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 in the growth of the culture and pride of a community. Many at times westernization makes the people forget about their culture totally. Art comes in handy when the few that are left to guard their culture need to spread it but they are not able. The artists come in and are taught about the different things that the culture entails and go out there and spread it even in the form of songs.

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.

In the social aspect, art has boosted cultural diversity. This is made possible by the performances done by the same artists but from different communities. One would find out more about the people that they co-exist with.

People have had the chance to work with each other through art. This occurs when the artists are recruited from different parts of the country but work at one place. It helps them get to know each other and promote the growth of art through the sharing of ideas. It is therefore a fact that through arts effect on society, both an individual and their country have their own share of benefits.
