Position:Home>General - Arts & Humanities > Artists and politics?Question: Artists and politics?do you think it's a good thing or a bad thing that some artists are involved in politics. Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Some 'artists' are as qualified as mathematicians, engineers,biologists,and academics to hold and proselytise a particular political view. However it seems that the term 'artist' is somewhat devalued these days (as is the term 'engineer'), and just because an entertainer gains some notoriety, does not suddenly elevate them to the status of philosopher. We all have opinions, but few of us are fortunate enough to have a hot-line to the press. |
