It is generally agreed that society benefits from the work of its members.
Compare the contributions to artists to society with the contributions of
scientists to society. Which type of contribution do you think is valued
more by your society? Give specific reasons to support your answer.

Before we discuss the priorities of contributions from scientists and
artists, we should define “contributions” first. Since I live in Taiwan, an
island just experienced economic booming years ago, I would rather relate the
contribution to this society with the economical success. As it is known that
during the early developing period of a country, investment to science and
technology research decides the economic growth and power of a country. And
our predecessors really set up a lot of infrastructures for us so that we
have a better life now. So, I would prefer the contribution from scientist
instead of those from artist in accordance with the development of this
society. Following explains my choice.
About the late 70’s to early 80’s, the government decided to concentrate on
development of electronic industries. Then, a well-famous enterprise was
built up, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacture Company (TSMC). And as we know,
the company has become the top one in the field of semiconductor foundry. At
that time, government could choose to invest art industries, like movie
industry and music industry, but no evidence showed our advantages over other
countries. To build a leading organization that dominated the trend of art was
nearly impossible in this land.
In addition, the government policy promoted a lot opportunities for experts.
And this further disclosed the possibility of fast technology and engineering
innovation. That’s why people here always utilize the cheapest and best
electronic products. And we can easily find a job according to our interests.
To sum up, although art may stimulate individual aesthetic emotions and
incite the passion of life, we do have more benefits from the scientists.
In the future, our society may need artists to direct a brand-new value for
people here. Now, it’s the scientists’ contributions which make this
vigorous society.
