Writing Question-journal-assignment

There are many examples of revelations of wrongdoing, criminal activity, or unforgivable actions from different types of artists: actors, authors, musicians, etc. Michael Jackson was controversial because of the persistent accusations during his lifetime which persist after his death. The question I would like you to respond to (in 200 words minimum) this week is: Can you separate the artistic output from the person who created it? Why or why not? Are you consistent in this decision, or does it depend on each individual person or situation? Give an example of someone about whom you have had to make this decision. (Your example does not have to be limited to musicians.)

Here are a couple of different approaches to this question:
