Can you change society through your work?

Remove vanity, wipe out hunger, nullify war.  Or maybe it is as simple as making the World a little less cynical.

If you could change one aspect of our society through your work, what would it be?

    I would open humanities eyes to the cruelty we allow to take place everyday. Cruelty toward children, toward the elderly, toward animals. Cruelty in the form of abuse, neglect or simple ignorance and apathy. Avoiding it, ignoring it or imagining it doesn’t exist doesn’t make it go away.

    to abolish any organized religion (most of them) that professed to be ‘the only way’ and that had a central character who was ‘the one true god.’

    I’m with Heather on this one! Many films out there that exist on those subjects are incredibly painful to watch but are necessary in order for us to comprehend what is really going on in the world so we can take action to combat it and end it!

    what we create is what we are
    raise perception raise the bar
    society
    you, me are we
    our impact is felt globular

    End the belief that we are all separate, when the reality is that we are all one. What we do to another, we do to ourselves.

    To echo what Lisa shared~

    I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

    Real change comes when we all share the same light~

    No one is in the dark when the the answers are revealed.

    I make big signs for a living. They drape on buildings, they promote movies, major sporting events, manipulate the masses and yes they even help “save the peak”.

    They emit different signals into each and every one of us. But can they change the world?

    …do this don’t do that…can’t you read the sign?

    These days I’m having trouble reading the signs~

    The end may be near… or maybe I just need a new prescription.

    peace~

    i still believe the personal is political and if we can change our own lives and those closest to us we in fact do change society. at its best the creative endeavor can achieve this.

    Taking into account the “butterfly effect” we do change society through our work and actually, simply by being. By ripple effect whatever choice each of us makes right now, no matter how insignificant it might seem to the big picture, influences society.

    Echoing on what Rosendo said…having been in Graphic Design for a very long time and a lot of it with consumer goods/retail…Staples/Brookstone/MGA Entertainment/Software/Guitar Center ~ makes one really start to think about their impact with the messages that get sent out on a daily basis through a website, package, brochure, or any other medium…it all has a HUGE impact. Does someone REALLY need a specialty nosehair trimmer? ;)

    I’d rather not change society, but if I make a few individuals smile then that is enough for me. :)
