Creative Education

If cultural safety is lodged in the power of will, then to protect ideas and intellectual achievements, one must do what appears best and is almost bound to do so. Voltaire describes will as wish and to be free as to be able: liberty is the power--based on constitution and health of organs--to do what one will: wishes to do, one's dominant thought; people can not resist dominant idea, by your will you obey the idea that dominates you more, but will is not free and willing without a cause is unworthy of creativity. There is a reason for everything; liberty is the power--based on constitution and health of organs--to do what one will. If one never has the opportunity to learn of alternatives, will is restricted; one can only have the will to act in what one knows exists. Cultural safety is thus reduced to the confines of an interacting community and other cultures are perceived through distinct mediums. Artistic interpretation is either a personal reality or the perception of a another's reality.

One has the ability to produce a painting of Milan while living in New York City; the painting is not an eye-witness account and behavior is examined through internet photographs of the city center. On the other hand, a painter produces a painting of Milan and has lived in Milan since birth, the painting is also of the city center. The general public now has the ability to perceive both paintings, but which artist presents reality and displays a greater extent of will to protect culture? Cultural safety also rests highly upon the source of will.

The internet presents society with the ability to discover beyond one's immediate environment, but personal involvement is capable of altering one's will and perception; involvement brings forth emotional connection (relationship), and emotions, derived from connections, affect one's will (purposefulness).
