Some people believe that Art gives our lives meaning and purpose. Others believe that it is merely a distraction from real life. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

In the modern ,world there is a polarizing opinion regarding
art
. Some
people
think it has a
lot
of advantages, others suppose it does more harm than good. ,

both of these points will be reviewed and
also
I will lead with a logical conclusion. Let's start with the
first
point which is about positive things in
art
.
First
, for some it is a main line of
work
, they adore it and cannot just live without it. Their main goal is to create music, draw portraits and do other stuff. We can not deny its
usefulness

of it.
Second
,
this
line of
work
generates quite good profit. I am talking not only about some wealthy individuals, but
also
a more large group of
people
or even
such
things as a city budget.
For example
, in

there are a

of music festivals and

exhibitions which are only possible with help of
art
and
people
who are busy in
this
sphere.
On the other hand
, there are a
lot
of
people
who think that it is a waste of time to focus on
art
.
Firstly
, they claim that we have to concentrate on more important aspects like global warming or poverty. They assume that we need to spend all of our power and efforts trying to minimize the effect of
such
negative things.
Secondly
, they are sure that by creating some
art
people
are trying to avoid dealing with really glaring problems, probably because they are afraid of it.
For instance
,
instead
of pushing the envelope in the technology area, a community just write poems which
do

not help a
lot
in complex situations. In conclusion, I completely disagree with the ones who believe that
art
is switching our focus from real problems to something less relevant. Musicians, artists, and writers are creating a
lot
of materials that motivate others to
work
harder in many different spheres, like physics or politics.
Art
is extremely helpful in desperate times and I am concerned that without it our
work
would be much worse.
