Flashpoints

1.       How do politics, economics, religion, gender, or culture contribute to the critical and/or commercial success or failure of a work (film, novel, painting, etc.?  It is going to changed in a big way not just a little because if a film is being insulting people can get offended and that will cause them to go and tell other people and create rumors that can make people not wanting to go and see the movie.
2.       How do these factors help ignite controversy over a work of art? Why and how does once-controversial art become accepted or even considered classic? Because some people might not agree with what they are watching and then that can cause some type of argument.
3.       Were you surprised by anything you saw, or any of the works included on the list? I was a little surprised when they would ask you the questions and then they would ask you if you were still with your answer or if you wanted to change it. It was like if they wanted you to give them the same answer they had.
4.       Can a violent or racist work of art in any form (literature, film, music, visual, etc.) cause someone to act in a violent or racist way? Why or why not. Weigh in with your overall opinion of the issue and this website. I think that it all depends on how you see it. But if they think that someone might get offended they should warn you before you see it so that you wont get mad. There might be occasions that this might happen.
