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

Many people today continue to value the

arts

despite a growing emphasis on science and technology. In my opinion,

this

is because only the

arts

allow for self-expression and create fundamentally crucial and uplifting truths about humanity. The

first

reason the

arts

continue to be relevant relates to their capacity for self-expression.

This

is important not only for individuals but

also

for society at large. For individuals, the ability to express themselves is a crucial element of being fully human and having strong mental health.

This

explains the popularity of classes for painting, music, and dance as a means of relaxing and expressing one’s thoughts and feelings. In the aggregate, millions of people expressing their viewpoints

Although

is capable of making tangible improvements in the lives of individuals, it is unable to impart meaning.

In contrast

, the

arts

are interpretations of the world that can uplift and enliven.

For example

, great filmmakers over the course of the 20th century have explored complex subject matter in classic films

such

as The Godfather, not only entertaining viewers but

also

presenting a vision and insightful understanding of American history. If the

arts

are extended to include the writings and teachings of religious leaders, it is easy to see their impact on values and morality. In conclusion, the

arts

still occupy a prominent position in society as they allow for individual self-expression and the creation of ideals.

Therefore

, it is important that governments continue to fund and support these seemingly less worthwhile pursuits.
