Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?

Some people see the government effort to promote the arts as a misuse of money which could be better invested in other sectors of

society

.

However

,

this

essay, disagreeing with

this

belief, is going to clarify the role of the arts in our

society

and explain why they deserve to be funded. Superficially,

Art

can be seen as an insignificant accessory in living. It is difficult for many to value

art

, especially If they compare it to other primary human needs

such

as alimentation and shelter.

For example

, a study shows that 85% of parents in the USA, believing that

Art

does not make a living, would be against their children pursuing a career in

this

field. In short, the arts are considered as futility only consumed by a tiny privileged elite. Despite the underestimation of the arts, they play a significant role in

society

. Human beings either create or obtain a work of

art

not only to decorate their spaces but

also

to gain some balance in their lives. By surrounding themselves of

art

, they try to avoid sadness.

For instance

, Imagine the World, with all its conflicts and wars, without any beautiful piece of

art

to compensate all crudeness we have been exposed. Indeed, life would be a tragedy in the absence of

art

. In conclusion,

this

essay argued that the view that the arts are not an asset in

society

is completely flawed. Humans need the beauty of

art

to strive. For

this

reason, the Governments, which are responsible for looking after their citizens' interests, must subsidise the arts to make them available to

everybod

all people
