== Objective ==
The world is complicated, not simple; your opinion is right, also other opinion is right. So many standards exist in this world; religions, cultures, languages, and so on. Nowadays, populists (for example, Donald Trump) stir up nationalism and anti-foreignism. But the world already got quite complicated with several races, cultures, and religions. And they are supporting each other’s lives and economics based on capitalism.
We must re-consider taking others’ opinions. Watching how artists respond to a news topic in their various ways will help audience to find a start how they can see the world with open-mindedness.
