Creative Culture Discussion
I personally believe that the RW culture of creativity enables creative expression to continue indefinitely. The RO culture is stricter and gives artists the ability to have “their expression framed just as they intend it,” (Lessig, 56). I think that this could inhibit artistic expression because people are not free to form their own opinions, and are only able to take the information provided to them at face value. The ability of people to think creatively about another person’s ideas allows for in-depth discussion and innovation. The “RW culture extends itself differently…It is offered as a draft. It invites a response,” (Lessig, 56). I think that this form of artistic expression allows people to expand upon each other’s ideas and creations in pursuit of novelties. This type of artistic creativity is what drives our culture and our world into future success. Without the ability to expand upon each other’s innovations, we would not have all of the technology we have today.
