Science and technology have improved the standards of living in all over the world. Some people claim that the role of the arts has become insignificant. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
In recent years, the living conditions have become superior, much of
this
can be attributed to the growth in sci-tech. There is a view that the significance of art is very less in the improved lifestyles of people across the globe. In my opinion science
and technology
has aided to a better level of comfort, while, arts and humanities still play an essential role in our lives.
To begin
with, technological changes have helped in uplifting the way of life to an extent. This
is because, advances in STEM fields has resulted in increased productivity in the majority of the sectors like, communication, transportation and travel to mention a few, which have tremendously improved the socio-economic development of a country. For example
, people who have access to technology
are working from home via online platforms, this
is a boon during the pandemic. In contrast
, technology
has led to something called 'creative destruction' making certain jobs obsolete and leaving many workers scrambling to make a living. As a result
, it is possible to improve everyday life to an extent with the help of science
and technology
.
However
, there are many reasons why arts and humanities still play a significant role. The reason is there are many things the artists can teach us in the field scientists have failed to. For instance
, a person can learn about harmony and joy by listening to music and learn about the values of life by reading good books. On the contrary
, science
cannot offer this
because in the world of science
and technology
the true measure is whether something is working or not. Thus
, intellectual achievements and principles still contribute to a better way of living in this
scientifically evolved world.
In conclusion, while it is still possible to state that technology
has led to better ways to live, there are other ways like arts and humanities to lead a better lifestyle.Submitted by prajwal.prabs on
