In a totalitarian state, where juridical norms strongly impregnated politically are institutionalized, while in a democratic state the restrictions are mainly financial, but what is generally accepted as valuable depends on the taste of the wider public (whose taste may seem quite dubitable at times).Because the work of art is in my opinion the product of human beings as social beings, it is affected by the social environment where it appears and where it is broadcasted or published, and it is influenced by the more or less legitimate juridical norms of the state.Obtaining individual happiness is an extremely complex, which implies "a subjective situation of absolute contentment regarding one's own needs and desires, and the subject can see any desired thing as something absolute, so as something absolutely satisfying, no matter if an object is as such in itself.[...]the subject can be happy for an infinity of things (money, power, sex, food etc.), and we can call happiness the situation when one possesses such things, except for the situation when one realizes afterwards that one's happiness is only apparent because the object of one's desire was overestimated" (Craiovan 2010, 422).[...]the 3rd paragraph states that "the States Parties to the present Covenant undertake to respect the freedom indispensable for scientific research and creative activity".Gustave Flaubert wrote in his letter addressed to Louise Colet on the 22nd of September 1853 that the external environment did not offer him anything anymore and that he had to keep one's head dipped into his writings "just like a mole".Because of their open opposition and denial of the concessions that many writers made toward the requests of the market which meant renouncing on literary exigencies and style in favour of gaining social privileges, Gustave Flaubert and Charles Baudelaire realised "the progressive affirmance of the autonomy of the writers" (Bourdieu 2012, 91).
