For a long time art has been considered an essential part of all cultures in the world. However, nowadays people’s values have changed, and we tend to consider science, technology and business more important than arts. What do you think are the causes of this? What can be done to draw people’s attention to art?

People’s values are driven by the market. Today, the innovations in science and technology and the expansion of businesses are constantly offering people career opportunities with high job security. In comparison, the art field is more volatile with fewer job opportunities, which seems unattractive to many. The fact that the STEM field is more favoured by the market makes people view STEM as more essential to the country than art is.

Under British and Australian laws a jury in a criminal case has no access to information about the defendant's past criminal record. This protects the person who is being accused of the crime. Some lawyers have suggested that this practice should be changed and that a jury should be given all the past facts before they reach their decision about the case. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

Although some expert opinions support the availability of past criminal records to the jury, as far as I am concerned, such policy should not be realized. Past criminal records would likely bias the judgment of the judge. Moreover, these documents would add to the workload of legal workers, further preventing them from giving a fair sentence.
