Advances in science and technology have made great changes to the lives of ordinary people, but artists such as musicians, painters and writers are still highly valued. What can the arts tell us about life that science and technology cannot?

Some people nowadays value arts more than science, despite the emphasis of the current world's fascination with modern technologies and recent breakthroughs in science. This is because only art has the ability of self-expression coupled with the opportunity of art to create neurological bonds and enhance an individual's creativity. To begin with, the fact that only art can guarantee an individual's self-expression and true senses of the human. Modern individuals nowadays suffer from the opportunity to express themselves, this explains the popularity of the modern art classes like singing the songs in the group or dancing with the opposite sexes. Such kind of expression allows humans to better understand their inner world and allow them to meet people who belong to a different culture. This reduces the tension between people who belong to different cultures and religious affiliations and also enriches society as a whole. Moreover, it has been proved by many studies that art aids cognitive development and creates new links among brain cells. These enduring links are the main power force of any human development, which not only expands their horizons but also enhances their creativity. Such benefits can not be achieved by advanced technologies and science. In addition to this, art, classic music, and paintings require great mental effort and patient, which other subjects often do not need. In an era of short clips and immediate gratifications, art plays the role of counterbalance and teaches people how to persuade their aims regardless of external circumstances. In conclusion, although, in this modern cutting-edge era, digital devices bring more benefit to society and many admire them, art is more admired by many. Arts allow them to express themselves in a certain way and expand their ability to think broadly.
