Consider the  view that  more scientists than  artists  are needed in the  world today.

This essay explores the comparative usefulness of scientists and artists in the modern world. Knowing that the world today  depends heavily on the use of technology for survival, it is not surprising that  scientists are seen to  be  more  useful.  Artists are  considered  to  be  inconsequential to  the  overall  survival of societies as their usefulness is often  to abstract to be understood by the laypeople.

It is important  to  compare and  contrast between the  functions  and  purposes of scientists  versus artists  based on the  modern world contexts. The comparisons must be based on recognised criteria. Ensure that   the   comparison  is  within characteristics of the modern world.
