¶ … art and music but also with prose and poetry in some way. It looks at how individuals know whether something is good or bad. In general, the main point of the article is that good and bad when looking at artistic merit and value are only in the eye of the person who is looking at the piece of art, or only in the ear of the person who is listening to the piece of music. The article also points out that it is very important to be willing to speak up for what someone thinks is good or bad but also to be aware of the fact that it is possible that sometime in the future the person who said that something was good or bad may change his or her mind and have to admit to the fact that he or she was wrong. This is one of the main considerations in the article because it is important for people to say what they think but also to understand that there is the possibility that the way they feel about something will change over time. This is often true with issues in the art world such as painting or music because many of these things have to be listened to or look that more than once before an actual understanding of them can be had.
It is because of this that thinking about what is good and bad becomes very difficult. Something seen as bad at first glance may be seen as good when it is examined more closely and someone who has said how bad something is may have to admit that they were wrong in the future and no one likes to admit that they are wrong. It seems that the tone of the article is encouraging people to look at art and other issues in a way that they do not normally do. In other words, they need to truly look at something instead of just glancing at it and when they do this they will see it for what it is really instead of what it only looks like on the surface. By doing this they will be able to make an honest and fair judgment about whether it is really bad or good.

Hence, the intellectual upper class now operates from a "narrow retreat, now itself a pariah," Pohlit continues. And that intellectual upper class of course has all the Western classical music it can possibly listen to, but it remains
Suddenly Western Music no longer needed to follow all the old rules. Just as the abstract painters dispensed with the traditional canon of art at just the same time, so also men like Bartok and Stravinsky take a fresh look at what constituted good music. According to Bartok, the aesthetic success of this new homophonic-polyphonic music would depend upon the "harmonic entity" that results from the rise and fall of

art is "the creation of beautiful or thought-provoking works" according to the World English Dictionary It is with that definition in mind that I argue that theatre is most definitely an art form. Theatre can be defined as when someone chooses to make dramatic performance (acting) their profession much as a dancer chooses the ballet as their profession. The roots of theatre can be traced as far back as the
