Key concepts in this essay

intrinsic value of arts (culture, meaning, beauty) vs. instrumental value of science (health, safety, progress)
economic allocation and funding priorities
social utility and long-term benefit
interdependence of arts and technology

Pitfalls the model essay avoids

Creating a false binary (can't value both arts and science) without exploring interdependence
Using vague claims ('art is necessary for the soul') without evidence or reasoning
Missing that attention/funding is zero-sum (resources spent on art vs. medical research do matter)
