Answer:

Plato said that artist and poet imitate nature whereas Aristotle is against this statement.

Explanation:

Plato said that artist and poet imitate nature through his art or in other words a work of art is a reflection of nature while on the other hand, Aristotle argues that a work of art does not imitate nature as it is or in other words a work of art is not a true reflection of nature. According to Plato, art has a positive effect whereas Aristotle says that art have no effect on our personality or life. Watching violence in films can greatly changed the personality of our children  because these violence can change the mindset and incorporate aggressive behaviour in our child's personality so watching violence is not good for our children.
