Why does society look up to Maths and Science but looks down on the ARTS and who does them
|
I agree it's neither fair nor wise to value math and science over the arts. But why does it happen? Probably simply because of money. Because the industries and technologies driven by math and science get associated with making money. Granted art can make money, too, but it's a smaller fraction of the art community which can generate that type of money success, and it's far less predictable. 1

No. I agree, art is hard. But it is not valued less because of money. We need more mathematicians and scientists to improve technology and cure diseases, bringing mankind forward. Artists are somewhat important because they provide entertainment and help keep everyone sane, but being educated in STEM fields will help more people in a more drastic way. I believe that STEM fields are not valued enough. A lot of little kids want to be rock stars, football players, or video game designers but tbh the world could get by without these people. The modern world can't get by without surgeons, researchers, and engineers. |
