In this 20th century, our society has become more and more boisterous.
Many of us are haunted by the need of authority and approval which arouse
racism and the lack understanding of equality and humanity. If this is not
taken properly, our society will forget its core identity as a human-consisted-
society thus it will cause segregation. However, as the part of todays
society, we can control our self to not just stay in our comfort zone by
reading literature and creating an artwork as literature and art have a huge
part in shaping our perspective to perceive and face todays society.
Another issue that is common in our society is that certain society may
abandon the innate role of reading literature and creating an artwork
because they are considered disadvantageous for the society because of
sensitive reason. The society considering their prejudice and stereotype is
not corresponding with the story in certain literary works may consider that
reading the literary work is a disgrace. The irony, setting, lessons and other
aspects founded in the literary work can lower their self-worth because it
hurts their heart. Moreover, a sensitive stereotype about art is also
indoctrinated in the society. Many people consider art as a disgrace, they do
not like many artist because they assume that those artists represent
uncertainty, madness, and fault. They think artist and writer will not have
valuable future, and they will only cause segregation in the society because
most of the artist and writer are very critical. However, by being very critical
and express it through art and literature, we can know the importance of
equality and the power of humanity because we already know how hurt is to
be underestimated and to be misbehaved. Thus, we can humanely socialize
with other people within our society.
The value of reading literature and the power of expressing our feeling
and critique through art can always be taken for granted endlessly as they
portray and guide the society. We are always able to find value from the
literary work and artwork as we find beauty in our bad day. From a story
which is considered the worst, or the story which suits us well, literature can
always be our guidance and wisdom in facing todays society. From a
pleasant artwork, until an abstract artwork, art can always be the best
remedy for our stressed society. Both art and literature can be our best
getaway in this universe.
