Many suggest that entertainers can contribute to society as greatly as scientists.

I completely
agree with this suggestion, despite the tangible benefits that science offers to humanity. 

Those objecting to the idea that entertainers are equally important might predicate their
arguments on how human’s health has vastly improved thanks to the devotion of scientific
researchers. For the untiring dedication and even sacrifices of countless scientists over the
last century, remedies for once fatal and chronic diseases such as smallpox, polio, and HIV
had been introduced, thus treating and curing tens of millions of patients each year. Because
of this, humans’ average life expectancies in many nations worldwide have increased by up
to 10 years after just a few decades. Considering such contributions to medical
breakthroughs, it is justifiable to conclude that scientists should be crowned as the most
pivotal members of society. 

However, I believe it is simply unwise to overlook the role of entertainers. One reason for this
belief is that modern citizens are increasingly suffering from anxiety due to work stress,
unrealistic academic expectations, and peer pressures. This has led to an unprecedented
level of depression and mental illnesses among teenagers and working adults. Therefore, the
roles of singers, artists, and actors are more needed than ever. By providing the general
population with intriguing songs, works of art, and movies of all genres, entertainers can
help temporarily detach people from their mundane and monotonous life and sometimes give
them a sense of purpose. Without artists to enliven life, society would be filled with corporate
slaves merely existing to do reports and calculate figures. 

In conclusion, while the significance of scientists is undeniable, especially in the healthcare

sector, increased longevity is meaningless if people live a tedious life longer. For this reason,
I’m strongly convinced that we should attach equal importance to both entertainers and
scientific researchers.
