According to this author, what role should design play in society?

Author expressed design act like openmindness, neutrality and instead of emotion. 1900s artists from avant-garde disliked the old art style and identifyi it as a corruption to society. After peer review, I can tell the model of objectivity rather than subjectivity is important and the most advanced technology should drive the future design to play strong and impactful impressions.

What are the most urgent problems facing designers today?

In today’s world most of the problem occurs when a designer still trying to continue to champion the ideas of neutrality and objectivity. Modern era and technological improvement didn’t allow easily to achieve it. Practical design world is connected to the Client and original consumer. The role designer play like a think tank and try to put his ideas and vision to the design to connect easily, sometimes the client do not understand the big idea and require changes like like color shape and composition. If the designer have clear idea what he created and why? It become easy to explain and something nothing work because we work for clients. Meetup the deadline and getting expected result is also big challenge.
