Definition, April 30, 2007

Kanji is one of characters in Japanese which express not only sounds but also meanings. Even though some Kanji letters may have the same sound, each Kanji letter only carries one meaning, so the use of it totally erase misunderstandings. It’s poles apart with other characters, Hiragana and Katakana which can cause misunderstanding since they only express sounds but not the meanings. The example can be seen in the word こっき (kokki) which is written in Hiragana. In this way, without knowing the context, reader may get difficulty in understanding the meaning as こっき has two meanings, flag and sacrifice. However, when the word is written in Kanji, the meaning can be understood easily even without context. When it is written as 国旗 , it means flag; and when it is written as 克己 , it means sacrifice. For that reason, Kanji is commonly used in literature.

Model of an argumentative essay

Creative artists should always be given the freedom to express their own ideas (in words, pictures, music, or film) in whatever way they wish. There should be no government restrictions on what they do. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
[The above line is the task set by the IELTS for Writing Task 2. The following is the essay. Watch the organization of ideas!]
===============================================
An opinion maintains that absolute freedom should be given to artists in order for them to explore artistic potentials as fully as they can. Government should not interfere with this intention, and should let these artistic geniuses explore things and do things as they wish in the name of the beauty of aesthetic expression. Such view, in my personal opinion, should not be encouraged. I present below two main reasons why I disagree with this opinion (= THESIS STATEMENT = inti dari argumen.)

First (transition signal), absolute freedom does more damage than good. This is true with everything, including arts. If artists have unlimited freedom in their hands, they will break some social boundaries which have been keeping order in the society. Nude poses, for example [include example], while undoubtedly constitute a pure expression that an artist would like to display, will stir chaos if performed in front of the public with strict religious codes.

Secondly, unlimited freedom may in some cases endanger the artists themselves. If they go far beyond the line of safety, they will expose themselves to risks, which may range from injuries to death. Some years ago a female artists plunged to her death when performing a happening act intended to protest the building of skyscrapers in a section of New York city [illustration]. Had the police successfully prevented her from doing that dangerous jump, the artist would have been still alive. Thus, to some extent, the role of government in limiting some aspects of life will also benefit artists.

In short [transition signal for concluding], freedom is of course important but it should always be exercised to a safe limit. The limit should be such that while it permits creative expression to flourish among artists, it still protects the public rights for enjoying decent artistic show and keeps the artists safe.
