There has always been a discussion between which area is more important, Sciences or Arts. In this essay I am going to explore whether Sciences are really more important  in order to progress or Arts are what definitely keep us moving forward.

            Life expectancy has increased at least fifty years in the last century. Latest research in Medicine allows us to live longer with a better quality of life. Doctors treat diseases that few decades ago would have been a death warrant. Moreover, Scientific development in transport for instance, is letting us make the most of the scarce natural resources. There is no need to say that they are not going to last forever, and we need to be responsible for the planet we are living in.

            Despite the fact that Sciences are truly important and that they are going to become much more in the oncoming years, there is no point in saying that Arts are a waste of time. Some people believe that Arts are an entertaining way to spend the leisure time, but that its  goal is useless.

            On balance, both positions can be easily understood. Sciences are what makes us live more comfortable and longer. But a life without music or theatre is going to be a long, boring and no sense one for many people. It is impossible for me to make up my mind  I must say.
