Cultural conflict is a constant, viewed best from distant perspectives.
To assess such conflicts in strictly political terms is an error, there being larger issues than the social, economic, and ideological with which to contend. Culture originates in ideas and ideals, beliefs and approaches to human existence more poetic than mundane. The arts in all their forms emerge out of imagination to make myriad futures, and every individual experiences their influence for good or ill.
When expression evokes foresight, possibilities are illuminated, elevating the concrete world of events.
