Arts Effect On Society And Economy

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.

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.

At has proved to be helpful in terms of communication skills. People get to learn how to reduce the harshness of their message and pass it in a more diplomatic way. Individual social network is thus boosted and the individual gets the chance to meet more people. The advantage comes in where their chance to meet more people is increased than that of the very quiet people.

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.

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.

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.

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.
