Prompt:

“Scientific, not artistic, creations, should be the indicator of the value of civilization.”

Art and Science have been developed almost at the same speed. Even though Art has left numerous, and some of the most notorious landmarks during the develop of society, Science landmarks has started to take place most notoriously in the last two hundreds of years, which, by now, have been indicators of development to the present time.

In the past Art has portrayed most of the different stages of civilization, for example ,in the prehistoric era where cavemen painted on the walls of their caves to represent how was their way of living, and presenting one idea of evolution, “the society”. Or time after that in the medieval era where art was presenting an idea of religion, where the church created a dogma in the expression of ideas in all aspects of civilization from art to science, that left the free thinkers the only way to express their ideas thru art by standards of the church. No that much time later free thinkers began to express themselves by their own standards defying the church posture, starting a revolution of ideas, creating various stages like the Baroque, the Romanticism, and the Neo Modernism, among many others. Each one of this stages was represented by a strict type of techniques used in paintings, music and sculptures, defining, this way landmarks of the evolution of civilization.

In the last couple of hundreds of years the advances in technology and science has developed much faster than it has done it in the whole history in mankind. Advances in Medicine, Technology and many others started to leave marks in the modern society in this last hundred years defining stages faster than art did in the past, countries showed their power thru scientific advances, and the perfect examples are the U.S., Russia, and Japan, all of them trying to show their advances during war, also trying to be first one in technology as the nuclear bomb was invented, man got to the moon, medicine overcome polio, the first computer was invented, new physics theories were described and tested every day, internet was created leaving us with great opportunities in communication . In the last 20 years science has had progressed even faster, creating new generations of computers, drugs and communications, almost every five years or even lesser.

By now, almost every country is seen by other countries in wether they have the best and newest technology or not. So, first world countries have latest technologies, the best facilities, have the best scientist and are preparing the best scientist in the future, countries in development are trying to catch up, and that goal could take them years to achieve.

Art showed up and defined the most important stages of civilization in the past each one of them with their own characteristics, while now, science is defining the stages and power of the countries summing or extracting value to themselves.

Bueno, lo dejo, espero sus criticas, y seguire trabajando para hacerme mas “habil” en la oraganizacion de ideas, que fue lo que me retrasó mas en este ejercicio. No busque referencias de ningun tipo todo salió de mi cabeza, y eso lo hace mas dificil.

En fin, a dormir!
