In the article “Necessary Edges: Arts, Empathy, and Education by Yo-Yo Ma, he discusses how art is used in our everyday lives, such as music, which helps build culture. Ma’s main focus of his writing is to elaborate on the significant factor of art through two acronyms. The two acronyms are called S.T.E.M, which implies the education of (science, technology, engineering, math) and S.T.E.A.M, (science, technology, engineering, art, technology) which adds the importance of Art. On the other hand, in the article “We Are a Camera” by Nick Paumgarten, Nick digs into the meat and greedy of how cameras can negatively impact our lives and take away the actual experience of a iconic moment. In this writing, I will be explaining how Paumgarten

In “Necessary edges: Arts, Empathy, and education”, Ma talks about the importance of art and its critical role in our lives. In the quote “For me the most proficient way to teach the values of collaboration, flexibility, imagination, and innovation- all the skill sets needed in today’s world- is through performing arts” (pg.259), Ma is basically stating that the way to teach all the skill sets needed in today’s world, art is needed, which shows the critical role that art plays in our lives. On the other hand, Paumgarten buries the value of cameras and states how it can promote dangerous activities. He states that “ In 2012, he was arrested, with a fellow Base jumper named James Brady, while attempting to jump off a thirty three story tower” (pg.340). Paumgarten’s quote shows how the innovation of GoPro cameras have a negative value because it promotes dangerous activities, but Ma’s quote shows how art plays a positive role in our lives and makes us humane by allowing individuals to be expressive, creative, and empathetic.

Ma is a firm believer that (steam) should be introduced more, which is (stem) with the addition of art. Ma believes that skills such as collaboration, flexibility, imagination, and innovation are all needed in today’s world, and the most proficient way to teach the value is through the concept of art. Art can be used so many ways such as music, which then can introduce the factor of globalization. Ma states that “What I’ve found is that the interactions brought by globalization don’t just destroy culture; they can create new culture and invigorate and spread traditions” (pg.260). In this quote, Ma is pointing out that creating art will have more of an outcome that one would expect, particularly leading to a change in tradition. Paumgarten shows signs of this exact same positive effect that comes from cameras. One for instance is stated by Paumgarten “ Apparently, psychologists and neurologists have discovered that photos or video of an event are more effective than notes or conversation at helping people remember an experience” (pg.337), which basically means that cameras have a positive outcome and will have a long-term effect. The connection between the two quotes that the innovation of cameras and art have positive
