In many countries, Government likes to spend more money on the arts. Some people agree with this. Others think the government should spend more on health and education. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

These days, the regime spends a large part of its budget not only on public services, but

also

the arts.

Although

I agree that it is important to spend money on public services, I do not think spending on the arts is a waste of cash. There are several reasons for spending a significant amount of the authority budget on public services.

First

and foremost, public services are the things

such

as hospitals, roads and schools, and these things determine the quality of life that most of us will have.

For example

, if the government does not spend enough money on hospitals, the health of our society may decline.

Similarly

, if not enough bill is spent on our schools, children may not be properly educated.

Also

, it will be the poor in our society that will be affected more if we do not spend enough on these things because they are the ones more dependent on

such

services.

However

,

this

does not mean that the arts should be completely neglected.

To begin

, it is difficult for many arts institutions to generate much profit, so without some help from the government, many theatres and other

such

places may have to close.

Moreover

, the arts

also

have an important impact on our quality of life. Many people get great pleasure in going to see music and theatre performances so it is important that the government assists

such

institutions so that they can continue to provide entertainment to the public. To sum up, there are clear benefits of ensuring a large amount of investment goes into public services as

this

influences the quality of life for nearly all of us. That said, I do not believe in spending money on the arts is a waste of cash as

this

too provides important benefits.
