Claim
Our morals limit knowledge that is conveyed through "unethical" methodology
Example: Zhu Yu had portrayed a very important message in his artwork, but due to its very grotesque method, many did not extract any knowledge
Morals are greatly influenced by emotion and affects our knowledge construction
Emotion causes us to be more subjective, and we cannot take an objective stance that hinders our knowledge construction
Counter-claim
Many knowledge are considered to be ethical, and thus one's moral does not affect how it is precieved

Scope and Application
Greatly depends on how the knowledge by the creator is applied
"Unethical" application
Example: The art work did have a good knowledge behind it, by the application was considered unethical, thus knowledge was not constructed by the viewers
"Ethical"Application
Art is used to gain new perspective on reality
One often ignores the very cruel knowledge due to morals, even if the information is true
Language/Concept
Art itself can be considered language: this language is very subjective
Subjectivity means emotion takes a huge part, which is connected with one's moral
Methodology
How knowledge and emotions are conveyed greatly influences the ability to give information
Example: Zhu Yu could have conveyed the same message through a painting, but he decided not to which greatly affected the conveying aspect
