The government's investment in arts, music and theatre is waste of money. Government should invest these funds in public service instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement.

Some people believe that spending money to develop arts,

music

and theatre

is

Suggestion

are

unnecessary. I completely disagree with

this

thought. The reasons to encourage these skills are the positive effects they have on the society and its people.

To begin

with the

sociocultural

side, most of the human history has artefacts related to creative skills

such

as

art

and

music

because they are an essential form of expression. By ignoring them, we are erasing all the possibilities of passing on our knowledge of culture and civilisation to future generations.

This

knowledge is a bridge between older and younger generations which keeps them connected.

For example

, the primitive cave drawings which are an

art

form, have created knowledge among Millenials about

the early

Suggestion

the earliest

humans.

In addition

, it is proven that learning these creative skills helps to develop patience and concentration.So, learning them not only helps the person in

art

, but

also

his creativity will expand to other parts of his life which will help him succeed in any other profession. A recent study in the The United States shows that the children who learn a musical instrument are more focused when compared to others.

However

, it is a governmental responsibility to serve the public, but, discouraging the arts,

music

and theatre cannot be a solution.

Instead

, in the best interest of its citizens, there should be a balance between investing in services and creative skills. In conclusion, the idea that government should not finance creative skills

such

as

art

,

music

and theatre is not practical. In fact, considering all the benefits that they offer, the government should take up more initiatives towards their development for the betterment of people and society.
