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

Art

sometimes reflects the heritage of a country and depicts the creativity of an individual. Even though some people think that spending money on the arts is a complete waste, I disagree with that and wholeheartedly believe that it is the

government

's responsibility to protect the

culture

. In

this

essay, I will discuss the predominant reasons why investing significant sums of money in the

art

sector have a positive effect on the economy. There are some justifications by people who support spending on promoting the arts.

Firstly

, the arts

are considered

Suggestion

is considered

a national interest. Most countries have

art

museums all over the country that exhibit ancient arts and interested people can visit free of charge, which promotes people’s understanding of their

culture

and architecture. Tourists,

for instance

, from all over the world travel to visit arts that express the cultural heritage of the country of destination.

Thus

, the cost of maintenance should be undertaken by the

government

.

Secondly

, since

art

plays an important role in the lives of people, encouragement of arts from the

government

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

This

proves beneficial both to people who work in the arts and others who enjoy the arts.

Furthermore

,

art

is part of a

culture

that becomes the identity of a nation and if the

culture

is strong enough, eventually could be a major source of income. To conclude, considering every aspect and condition, I strongly agree that the

government

is responsible for the arts and cultural heritage because it is not only the identity of a nation but

also

accounts for a portion of economic income.
