This is not the case with the arts which has to do with creative imagination ranging from subjects like government, history, philosophy, religion, etc.

Arts is born out of man's for creativity and imagination. Science constitutes only the manifestation of this potential.

2)It trains man for responsible citizenship in a free and growing society

3)It provides intellectual background for success in business and professional areas.

The goals that have been listed can be achieved through arts education alone and they represent what modern man should have.

Science and arts are both beneficial to the society. But let's not degrade arts education.
