  I find fault in the reasoning, it’s probably the bussiness majors that profited the most from any band ever by pocketing half of whatever money they made.

    They make more profit from monetizing water

    The business major… reaps no reward from art and science… thus must weaken us (Art/STEM) to stay ahead

    The “fault in reasoning” you describe is saying the same thing: there’s no reward from art and science for business majors, so they must instead gain from (Art/STEM) by weakening them. Capitalize on profit and extract reward from (Art/STEM), because business majors themselves, can’t extract reward from the original process

    So they are the root cause of all evil

  In Canada we call it STEAM now. Because where the hell do you think design comes from?

    In Europe we have GOG instead
    G - science technology engineering maths O - ond G - gumanities

      G - gumanities

      Or as we like to call it, GNU/Gumanities.

    So I’d that just all college degrees besides business?

    My subjective interpretation of STEM is “degrees you need to know calculus for”. They’re all math heavy, with precise answers. While the arts are certainly important, I just don’t see how they fit that motif. What is this supposed to accomplish?

  A thousand apologies for bringing Chat GPT into this assignment, but, well, I couldn’t help myself.

  In this essay I will explore how the artificial divide between Arts and STEM disciplines has been perpetuated, the consequences of this separation, and the immense potential that lies in their collaboration. Using the example of Queen—a band whose members’ diverse academic backgrounds fueled their creative genius—I will argue that the intersection of artistic imagination and scientific rigor is not only possible, but essential for innovation and progress. Furthermore, I will examine the role that societal structures, particularly those influenced by business interests, have played in maintaining this divide, and how overcoming it could empower individuals and communities alike.

  First, let us consider the origins of this divide. Historically, the “Two Cultures” debate, popularized by C.P. Snow in the mid-20th century, framed the arts and sciences as fundamentally incompatible. This narrative has been reinforced by educational systems that require students to choose between creative and analytical paths early in their academic careers. As a result, students often internalize the belief that they must be either “artistic” or “scientific,” rarely both. This false dichotomy not only limits personal growth but also stifles the kind of interdisciplinary thinking that leads to groundbreaking achievements.

  Queen’s story challenges this narrative. Brian May’s background in astrophysics, Roger Taylor’s training in dentistry, Freddie Mercury’s art school experience, and John Deacon’s expertise in electronics all contributed to the band’s unique sound and stage presence. Their music is a testament to the power of combining technical skill with artistic vision—an approach that has resonated with millions and stood the test of time.

  But why does this divide persist? Here, I return to the business major, a metaphor for the systems and structures that benefit from keeping Arts and STEM apart. In a world where creativity and technical knowledge are siloed, those who control the means of production and distribution—often with business backgrounds—can more easily exploit both groups. By fostering competition rather than collaboration, they ensure that neither side realizes its full potential, maintaining the status quo and their own position of power.

  The consequences of this separation are profound. When artists and scientists work in isolation, society misses out on innovations that require both creative insight and technical expertise. From medical breakthroughs inspired by artistic anatomy studies to technological advances driven by aesthetic design, history is full of examples where collaboration has led to extraordinary results.

  In conclusion, the supposed rift between Arts and STEM is not a natural divide, but a constructed barrier that serves the interests of a select few. By recognizing our shared potential and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, we can unlock new possibilities and create a more vibrant, innovative, and equitable society. Just as Queen’s members combined their diverse talents to create music that transcends genres, so too can we bridge the gap between art and science to achieve greatness together.

    Replying to my own comment, I think the best tell that this is AI generated is the — character. There’s not even a key on the keyboard for that. Alt-0151 (on the keypad) is the only way I know how to get it.

      i think macos inserts those automatically if you do three dashes.

      There is a key for — on my phone. Just hold down the - key and it pops up as an option. I use it all the time.

      My organic chemistry professor spent a solid 30 minutes explaining the difference between an em dash and an en dash so we could use them correctly in our lab reports. Then ended his little lecture with saying "They're in the special character menu of your word processor. Unless you're on Mac, then I suggest googling them."

      I don't think any of us used either dash, but I'm just sad no one called him on his BS lol

    ngl, that’s a pretty good persuasive essay. Since the OP gave the prompt, it also took creative risks with an essay topic that is original, and doesn’t just parrot the consensus opinion on a well-trodden topic.

    I’d give this a really good grade up to grade 11.
