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

It is believed by many people that

Instead

of purchasing expensive arts our

government

can spend that money anywhere else. In my opinion, I agree to

this

since money is a valuable resource and there are many causes that needs our governments urgent attention with financial help. Buying an

art

is expensive, but if our

government

is wasting its assets in arts

then

it is not a very good thing. As we know that in our country farmers always are in need of financial help,

government

can redirect their expenses and help them out.

This

would help the farmer’s community and increase the productivity of crops and vegetables. There has been cases farmer suicides where they weren’t able to pay back the loan because of some natural calamity the crops were damaged. So

instead

of giving money to artists for their impeccable

art

,

government

can help these farmers with their dues.

Secondly

,

instead

of buying

art

from outside our country, the

government

can export the national talent’s work and try to make a fortune out of that. Since buying from an international artist can cost a huge amount. So if we export our own artists to global level. It will not only help the artist to get recognized, but

also

can help improving his finances.

Also

, if our

government

buys

art

from a national artist it would cost them much less than what the international artists’ charges. In conclusion, I would say that

instead

of wasting resources on the arts,

government

should be helping those who are economically weak and need their urgent financial attention.
