People’s intellectual,
social and personal development are highly influenced by cultural values. With
this understanding, I believe that it is important for students to require art
and music class in school. This is because art and music class enables students
to strengthen interpersonal skills and enjoy a better quality of life.
Firstly, art and music class enables students to
strengthen interpersonal skills. Understanding the daily social environment of
people and the potential role of the cultural values like art and music is
necessary to substantiate this view. For instance, I engaged in various
academic studies during university and graduate school years. In addition to my
major, I was interested in studying diverse areas such as art and music. This
was extremely useful to helping me to build interpersonal skills for later years
in society. In one situation, I joyfully continued talking with my clients who were interested in art and music after meeting. These
common interesting interests about art
and music can improved our conversation
of quality, which is makes us closely relationship which helped us get closer. Also, my bosses were
pleased to listen to my opinions on current events reported in newspapers about
art and music. In this regard, I argue that art and music class allows students
to strengthen interpersonal skills.
Secondly, art and music class enables students to enjoy a
better quality of life. Interestingly, a renowned social scientist in South
Korea published an article in “The Korean Herald” last Tuesday which claims
that art and music class makes people to
strengthen competitiveness in society. The article argues that the 83 percent
of 200 Korean leading recruiters prefer people who have a better understanding about art and music. The recruiters showed such a tendency
because they tended to be more creative and
sentimental. This is because creativity and sentimental thinking enhance work
performance. These factors can helpful unexpected successful works and in persuading customers, which result in job
promotions and consequently help students who had
taken art and music class to enjoy a better quality of life. I thought of this
report because the results of the survey resonated with my thoughts.
To sum up, it is important for students to take art and
music class for the following reasons: strengthening interpersonal skills and
enjoying a better quality of life. Consequently, the importance of my view
cannot be underestimated for the reasons I have mentioned.
