Is art a reflection of society or an agent of social transformation?

[codescript94]

Art is an agent of social transformation, as it can provoke emotions, questions, criticism and inspiration in people, leading them to change their attitudes and behaviors towards the world. Do you think art has the power to change society? What examples of art do you know of that have had this effect?

Art has an incredible power to touch people's emotions. Sometimes a single image or song can awaken questions that a person has never asked themselves. I firmly believe that art can change society because it touches the heart directly.

A good example is the songs of Bob Marley. They spoke of freedom and justice for ordinary people. Also, the poems of Shaaban Robert brought a spiritual awakening to East Africa. Even graffiti on the streets can bring a strong message about everyday life.

Art is not just decoration. It is the voice of people without a platform. It can inspire change even without noise. If you look closely, art teaches and touches in a way that books cannot. For me, it is a powerful weapon of peace.

Yes, indeed, an art is mainly focused on the country's culture. The artists can paint well on subject that relates to customs, traditions, and culture. They can also explore more famous painting subjects abroad.

I think art has the power to change the society if done well and the message is clear. Though i feel it is limited to only those who will appreciate it.
