131"The arts (painting, music, literature, etc.) reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."

lynnuanaUID: 2772328

Art is everywhere at every time. It is a mirror to reflect reality, including revealing the concealed ideas, and in the meantime, expose impulses of the society unconsciously. Yet some limitations of art itself could not be neglected when considering its reflection and promotion to the society.

For centuries, amounts of great works of art have been created and come down due to their spirit of the realism. From ancient Greek theatre to rap music, from the rock painting to the graffiti, from the national epic to the popular fiction, the concepts—even hidden ideas— of a society are ubiquitously contained in various styles of art. Then why does art has the ability to reflect the subtle hidden ideas of the society? The artists would be one reason. People in any levels and status could probably become an artist. The variety of the art creators would bring about various kinds of ideologies which are mirrored in their artistic works. For supporting examples one need look no further than the artists in the Renaissance, which is a great cultural movement with a billowing social revolution. According to the reliable historic documents, some of the "Renaissance man" come from noble families, some are the descendants of merchantmen or magistrates, some are landowners and some are even merely apprentices. Different backgrounds benefit the artists with particular nutrition from their own social experience and finally propel the transform of the whole society. Another reason is the sensitive and emotional feature of art itself. For instance, the literature often hints certain trend of the world’s change. This kind of writing would be an irony like The Human Comedy by Balzac, a symbol like One Hundred Years of Solitude by Garcia Marquez or a straightforward narration like Uncle Tom's Cabin by Mrs. Stowe. Some ideas of Non-mainstream or peripherization of the society were indicated through vivid description by the novelists, which influence generation by generation. In a word, all discuss and two reasons puts above may prove that the arts can reflect hidden ideas and impulses of a society. 、

However, it needs to be noted that the art has some limitations to reflect the reality. First, strictly speaking, the artistic works are based on the artists’ personal thinking which maybe imaginative or exaggerative. Second, artists are not always the representative of other people. Usually, the art is the way artists release their inner world and find distinctive personality. With these two limitations, the reality or concept the art reveals needs cautious consideration.

As for the potential impulse of the art for the society, we need to view the relationship between arts and social improvement, from the angle of developing viewpoint. Under certain circumstance, the art indeed make an enhanced effect to vital transformation of a society, for instance, the Struggle to Abolish Slavery in US, the May Fourth Movement in China, etc. But for the time being, the art provides more detailed classification which will influence individuals and the community in various ways. Some art styles for the certain minority, like poster art, underground bands or private fictions, would impact the particular groups of people; but it is bombastic to assert these kinds of art would boost development of the society. As far as I am concerned, the impulse arts expose to the society needs quite a long time to prove ---- the arts will firstly change people’s minds, attitudes and behavior，and then cause the revolution and development of the whole society.

In conclusion, the art is not perfect or impeccable in every way to reflect the hidden ideas and impulses of a society. We must understand how the art has ever used in the past, to know why we need and how to treat it today and future.

Arts---the great creation of human nature has played more and more important role in our society. It reveals the hidden idea of both its author and the whole society.

The most critical function of art is that it reveals the thoughts of entire society, especially for popular arts in contemporary society. Today people find themselves bog in large information and the rapid pace of daily live gives everyone great depression. So more and more people try to find another way to reveal their motion which bring pop music to our lives. This kind of music is famous for strong rhythm and tone. Now we can hear pop songs everywhere, in school, in supermarket, in companies, and even in some government office and the pop star are also winning high reputation and welcome not only among young people but also adults. The enormous success of pop music has indicated that its creator has gained compathy of the whole world. Such kind of compathy is just the reflection of society’s hidden idea. The idea of pursuing an escape of today's busy live.

Similarly, another good creature of human being, which can also reveal the hidden idea of our society, is graffiti. Graffiti is the production of 20th century in America and quickly expend its force to the whole country. Firstly it was created by black people who lived in poor area expressing their discontent about the government and society. Soon, people with different skin color, different background and different social status have accepted these special painting to reveal their dissatisfaction with unemployment, social violence, discrimination and so on. By this means, people tell others their thought and emotion, which sometimes cannot be described in language. Meanwhile it has become a great impulse of a society to find suitable ways settling these social phenomena.

Admittedly, not all kinds of arts are the reflection of hidden ideas and impulses of a society, and some of them are only the show of its author's emotion.  Compare to popular arts, some master's works always describe the thoughts and experiences of themselves. For example, Vinci' famous painting Monaliza, told us his admiring of female’s pretty and spiritual activity. At that time, only few people who knew him well could learn these special thoughts. In other words, such work cannot instead of societies idea but only individual or a group of people's idea.

In sum, I agree that some kind of arts can reveal the hidden idea and impulses of whole society while others rather reveal their author's idea.

本文审题一直存在争议，主要是对于otherwise的理解，一种认为“艺术揭示了只有它能够揭示的潜在的社会意识和动力”，还有是“是艺术解释了社会中不为人所见的意识和动力”。在这篇文章中，应该是第二个理解，同意了艺术可以解释社会hidden idea，同时补充一些艺术实际上只反映了作者个人的idea和emotion。二三段两个例子令人印象深刻。

附AdelineShen的解释

题目中文翻译
人文科学（绘画、音乐、文学，等等）揭露了那些只有通过它们才能揭露的一个社会所隐含的观念以及社会发展的动力。

写作指导
本题不好理解的点有三个：一是arts不应该单纯理解为艺术，而应该是人文科学；二是otherwise应该如何进行解释；三是impulses应该理解为“推动社会发展的动力”，而不是“冲动，脉动”。题目实际上需要讨论的是人文科学对于社会观念和动力之间的关系，你可以从人文科学的特点和本质来探讨它们对社会本质的反映，也可以考虑人文科学和其他揭露社会本质的方法的不同，来证明有一些观念和动力是只有人文科学才能揭示出来的。
