12. Infection with cold viruses is difficult to block with drugs, because the viruses enter human cells in several different ways.

(1) Drug treatments against cold viruses fail because no single drug is capable of blocking all the possible routes by which the viruses attack human cells. (2) Viruses which cause colds have several different methods by which to invade human cells, so preventing infection by means of drugs is hard. (3) Drugs taken to prevent cold viruses will never be effective until a way is found to limit the viral attack on human cells to a single point of entry into the cell. (4) Once a person has become infected with a cold virus, curing the infection by means of drug therapy is nearly impossible, because the virus has so many different ways of damaging human cells.

Text I

The idea that self-expression through art is good for people and especially for unhappy people has been widely accepted. Social workers, family doctors, psychiatrists, and psychologists advise their troubled clients to find solace and satisfaction in art. Art programs are being established in prisons, training schools, and hospitals; in homes for disturbed children and homes for the aged, and in neighborhood houses and clubs. This quest for salvation through art is gaining ascendancy at a time when art has all but disappeared as a normal ingredient of daily life. Before the advent of industrialism there always existed, beyond the rise and fall of styles and schools of art, art as one of the natural by-products of the business of making things by hand. In this way, a certain measure of self-expression and self-recognition was woven into the fabric of daily life, satisfying the needs of the average man. Inasmuch as art therapy constitutes an organized attempt to bring art into the lives of troubled people, it is also a response to this unfulfilled need. Often it seems that the attempts to introduce artistic experience as a remedy for emotional suffering are comparable to the reintroduction of vitamins into foods that have lost their innate vitality through excessive processing. The dangers are even greater. Our vitamin-enriched bread, for instance, remains inferior in taste and quality to the bread that was baked before the original flavor was lost and before vitamins were discovered. Artificial art programs in hospitals, prisons, or treatment homes are frequently just as flavorless and dull as the boiled cotton that goes by the name of bread.
