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

The

art

reflects the culture of the

country

and depicts the creativity of individuals. Some people argue that the

government

should spend funds for the improvement of other sectors rather than investing in the

art

. I believe the

art

is as crucial as any other sector and should receive support from the

government

. The

art

is considered as a national interest and there are several reasons why the

government

should invest money in the

this

. One of the predominant reasons is that

art

reflects the culture of the

country

and promotes peoples understanding of their culture and architecture.

Secondly

,

art

attracts the tourists from the states and

this

brings revenue to the

country

.

For example

, the historical buildings and temples in India, which are attracting tourists from other countries, generate revenue for the

country

.

Thirdly

, museums and historical buildings, requires staff to preserve and protect them from damage,

this

has created employment for hundreds of people.

Moreover

, viewing and practicing arts are good sources of venting out stress and recreate. Without

government

funding, many of the

art

forms will die, and that will be an immense loss to the nation. Encouragement of arts from

government

improves the livelihood of thousands of people who base their career in the arts.

This

proves beneficial both to people who work on arts and others who enjoy

art

.

However

, spending on the arts should not be at the expense of other sectors

such

as healthcare, education, and defence. They are certainly more vital and should receive more funding, but it is just that

art

should not be neglected. In conclusion, considering the advantages, it is clear that investing in

art

is not squandering the funds. Since every sector has its contribution to the development of the

country

, the

government

should distribute the money evenly, to all including the

art

sector.
