Final Notes (Part Five)

All four forms of the humanities that I mentioned can indeed inspire good. I'm interested to see what each of these fields continues to develop into in order to continue inspiring good. What new art forms, new pieces of literature, new songs and musicals, and new video games will be created to help guide humanity to do good? With the advent of AR gaming, for example, it almost takes the aspect of gaming away because a community can be built up so strong and the games are simplistic in design. It's been interesting to watch how both the Ingress community and the Pokemon Go community develop. On one hand, Ingress agents are more prone to be community oriented, while Pokemon Go trainers don't have good enough reasons to emphasize gathering in teams to play. Perhaps it is a matter of age groups, culture, or video game mechanics?

One thing that does concern me is the shift of morality due to trends and politics. There are some things that will always be inherently good, but there are other things that may "cease" to be good because it is not popular or convenient anymore. We already know that the humanities can be powerful tools to inspire people, but will it always be to do good, to do "good?"
