Most artists earn low salaries and should therefore receive funding from the government in order for them continue with their work. To what extend do you agree or disagree?

Many people are of the opinion that artists who do not earn a decent income should be supported by the

government

. I do not agree with

this

point of view because I believe

government

funding should be spent on pressing social problems and

also

because artists can find alternative sources of income to support themselves.

Government

funding should be used to deal with pressing problems rather than support artists. Investment in the art industry contributes little to improving the standard of living of the general public. Art, after all, has been considered as luxury item by the majority of people and has nothing to do with their everyday life.

By contrast

, education and health care are more closely related to people’s

well being

a contented state of being happy and healthy and prosperous

wellbeing

. By pouring more money

to

Suggestion

into

these areas, the

government

can make education more affordable and accessible for young people and

thus

provide them better opportunities for their future employment. At the same time, state funding

also

enables medical facilities function properly and

this

can offer better health services to citizens. All these improvements contribute to the betterment of people’s lives.

Moreover

, like any other

professionals artists

Accept comma addition

professionals, artists

can find other financial resources and support themselves.

To begin

with, artists can cooperate with other organizations and companies by providing creative ideas and graphic designs.

This

helps them to earn extra income and reduce their reliance on

government

help. Another point is that artists nowadays can take advantages of the modern technology

such

as social media networking to promote their own artworks and sell them worldwide. To conclude, in my perspective,

government

funding should be spent on education and health care so as to benefit more people and artists should find alternative financial resources by selling their creative ideas and artworks.
