Some people argue that arts, such as paintings and music, are a waste of money and the government should spend this money other public services. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Presently, in many countries,

art

is considered as an important matter, and is subsidized by the

government

such

as painting, music, dance, theatre and cinema are able to express and convey the feeling of the artist and the society throughout time and space, which fact-based articles and books are unable to transfer. It can
