The economics’ concept of “There’s no free lunch,” are basically talking about the same thing as the narrative imagination. Because of the zero possibility that people could have free lunch, both the buyer and the seller both would have to consider the deal from the other side of perspective. However, knowing the world in many different ways would help people develop their imagination and become freer.
Also in Media Study, students were asked to know the meaning of meaning which was communication. The textbook from Introduction to Media level always taught the similar concept as the Economic Study, the one that was the same as the “Narrative Imagination.” Any study that the students in the future would have to deal with customers or has the target audiences would be taught about this concept.

Dance, paintings, photography, drawings, music, literature, and sculpting, are what comes to mind when contemplating the aspects of art. The limitation to defining a word so opinionated leaves out room for self-expression. The traditional ideas of what is considered art should be broadened; granted, although not tangible, art can be seen through ambitions, emotions, and expression through appearances when not limited to the customary definition.…

    Freedom is having the right to act, speak, or think as one wants, and having absolute freedom in creating art pieces mean that no one or no authority can censor it. Usually, authorities such as the government tend to censor art pieces at which they deem unfit and unsuitable for the public audience.

However, sometimes authorities do have to censor, which some adults may disapprove of.…
