"Drama is a tool for social change". To what extent do you agree with this statement and why?

Answer 1

If used for humanitarian purposes, with social and ethical themes that are of a positive outcome, anything else is crap on the level of enlightenment. Is that good enough ??.

I AM

Answer 2

Hello dear!
Drama and tragedy are easier to be understood with the Greek way of thinking.
Western thinking has a start and ending. Western Books and theories have concluding remarks! Also, they have absolute truth, ideals.
Is it such in real life?
NO!!!
Everything changes! Just 100 years ago women were not considered people, now people have opened this part of their brains!
Some years ago, God told Bush to bombard Iraq, Now we know Bush invented the visit of god!
Thus, we should always allow space for improvement!
SO, social change (I prefer to have improvement) is possible! By the time we define the final point, frontier, truth, we can't improve! By Greek style Drama and Tragedy progress is possible, if not dictated!

Answer 3

Drama is a medium for story telling and expression, and can be a vassal for protest to generate public awareness of social issues. It can influence changes, but it does not possess the capacity to bring about changes.
Change will still depend on the masses.

Answer 4

Partly because it is such a restricting statement.I believe that life in all it's infinite entirety is one big drama as everything is a part of everything else.Every coming second holds the script while every second past is history filled with drama in regards to humans,humanity, the the universe that sustains it both within it.Oh the drama,drama,drama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!peace.Each individuals interpation(choices)to the script of time is the essence of life's drama.

Answer 5

I've found that being a drama queen doesn't get me anything.
