It is more important to study science and technology than to study the arts and humanities.

There is nothing worse than the topic today.

Science and technology concentrate on how to handle the world existing around us, while the arts and humanities teach us the "value" of the world surrounding all the people on the earth.
Science and technology belong to the times and age they are produced and developed. On the contrary the arts and humanities are beyond the human history, because of the essential value they have inside themselves.

So to think much more highly of science and technology than the value-concentrated field of the arts and humanities definitely lead us to nowhere, because it will not answer the very basic question, "why we live".

Science and technology will resolve the problems of "how we live better lives" in a very simple way: in the visible way. The visible way of interpretation of the world around us is also very understandable. The way provides us with a happy-go-lucky way of accepting the situation we are living in. But there is a possibility that might lead us to a serious misunderstanding that the human beings are almighty. It is a groundless supposition that men can do anything he likes if we can develop the proper techniques.

The more the science and technology develops, the less accurate perception toward the inner, core structure of the existence of human beings we have.  It is the relationship of inverted proportion. This not-to-the-point view of men has left us nowhere. Just think of the atomic bomb created and developed in the US during the WW II. The scientists concerning the nuclear bomb development always said and says even now that as for the use of nuclear power as the bombs they are not responsible. The President of the US and the best and brightest around him are. But is that right?

We have to study the arts and humanities and should have well-balanced view of human beings. That is the only way left for us to have a bright and fine view for the future of mankind.
