Arts Effect On Society And Economy

By Freda Watts


Art can be said to have affected the society at large I a very positive way. These effects can be seen in four ways which include materially, culturally, economically, and finally socially. Many nations have it practiced by all the people from the young to the old. However, arts effect on society can be felt more when the children begin practicing it since when they are young. This is because they get the chance to grow with it till they are old enough.

Materially, art helps in so many ways as in boosting the expression tactics of an individual. If one for instance does perform poems, they internalize the art of self expression and this directly boosts their self esteem. Students in schools that are involved in drama activities are seen to be more confident than the others who are conservative and only stuck to their books. This clearly shows that art can decide the destiny of ones personal character.

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.

Very few people in the current generation can tell what their culture entails. For example the art of singing helps the people of this generation to have a clue of what their great grandparents used to sing. Through drama, equally everyone have the chance to see what type of dressing existed in their society before westernization.

Economically, art has shown that a country could benefit positively from it. Tourists really love traditional performances. They boost foreign exchange when they come into the country. The government of a country could boost its economy with this money and make such developments as road construction, for the tourists to get to the interior parts and receive the gift of art.

Cultural diversity is the social aspect that art offers. This is achieved by the multiple performances from variety of communities done by the artists. People get to find out different aspects that they did not at least know, about their neighbors.

It has also aided in making people get to work with each other. This is made possible when the people for instance acting are recruited from different areas. They therefore meet and are able to share different ideas that will help in the growth of art. It is therefore clear that arts effect on society is the core for the growth of both an individual and the nation as well.
