issue131~otherwise是怎么理解的？

issue131“The arts(painting,music,literature,etc.)reveal the otherwise hidden ideas and impulses of a society."
本题中，otherwise应该做何解？MW里的解释有如下几条：
①in a different way
②in other respects
③in different circumstances
④if not
我觉得按①理解比较好，即arts以一种不同于别的学科的方式来揭示了隐藏在一个社会背后的观点和推动力。
列提纲方面，想和各位探讨下~

1.what are so-called hidden ideas and impulses of a society?
In my opinion, hidden ideas and impulses can be understood as the inherent spiritual aspect of a society, which can reflect the social reality deep-rootedly.

2.Above all, we should explain the way that other disciplines such as history,politics reveal the hidden ideas and impulses.

3.And about whether arts can reveal hidden ideas and impulse of a society, it's advisable to divide into two circumstances  to discuss.
Some art works just come from artists' personal and individual emotions, which is hardly brought to be connected with hidden ideas and impulses of society. For example, a song created by a singer just originated from his sad feelings after breaking up with his GF can't express anything about hidden ideas of society.

Besides, among those art works, some emotional paroxysms of the artist are derived from their strong feeling to the society,such as dissatifaction with the severe corruption, indignence with the inequality,etc. If  it is this case, it is reasonable to say these arts reveal the hidden ideas and impulse to some extent.

最后，关于文章中的具体例子，比如 painting，music，literature这些领域都有哪些作品能反映社会现实的，哪些仅仅是反映个人情感的，欢迎探讨。

个人感觉这个文章不好展开来写，没有一些明显的分论点。
LZ可以参考下这个http://www.gter.net/?action-viewthread-tid-136824，这个文章写的非常高端，不过倒数第二段我倒没看懂作者的用意。

对于issue131.我看了一些帖子，但发现基本都没有体现对otherwise的理解。我觉得理解成“以一种不同于学科的方式”，大家觉得呢？

我也在踌躇这个题，不知道楼主想好了没？？？

6# 40687691 觉得otherwise理解成“以一种其他的方式”，副词，这样比较好。言下之意是一个社会隐藏的各种思想和动力其实除了通过艺术作品来表达外，还可以通过其他的途径来表达，比如游行活动、网络上的各种论坛、现实中人们的服饰行为等。
欢迎继续探讨

arts能够表达一些通过其它方式无法表达的idea and impulses
我们原来小组的组长告诉我的，他的作文非常好。
