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

It is thought by some that the

government

is squandering

money

on the arts, and

this

money

could be better spent on vital areas. In my opinion, I strongly agree that the state should not be frivolous with

money

and spend

this

money

on vital areas

such

as

education

or

healthcare

Suggestion

health care

. A good reason not to waste

money

on the arts is that art does not play a vital role in

society

, and it has more detrimental effects on

society

as a whole. One of these problems is that some art encourages rebellion against the

government

as it fuels violence and incites hatred.

This

could lead to deleterious impacts on

society

in the long run. Another obvious issue with the arts is that it can be used by some artists to criticize religion, and

this

is deeply offensive.

As a result

, the

government

is not obligated to spend

money

on

somethings

Suggestion

some things

can bring about more problems. Another point to consider is that funding ought to be better granted to more pressing social issues. To put it another way, any

country

in the world now is suffering from critical problems on how it can support people’s basic needs,

such

as

education

,

healthcare

Suggestion

health care

system, and providing clean water.

For example

,

education

should be prioritized over the arts because increasing the number of educated people will bring greater rewards to

society

as a whole. If a

country

has a great resource of skilled and knowledgeable professionals,

this

can bring more economic advantages to

this

country

in the long term.

Finally

, the

government

is not responsible to spend

money

to protect the arts because there are enough wealthy patrons around to subsidize the arts.

For instance

, a businessman in Egypt donated over ten millions of dollars to construct an art gallery because he is considered one of the art-loving people in the

country

.

Furthermore

, the

money

generated from entry fees can be used to restore and protect artworks.

This

income from entry fees means that the

government

will have more

money

to spend on vital areas. In conclusion, it is better if the

money

was allocated to support people’s basic needs,

such

as improving the

healthcare

Suggestion

health care

system or funding higher

education

instead

of wasting

this

money

on the arts. Art will not help people to find a job later on.
