Nowadays, people have different views about government spending. Should they develop education, which is one of the most important parts of our life, or innovate art? In my own opinion, modern art is an almost useless branch of industry, it is water under the bridge. Scientific development, incredible medical achievements and genius engineering discoveries took leading positions in the current time and almost displaced art.
On the one hand, art was a piece of beauty and development in the past. Philosophy, poetry, even a lot of scientists of ancient times were based on art. It was the way to express your own beauty of reality where your imagination could change the world’s rules. Furthermore, it showed us life in the past. Books could let us imagine the ancient world. Pictures help us to see the world in its true form. In addition, I can’t say that books, poetry, and philosophical thinking are useless. They open our eyes to reality. Illustrated situations we can get into ourselves and show the way out of problems. They show the true faces of people and take an irreplaceable part in my view of this world. However, nowadays, art has become something ridiculous and it doesn’t have that important and deep meaning as earlier. That is the reason why I don’t prefer to innovate modern art.
On the other hand, education has taken center stage in discussions about why the present is better than the past. Today, when AI intelligence can replace many facilities like driver, pilot, teacher, accountant, etc., people have to study a lot non-stop, and governments have to help students in that goal. Earlier development in education was going at a slow tempo because access to resources was very limited. In the past, education depended mainly on books and teachers. Only a small number of people who thought differently from others brought physics, chemistry, and biology. In past centuries religious representatives even maintained illiteracy. Consequently, most scientists of that time were hermits, and with no financial help, innovations came too late. But nowadays governments can help with schools, universities, financial help, and many other facilities. It can help us fight illiteracy which tyrannized us for so long.
In conclusion, I want to say that I never like to play the devil’s advocate. I see light and dark sides in both art and education. But now is the time for innovations, so if art becomes the same as in the past, then there will be a place for both of them.
