Are writers and artists as important to society as scientists and engineers?

Writers and Artists are just as important as scientists and engineers because even though they do not accomplish the same task they both do much good for the planet. Writers can make people feel connected and put a calming sense into them by reading a book or novel.  Writers can connect with the reader through personal experiences. Artists are in a way very similar to engineers because they both design and create masterpieces. From paintings to massive sky scrapers they all started with a little idea. Each idea enhances the world around us. People do need places to live and health care but we also need a way to connect with others. In most conversations two people will be talking about something to do with writing or art. Without writers and artists people would have a harder time communicating with others. Books and art can help people going through hard times and having a book to read may help them forget about what is bothering them. Writers and artists are equally important to society as scientists and engineers are because they both produce a  very positive impact on the world around us.
