"Consider what Dewey has to say about the human experience, emotions, and the influence art has on these. Following Dewey's logic, what implications does capitalism then have not only on art, but on the human psyche and even humanity in general?
Do you think he has a point?
Give a possible solution to this dilemma."
In a capitalistic society, it is hard for everyone to get or own art, especially fine art or true art. Some people simply just have more money than others and possessing art is just out of the question.
I think this can make things harder for the people who cannot afford it. For example, there are many types of music, and some are better than others. But, in order for someone to understand the finest of music, that takes time and investments. For people on the lower end of a capitalistic society, they cannot meet the requisites. Popular music can be easily made without much skill, it's cheap, and does not take much to understand it. I think it affects the human psyche because people are thinking that "junk" art is art, and they aren't experiencing true art.
