A critically acclaimed movie that had received a number of awards opened in a small town. The film had portrayals of nudity and

scenes involving sexuality, but its advertising was very tasteful and concentrated on its critical acclaim and its receipt of seven Academy Award nominations. Nevertheless, when the movie opened in the small town, there was a public outcry against it, including picketing. The town, which had been founded in the late nineteenth century by a fundamentalist religious group, remained very conservative and highly religious, and was the only community in the state where a consensus of the community would find the movie to be obscene. The town prosecutor went to the local court seeking an injunction to halt the showing of the movie. The theater owner refused to voluntarily stop showing the film and appeared in court to defend against the proposed injunction.What is the owner's best defense?A The proper "community standards" should be those of the entire state rather than of the town.B The film has some redeeming social value.C The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment prevents the state from enforcing a particular set of religious beliefs.D The film has proven artistic merit.

Answer:

D The film has proven artistic merit.

Explanation:

In united states, the right to fully express ourselves through  is protected by the Article 10 of the Human Rights act. This expression cover all form of artistic creation as long as they do not infringe other people's right.

By claiming the film has proven artistic merit (proven by several awards), the owner of the theater could be protected from the religious group to show the film in his place of business and he can sue the religious group in case they dare to do something destructive during the business operation.

EXAMPLES OF ADAPTATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS
Anna [14]

Answer:

Examples of Human Adaptation

Diets are an example of human adaptation because the food available depends on the geographical area where humans live.

For example, the Inuit eat a lot of seal and fish because those are the most abundant sources of food in the artic, while the Mediterranean diet is abundant in fruits and vegetables because the climate of the Mediterranean is warm, and many crops grow there.

Examples of Human  Modification

Aqueducts are a form of human modification. They are physical structures used to carry water from one place to another, and they can be built above ground or underground. The Romans were famous builders of acqueducts.

Examples of both

Wells are like a rudimentary aqueduct. They are digged in the ground to obtain water from underground sources, and represent both a human adaptation and modification at the same time.
