It is said that art is the best source to change people’s thoughts and perceptions. Now a days we can see violence everywhere. People are ready to kill others without any reason. People have forgotten the meaning of love and our more indulged in tasks that will promote hatred.
Sometimes I feel that art has played an important role in promoting violence. The youth watches those art pieces and assume it to be reality and then practices what he observed. The young generation is a great fan of action movies, which portrays fights and murders. And our younger generation (that is already a great fan of these movies) starts practicing these things that they observe.
I believe that now art must change its direction and instead of making violent movies/plays they must promote peace. When art can manipulate peoples mind and make them violent, so it also has the power to make them peaceful.
In Pakistan we have seen Shima Kirmani and Madeeha Guahar promoting peace through art. Art has the power to change the society and change the thinking of the people living in a society. When art have moved people towards violence it can take them back to peace as well. And this can bring peace to the people living in that society.
