writting exercise2 Science and technology have brought great changes to our lives. Some people think the work of artists such as musicians, painters and writers should still be valued. To what extent do you agree or disagree? We are in the age full of high technology as well as new scientific achievements which really make our life much easier. Does it means we should only develop those scientific things rather than invest time and money in artists such as musicians , painters and writters who seems can’t not give any economical dedications to the sociaty . Howerer, in my opion, creative works should still be appreciated and highly valued. Some people discredit the functions of arts based on the followed reasons: To begin with, arts including music, paintings, books, pictures are too abstract to our daily life. Most people can’t live without the modern equipments like washing machine which really helps them in doing house works while arts seems don’t have such fuction. Moreover, art is a metal confort which only those people who have already satisfied their basic needs can afford. Lastly, breakthroughs in technology or scientific field can bring higher effiency to the society which would save great deal of moneys, but a wonderful painting can’t do that. Though we should really thank for the advanced technology, we still can’t ignore great beneficial artists do to us and to the sociaty. Firstly, artists are creators. Their imaginations and thoughts represents the essens of human beings . we human is not like machine becouse of our various iders, wild imaginations and colorful emotions. Those are best showed in the artist’ work. Secondly , arts can give you spiritual comfort. People have many pressures in modern society. Arts is a good way to relax and really escape from the pressing life. Modern techology has accelarate our pace of life while arts can help you slow down and enjoy every minites. thirdly, most enlightened societies think high of artists. We can find a painting drawed by famouse people can cost thousants of dollars . Not to memtion pop singers and classical musians are popular around the world. In sum ,we enjoy the benefits which highly developed technology bring to us and we also cherich the amazing feelings which the outstanding artists give to us. The world will be wonderful with flourishing sciences and arts.
