Answer 1

The role of creative expression such as painting, drawing, sculpting include highlight the issues faced by people in a society for example the sculptures of the great Irish potato famine highlight the scarcity of food in Ireland during the period of famine. While the writers in human rights work advocate for the issues of the people they help in mobilizing the masses and making people sensitive towards an issue, they are also helpful in voicing the concerns of the people which can lead to the shaping of policies by the government. For this reason only nurses indulge in creative writing when they practice advocacy.
