extremely precious then it becomes the vital responsibility of the 
government to save such a possession. 
Although the government should be concerned about what is been displayed in the museums but 
the government should not have a very strict approach towards such displays. In country where 
there are vast cultural difference if the government officers favor a particular community then 
they would consider their interest with priority but this certainly does not mean that they would 
not take into consideration the interest of other communities. Government should be consulted 
for the decision but the artist should also be able to make his point clear on his displays. The 
endeavors should be made on the part of government to keep some qualified people in the 
museum who can help people understand the display better without any misinterpretation or 
confusion. 
Therefore the role of the government should be vital. The government should also take into 
consideration the interest of the artist who wishes to display his creation for public or any

historical display by any organization. The interest of the general public should also be taken into 
notice by the government while making any such decisions.
