Art is what defines “people’s cultures, traditions, ideas, and moral responsibilities” (Cone 4). Good art ensures every person is contented with his or her society. Art creates the best bonds and associations among different social groups. Art also helps people embrace new ideas in order to make their societies prosperous. Every artist has a critical role to play in his or her society.
Artists such as “filmmakers, architects, painters, writers, composers, and musicians contribute a lot to the glory and pride of every society” (Cone 7). These artists support the best national ideas and traditions in order to make every society successful. The practice has supported better social bonds and civic cohesions.
According to Cone (14), “art helps individuals express their ideas, concepts, and feelings about the surrounding world”. Art is a powerful tool because it gives room for criticism and appreciation. Artists have always presented beautiful ideas and scenes that can make our societies successful. Artists can “encourage their followers to support the best activities and decisions in the society” (Cone 15).
Artists have encouraged many individuals in the society to work hard in order to realize their potentials. Artists have always given people better ideas and incentives. People can use these concepts and practices to achieve their personal goals (“Panelists Discuss Role of Art in Changing Society” par. 3).
Art helps people appreciate the power of criticism. People can use this practice to address every problem encountered in the society. Every society can use different works of art to make contextual, informed, and solid judgments. Artists use their works to portray the best moods, concepts, ideas, and feelings (“Panelists Discuss Role of Art in Changing Society” par. 5). Many societies have embraced the above ideas in order to achieve their goals. Every society should embrace art because it promotes peace and civilization.
