Arts Effect On Society And The World

By Freda Watts


The aspect of art has really had a positive effect in the society today. The effects are portrayed in four aspects namely materially, culturally, socially and finally economically. In many countries it is done by practically everyone. It becomes more helpful if it is practiced from a very tender age. Since the art will grow with the individual till they are mature enough. As a result, there are several arts effect on society.

In the material aspect, art has assisted in the expression tactics of persons. If for example one is specialized in the reciting of poems, they get to know how to express themselves and therefore their self esteem is also increased. If one checks well, the very outspoken students and the ones that feel confident about themselves are those that are involved with drama. Those that only study all through come out shy. This is an indication that character can as well be determined by art.

The communication skills of an individual is also boosted by art. It becomes very simple to pass a certain message, as harsh as it may be, but in a very soft way. The social network is thus created and interaction with very many people is made possible. This is clearly a plus for the arts men that the more reserved people would hardly get to have.

Art has helped culturally in the growth of the community's culture and thus the maintenance of their pride as well. Westernization has made many people to totally forget their culture. However others will always stick with their culture, the only challenge being the difficulty to spread it due to their number. Art now comes in in that the few left tell the arts men what their culture is, and what is left is for them to go out and aid in the spread of that culture though for instance the art of singing.

The 21st generation children hardly know what their culture entails. Artists use the art of singing to for instance at least give them a clue about how the songs back then were being sung. Drama also demonstrates the different types of dressing codes that were being used in the olden days and this clearly boosts the culture of these communities.

Art has helped in the economic growth of the countries that practice it. Many tourists are attracted to the performances that are mainly traditional. The coming of them to the country earns it foreign exchange. This money could be used to make better roads for the tourists to get to the interior parts of the nation and receive more that art has to offer.

Socially, arts help in the promotion of cultural diversity. This happens when the individuals performing do different performances from different communities. This helps the people to know about their neighbors too.

Through art many people have had the chance to work with one another. This happens in such a way that the recruitment of the artists happens in different places. After this they get to interact and since they have different ideas, they share them and help in the growth of art. This clarifies the fact that both an individual and a country as well will benefit from arts effect on society.
