I have been an artist and a creator thougought my entire life. I have created with nearly every artistic medium there is. From watercolor to 3D animation. All of my works have been based on the frame work that what I make is purly imagination. Today I noticed something suprising after a discussion about modern pop culture. I realized there is two schools of thought in the United States when it comes to fictional entertainment. I also noticed one tries to dominate the other.
These are the two schools of thought in the US:
1 One where fiction and entertainment is an imaginary works where it is a based in imagination. This means an imaginary works can be anything one desires without boundaries and limitations.
2 The other where fiction and entertainment translates into real-life. This could means violent scenes can translate to real-world violent effects and therefore should be moderated or censored.
I observe both of these schools of thought exists within the United States and the one where fiction translates to real-life tries to dominate the one where fiction is an imaginary works based on imagination. One demands censorship and caution where the other wants unlimited freedom of creation with an understanding that imaginary works is entertainment, fiction, and a product of imagination.
I personally fall into the school of thought that entertainment and imaginary works of fictions is a form of entertainment and imagination. That is why I allow my creations to run wild with imagination as if painting on a canvas within my own mind. I can look at the works of others and can appreciate the vision of the artist. When I see things I do not agree with, I can accept it is a work of fiction and move on from it without any effects or a desire of censorship. I believe people should express themselves. If I do not like an artistic expression of another, I move on from it.
I think understanding these two schools of thought within the United States can open many eyes to different ways of thinking which can preserve, protect, and encourage new, origional, and out-of-the-box visions. I believe it can open the eyes of those who want to censor and moderate artistic visions. Origional and unique artistic visions only come once in human history because a human's time is limited on Earth. If one does not create, it will never exist. Artists must make it exist. Therefore, we must create without limits.
