Government investment in the arts, such as music and theatre, is a waste of money. Governments must invest this money in public services instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some people believe that government spending on different forms of art, is wastage of funds.
Although
, it is necessary to channel a proportion of state money toward Linking Words
this
sector, I would argue that most should be spent on public services.
One the one hand, It is important that the government spends a significant amount of its budget on public services because these are our hospitals, roads and schools, and they determine quality of life. Linking Words
For example
, the UK ministry has recently reduced public spending on health and education, resulting in increased waiting lists for hospital treatments and fewer teachers, both of which will have Linking Words
further
adverse effects in the future. Linking Words
This
demonstrates the importance of ensuring that a large proportion of law money is spent on public services as it is the only way to maintain standards and accessibility for everyone.
Linking Words
On the other hand
, Linking Words
this
does not mean that the arts should be completely neglected. Linking Words
Firstly
, it is difficult for many arts institutions to generate much profit because people are not prepared to pay high entrance fees for places Linking Words
such
as art galleries or theatres, so without some help from the regime, Linking Words
such
places may have to close. Linking Words
Also
, the arts have an important impact on our quality of life, with many people getting great pleasure in going to see music and theatre performances. Not only Linking Words
this
, the performing arts and literary arts Linking Words
such
as dance and books help to keep our culture and history alive for future generations.
To conclude, Linking Words
although
the majority of power spending should be directed towards public services, spending money for the arts is not a waste and should continue. The state should invest the majority of its income in basic services for the population.Linking Words
