Madonna still in vogue

Click HERE

Can the arts still entertain(i.e. bring joy and amusement) if they insult others' or your religion/race?

She is still ruffling feathers, just like in the 1980s...When she staged her first concert in Singapore in 2016, the content had to be altered, with religiously sensitive content removed...Several religious leaders have spoken out against the concert, including Archbishop William Goh, who had expressed the Catholic Church's concerns that Madonna's music and props were blasphemous and disrespectful to the Catholic and Christian faith.
Qn: 
1. Do the Arts have the power to bridge the social divide? (CJC Prelim 2018)
2. "The arts are more than just a form of entertainment.” To what extent is this true?
