Question..

Do artists / creative practitioners have more responsibility than other members of society for addressing social issues?
I don't think that artists or creative practitioners should have more responsibility to address social issues but due to the way they / there work is seen by the public they have in a way be given a responsibility to make sure that the work they put out is 'suitable' for the public and isn't giving off the wrong message.There position in the view of the public gives them the power to put across a message that could address social issues but the way in which people view it might be different.
