Is it important to teach the arts and humanities to children?
Main argument:
Premise 1: Humanities class gives kids sense about where they come from.
Premise 2: Humanities helps kid to develop skills they need to grow up.
Premise 3: Art relaxes your mind.
Premise 4: Art helps kids to express their emotions.
Conclusion: therefore kids should be taught humanities
Counterargument:
Premise 1: art classes are a drain to the economy.
Premise 2: art educations are considered a distraction.
Conclusion: therefore humanities and art are a waste of time. …show more content…
They just provided an opportunity to muck around and make fun of the subject itself. It’s on a par with gender studies.” Said Bobby at http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-10-14/anderson-why-this-elitist-attack-on-arts-education-is-wrong/5811748 . This example reinforces my arguments now I could say that it depends how the arts classes are used.
The primary disagreement between the sides will likely rest on whether art classes is a distraction. Certainly depends of how is been used. Art classes could be used to teach children with language deficiency or problems to learn how to speak through art and of course using the money the right way and giving them art classes as needed not because they have a credit to learn at school. Art classes should be teach at school to help learn another subjects not for a hobby that is why I suggest that parents should pay for those classes if they want their children to be more
