Response to Lisa

This is a response to Lisa's question, "Everybody comes from a different background, a different life; therefore, their subjective views and taste of art will always be different and unique. How can there be a universal agreement on the goodness of art when we all come from a different background of what is considered 'good' or not?"

I think that this question has a complexly simple answer. That, call I it, because there really is not one true way of determining if we all do ascribe to the universal idea of what is good or not. A lot of things can be considered universal, even if they are only culturally exclusive, and that can be a mistake which is made. Also, I think that people do have a certain "wall" of conscience which they develop as a result of our nature, to guide us internally in terms of what is good or wrong. The "goodness" of art is something that is instilled at a young age by being exposed to what has already been decided to be "good" art, and that is reenforced by our morals and beliefs. It is almost subliminal i think. And something which is subliminal can be shared by everyone without thinking. But completely shared? I do not know, that is why I say "complexly simple".

So my question right now is, is bad art easier to recognize universally than good art? Is it more or less ambiguous?
