In today’s world of advanced science and technology, we still greatly value our artists such as musicians, painters and writers. What can art tell us about life that science and technology cannot?

In
this
 modern era of continual scientific and technological advancement, artists are still gaining a lot of respect from people the world over. There are a number of things about
life
 that the arts can teach us that science and technology fail to. Many forms of art, especially literature, can deliver messages about the appreciation of what we have in
life
 as well as
life
 itself. Hundreds of literary works depict misery, misfortune and sorrow that still exist in
life
 today, and
this
 sends a strong message to those who do not appreciate their lives. “The Goldfinch”,
for example
, which narrates a story about the miserable
life
 of the main character after the unfortunate death of his mother makes us wonder whether we have become heartless toward our own loved ones. I doubt that there are any technologies in the world that could manage to convey
such
 a powerful message.
Arts
Suggestion
The arts
 teach us to cherish the beauty of
culture
 and is the fuel for our spiritual lives.
This
 is extremely important in a world where science and technology seem to fade our belief in the gravity of
culture
 in daily
life
. The connection between art and
culture
 is boundless, and traditional music and ancient paintings can remind us of where we came from and who we are.
That is
 to say, our cultural identity is preserved in various forms of art.
Although
 science and technology advance our understanding of all things and better our lives,
arts
Suggestion
the arts
 can
touch
impart skills or knowledge to
teach
 us to a much deeper extent, help us value what we have, and remind us of the significance of our
culture
.
