1 ‘Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

’ (John Dalberg-Acton) Explain

the reasoning behind this statement. Argue that power does not necessarily degrade or weaken the
morals of those who hold it. To what extent is it possible for someone to hold power without using it
for their own personal gain?

2 Science and art once collaborated as equals to further human knowledge about the world. Today,
science is far too advanced and specialised to work together with the arts for this purpose. Explain
what you think is meant by the statement. Argue that science and the arts can still work together to
further understanding of the world. To what extent do you agree with the statement?

What I think about the statement

Science field develop faster in this modern age, james webbs telescope is being launched. – means
that the sciences, technologies and math (STEM) is developing in a faster pace, compare to arts.

Arts, music, drawing, entertainment, study of the culture, not only about entertainment – what is
the notion of the human at that moment – example, music, baroque period, romantic period,
classical period and 20th century. These different style of music reflect the culture and the thought of
the people in the period. Study of history – to know more about the world.

Understanding of the world, including study for future, and study of the history, prepare for our
future and figure out the human origin

-art progress too slow with science to widen the human perspective towards this world

The human mankind is trying to find out the human origin – about this planet and this universe

How this universe be built? Where the organisms come from? And in the other word, where human

-art is useless – perspective like this – they think like art is useless – do not contribute to the study
and unable to help us to understand this world well

-I agree with the statement – art can work together with the science

-art – field – emotional – more expression of emotion – science – more rational – and based on the
data – science express more based on the data while art express more depends on the emotion –
human is a combination of art and science – when science work together with art – understand
better – actually – music can help to improve our concentration – benefits to our brain and health -
especially classical music – composer – Beethoven and Mozart give good impact to the brain waves –
music is one of the therapy method in medical field.

Soft music can release stress

Arts play an important role in human study – about the history and culture – different period –
civilisation – know more about our ancient – via the mural on the wall of the caves, try to
understand - figure out what is the meaning they are going to convey

The art of the nature – biology geography – human -

Explain what I think

My opinion is
Art is a study for us to know more about the culture, study of human, and the beauty of nature,
mesmerising the beauty of nature while science, is the
