Human Sciences and Art
The type of information that is fed to artists by experts affects the type of art produced in an era. During times of hardship, the type of art produced could change. The reason why the artists know that they are undergoing hardship may be because experts have put information about economic decline in the newspapers or other forms of media. Hence, they might have produced art that corresponds to the state of their society.
When experts discover data in the human sciences, they can directly affect the way the general public behave or how they interact with one another. Hence, the phenomenon that was discovered might dissappear if people are activley trying to avoid a specific behavior.
