Do communities of artists have a positive or negative effect on one another?

Try something along the lines of "The artist has often been depicted in literature as a mysterious loner whose creativity comes from deep within. However, throughout such works as "The Masterpiece," "Rent," and Hemingway's debt to Cezanne, a very different image appears. In these three works, the individual artist benefits from the community he is in."

Art is in the forefront of our political attitudes.  Artists express emerging opinions in their work, usually long before politicians are aware a problem exists.

It does, with it's New Order offshoots. I really don't mind though, I'm 32 so it's interesting to see things come around full circle. The artists are little more talented now, but there isn't the edge there that attracted me so much when I was 14.

It depends, if you are attempting to get someone to lean to one side, or agree with your beliefs or ideas then it would be biased and therefore negative propaganda. If the cause is for something that benefits everyone and the message is delievered in a peaceful way, that would be positive I would say.

There might be a difference between informed "crowds" consisting of collections of statements from individuals cross-checking on each other and "mob rule" where in an emotionalized crowd everybody leaves thinking to the others, leading to the saying "the IQ of a mob is the lowest individual IQ of the crowd members divided by their number".\n\nThis medium doesn't appeal to the belly but to the brain. Most people who participate do so out of goodwill, so there generally is a greater weight on cooperation than fierce competition. There is also some delay in interaction, which gives time for thought. I think that and some sort of codex by the participants is what makes collaborative efforts so fruitful.

It is true that people tend to have an affinity for people who are like them, so that may explain why careers tend to have certain groups associated with them.  \n\nJust because people may have the same background, does not mean that they will necessarily think the same way.

They can be both a positive and negative influence to a culture.  It all depends on what side you're on.  As long as they are focused on the needs of others, they are usually fine, but if their desires are only for the embetterment of themselves, they can be a problem.

Different people will view it in different ways. Some people will dislike the artist because they will assume that they are bad because their song got banned while other people will want to hear it to see what the fuss is all about. It would probably have a positive affect on their career as any publicity is good for them, even if it's bad publicity.

Not usually.  Adam and Eve in art usually take on the characteristics of the artist's culture; this is probably true in the minds of most believers.  It would be interesting for an artist to depict two simians trying on clothes, say, with puzzed yet shamed looks on their faces.

I'm a musician by profession. Playing or listening to good music can do wonders. Also, when you're fortunate to have a good friend around you, then in sharing your experiences and emotions, a larger %tage of your problem(s) are solved. Guess we can be friends (you and I), then, you'll understand my points.

DOING THINGS THAT AFFECT YOUR COMMUNITY IN A POSITIVE WAY

Is it working at an office or the crowd that comes along with it that is bothering you?  If it is the former, than try a job in academia or the arts.  I can't help you with the former--I don't work in an office.

Nope.\nTo see people, period, coming together is a great thing. It's changed so much over the past few decades...and will continue too. It's a beautiful thing!

Artists are only skilled in one area whereas average people have enough common sense to do all unspecialized things. Artists won't make the best choices because their minds are elsewhere. Artists don't have the common sense most average people have.

Depends on how you define "Hip Hop". As a culture, there are positive and negative aspects, as with all cultures. As music alone, any answer is subjective and would be subject to interpretation by each individual's experience.  Hip hop music may be "uplifting" to some, yet not others.
