Is 'Change' a Good Thing or a Bad Thing?
Change can be many things, but it is not necessarily a good or bad thing. Both good and bad things can come out of change, but change is directly the good or bad thing. In regards to many cases like the origins of art, agricultural revolution, urbanization, and many other areas, the change that happened created a positive impact on the world. There is always at least one good positive thing that comes from change. It might not be the most important thing that turned positive, but an event regarding change usually has a positive point to it. Change can be both a good and a bad thing, but with change, comes positive and negative events that you just have to live through.
There were many positive outcomes that came from changes like origins of art, urbanization, and architecture. These changes in the way the ancient people lived leads to the way we live and act today. Without the ancient architecture that we have found through years of searching and researching, today’s buildings, bridges, homes, anything would be nothing like they are today. Art is also a huge positive outcome that comes through change. Art is such a great culture that most people don’t understand, but it shows you who people truly were back in ancient times even until today. People like to express themselves through forms of art; whether it’s painting, ceramics, theater, literature, or even sketches, people like to tell you who they are through their art. The change and realization of what art truly is changed how we view art forever. Art would not be at its present ways if it wasn’t for changes that were created over time.
The way change becomes positive or negative is due to the progress that the change makes. The progresses of architecture lead it to becoming such a huge part of the world today. Progress leads to fulfillment in the change which sometimes leads to even more change in the long run. Progression from the ancient architecture to today’s buildings is because of the changes that have occurred over a long period of time, changing the ways of building these amazing architectural buildings that have to be created. Progression leads to such a drastic change on people’s point of views on the topic and how it actually comes about. A great example of this is the progression of theater. Theater started as a few people creating a story and wanting to act it out instead of having to read it. Then, they made a stage and created backgrounds and props. Then, other people wanted to see them, so they started to perform for other people. Next, everyone wants to watch this play, so it goes on Broadway so they can travel all over to show their play. And sometimes, it becomes a movie so people can watch it whenever they want. This progression is so huge. This shows you that over time, so many changes happen to something. Sometimes it might look bad at first but there is always a positive side to a change.
Even though there is a lot of positive that comes from change, there is also some negative that can occur. With events like the agricultural revolution, many cultures and groups of people thought differently about it. Some groups loved the change, other not so much. This is one example of a negative impact that comes from a change. Everyone has their own personal opinion towards everything in life, so some changes can lead to fighting between two groups, or on a larger scale, countries. Fighting can lead to many things also including attacks, wars, and many other personal and national troubles. Everyone has the right to different views and opinions, and they all have the right to speak their mind about their views. These opinions can sometimes lead to much larger problems though. People just need to try to keep positive and believe that something good with come from this.
As you can tell, I personally feel as if change is change, but how you respond to the change and react to it can make it a good or a bad thing. People just need to keep looking on the bright side to see what is in store for them in the future even while going through a negative change. You can change yours and other peoples’ views on a situation based on how you think of it and how you try to react and even change it. It is all up to the people.
I think you make some good points about the agricultural revolution, but I would say that your theories about theatre need some sources. How do you know people were reading before there was theatre? It may seem counter-intuitive, but perhaps theatre, or earlier versions of it, informed writing and reading. One way or the other, the Neolithic people of the era of the Agricultural Revolution were pre-literate.
