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

Art

is considered an essential part of all countries around the world,

however

many people think governments need to spend more of their budget on other aspects of the economy because they believe spending on

art

is wasting money. In my opinion, I disagree that governments should decrease budgets for

art

development with the reasons shown below.

Firstly

,

art

is considered an important literature of a

country

which records history.

For example

, people used to draw pictures to document/remember something like the appearance of a building or person before the camera was produced.

Moreover

, in some countries,

art

has a significant role with governments establishing and maintaining organizations to protect it.

Therefore

, people in these countries can visit museums free of cost as maintenance and promotion fees are undertaken by the government. If they do not allocate enough money on

art

, it might not be protected well,

then

people will not know the history though

art

in the future.

On the other hand

,

art

benefits the economy of a

country

.

For instance

, movies, music, and crafts are derived from

art

. These are considered very lucrative in some nations like Korea,

thus

the films of Korea are translated into many languages,

then

sold to different countries. If the films are widely popular, it will increase the income of a

country

because the number of tourists who visit Korea will increase. In conclusion,

although

many individuals think that the government needs to spend money in other areas, I believe that allocating more budget for

art

could benefit the economy and it is essential of recording the history of a

country

.
