In society nowadays, the arts (music, art, theatre) is still seen as crucial by the people. I believe that this is the case since many people are positively engaged in this related activity, therefore it should be taught in school institution.
Regarding to this, I believe that art, especially music, is still highly sought after by people in general. Many adolescents are having a future plan by becoming well-known singer, which is the exact reason why this industry always seem to have endless talents. Besides adoration and its social status, music is seen as a way to unite people as it conveys positivity and hope, despite the different background and languages that the people faced. This could be seen in a concert, for example Coldplay, who could always sold out their ticket in every countries they have their gig on.
This way of life and positive culture of appreciating art should be continued. Whilst many people are able to learn it outside of school, I believe formal institution should be a place to nurture students’ interest in art. This subject is supposed to be mandatory, since it is highly necessary yet unfortunately not sufficiently addressed in the curriculum worldwide. In Indonesia, for example, it has to be taught in elementary, however becoming optional course in high school. By giving art an equal time in the learning process, it would give positive impact by enhancing student well-being and developing student emotional quotient.
In conclusion, I believe that the arts are still highly enjoyed by the people. While this be most people way of life, nurturing art through school should be an option as it brings positive influence for the students.
