example, a band might write and perform a song about the effects of war. A photographer might take pictures to
show how pollution affects people. An author might write a story about a family that tells of struggles with poverty.
Music, photos, books, and other art are forms of free speech. The artists use this freedom to express their own
feelings about problems they see in society.
