Professor Diaz
We’ve been discussing how different art forms affect people and communities. Consider these specific examples: protest songs that motivate people to join movements, murals that bring communities together, or movies that change how people think about important issues. Some people argue that art creates change by making people aware of problems and motivating them to act. Others believe art simply shows what already exists in society without actually changing anything. Which view do you agree with. Why?
Kelly
I believe art has the power to drive social change. At many times in history, protest songs helped unite people to support important causes, while political cartoons exposed corruption and motivated voters to demand better leadership. Art doesn’t just show problems; it gives people emotional reasons to care and practical ways to take action for justice.
Claire
I think art mainly reflects society by showing us what people experience and observe in their daily lives. Artists create paintings, songs, and stories based on their personal experiences and cultural backgrounds. While art can sometimes inspire people to think differently, its primary role is to document and preserve the current state of society for future generations.
