Science vs. Art
Witnessing our everyday lives revolutionised by science and technology, some people begin to disregard the achievements of artists while others believe we should never neglect such accomplishments. I, personally, support the latter view.
It is undeniable that scientific and technological advances have huge impacts on every aspects of modern society. For starters, nowadays, almost everyone has a cell phone. With the help of it we can communicate with family members and friends, anytime and anywhere. Secondly, the development of transportation makes it possible for us to travel around the world during short vocations. Finally, we enjoy all the benefits of using the Internet, such as accessing the whole world’s information with Google or Bing search. These are just three major changes among many others that are brought to us by science and technology.
However, it is unfair to discredit the work from domains other than science and technology, be it music, paintings, writings or movies. In the first place, we are and always will be touched by the hearty songs, impressive portraits, and other artistic work because after all, we are always the emotional human beings and not the cold robots. In fact, masterpieces and great talents are always well received and gently protected, even in war times as depicted in the movie, the Pianist. Moreover, artistic work can enlighten us about the beauty of nature, the meaning of life and the peace and tranquility of universe.
In conclusion, although science and technology are indispensable in our society, we cannot disregard art as it conveys our emotions, expands our minds and improve our understanding of ourselves and the world.
