Social, political, and cultural developments
500 WORDS essay. The essay may be about how the economy has changed your work, how technology has had an impact on your career pursuits, why you decided to pursue your degree or other factors. Consider the cultural expectations from co-workers, friends and family, and your response to these expectations. You are not limited to this list, but may think of any external force and your internal action and personal response.
- Define one external factor that you believe has an influence on you. Introduce it and explain what it is and why you believe it is a good choice for investigation.
- Write about the impact of this external factor. Assess how you may have had to change to adapt, or how you have taken action in the face of external change.
- In Godin’s definition, art is about caring, creating change, and acting courageously. How might you do this in the future? Social, cultural, and political forces may cause you to change, but how have you been able to create a change that you direct?
These are additional instructions:
Author Seth Godin gives a definition of art that goes beyond the first impression of someone who paints, draws or makes music. In fact, you can engage in art whenever you aim to make a difference and share your potential. Thus, you can be an artist in customer service, manual labor, helping professions, or law enforcement. “An artist is someone who uses bravery, insight, creativity, and boldness to challenge the status quo. An artist takes it personally…Art is a personal gift that changes the recipient. The medium does not matter. The intent does. Art is a personal act of courage, something one human does that creates change in another (Godin, p. 83-84).” On this definition, your artistic expression may be pursuing your education, volunteering in your community, mentoring young people, or being the best parent you can be. The possibilities are broad.
The paper should conclude with a substantive and meaningful conclusion that restates the thesis and main points. Be sure to use and cite Godin’s quotation about being an artist in order to give credit and context for his idea. You are welcome to write this paper in the first person, since you are writing from your own impressions and experience.
