According to Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States is ranked 17th in the world in education. The United States fall behind those of China and India in all areas, “ China and India will eat America 's lunch” state 's Chester E. Finn, Jr. and Diane Ravitch in the New York Journal. Many believe that the way to excell the way China and India do is to focus primarily on the STEM subjects but that is not the case. Globally there have been many advancements in science and technology in which the United States students are behind, but in order to make the United States competitive again educators must understand that STEM subjects and outside science subjects work individually as well as influencing each other

For example, as stated in Not By Geeks Alone, “these enthusiasts don 't understand that what makes Americans competitive on a shrinking, globalizing planet isn 't out-gunning Asians at technical skills. Rather, it 's our people 's creativity, versatility, imagination, restlessness, energy, ambition and problem-solving prowess.” With subjects such as art and music will increase the creativity as well as the imagination the student will have. According to Chester E. Finn, Jr. and Diane Ravitch a study conducted by Center on Education Policy states that nearly half of U.S. Districts have cut the time used for art and music in half. This will decrease the imagination of the students which in turn hinder the prosperity of student 's future. In the document Educated Student: Global citizen or Global Consumer?, written by Benjamin Barber states that in 1776, the government needed educated people to become its citizen body. This is where the outside science subject history comes into play. For example, the founding fathers of this nation were working on a democracy which was a “inventive, challenging, experimental new system of government,” so they needed educated men in order for this successfully ( Barber 201,. The foundering father did not require men to be educated in science or math but in history and politics. With the new …show more content…
For example, if government funds were distributed equally and the emphasis would be equal then there would be more competition, creativity and ambition. If the time spent on art and music was put back to normal then the creativity and imagination would increase dramatically. With the increase in creativity and imagination the future engineers and doctors would come up new technology and new inventions that they had imagined. For example, the invention of the 3D printer was an invention that used primarily for art. Overtime, through the idea of bringing 3D printer and STEAM together, the printer started being used for the STEM subjects such as engineering and replica of what they were designing. Furthermore, the 3D printer is now being used in the world of medicine in which doctors are using it to create plastic bones for patients. This is only one way of how art influences and help STEM prosper. Furthermore, STEm can help art as well. A video by Suli Breaks, Why I hate school but love education, explains the idea that individuals will become successful in their own way. For example, Suli mention Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, and Muhammed Ali, who excelled in different aspects of society. Creamology is another example of how STEM influences art, creamology is a ice cream parlor that creates ice cream using liquid nitrogen in a fun and innovative
