The government’s investment in arts, music and theater is a waste of money. Government should invest these funds in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

There is a claim that investing state budget in arts, music and

a waste of money,

, it should be used for public services. Even though I agree that public services are more crucial, governments should set aside a budget for development of the art and culture sector. The art and culture sectors do not really help to solve major issues for societies, especially in the level of national economics. With

this

in mind, the state budget should be used for upgrading public service

as healthcare, education or infrastructure. An improved public service can enhance the overall quality of life and it is vitally important for their well-being.

For instance

the absence of health care services will create serious problems.

This

is a reason why governments should consider public service investment as a priority sector.

On the other hand

, investing in arts, music and

cannot be considered a total waste of money, because they are a part of culture and society which can be carried from

, particularly in relation to tourism.

For example

, a public museum can display valuable sculptures or can show historical documentary films for young

to learn about history, at the same time it can

generate money from cultural tourism. For these reasons, governments should continue to support the arts with public funding. In conclusion, government should consider public services as the main investment priory and spend a major portion of the funds to upgrade public services.

However

, arts, music and

should

also

receive financial support because both of them play important roles in different aspects.
