Arts and Culture
The fine and the performing arts form a part of the commentary - past, present and future - on our existence and the things we think, say and do, both good and bad.
   Through art we are confronted with reflections of who and what we and the world around us are, and what we can become. Art can inspire and promote. It can be used for pleasure and relaxation as well as business and trade, such as in imaging and advertising.
   Artists and their contributions to society and business should be encouraged and promoted through suitable mechanisms.
   Everyone has a culture - the set of values, norms, customs and traditions with which she/he has been brought up. Each person should be allowed to ascribe to and follow their own culture or the culture of their choice without hindrance or interference from others, provided that it does not infringe on the rights of others or break any other law.
   Government does not have the right, implicit or explicit, formally, informally or even subtlely to force the culture of the ruling party or any ruling group, be it preponderantly a majority or minority group, upon the rest of the country. Humility, sensitivity and genuine mutual respect should be exercised by all persons involved in government and by all persons in general. This is the basis of all truly noble cultures.
   Tolerance, amenability to diversity, and cooperation should be the order of the day.
