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

In

this

contemporary era, financing on arts,

music

and

theatre

is a mere wastage of funds by the

government

instead

it should invest in civil services. There is a widespread worry that

this

will only lead to a myriad of concerns in one’s life.

However

, I do not entirely accept

this

and I will explain why in the following essay. There are numerous reasons why the

government

spends money on public work.

Firstly

, constructing hospitals for the poor which improves the standard of living in the country. If the

government

does not spend enough amount on hospitals, the health of our society may decline.

Secondly

, building free schools to make optimum use of it by the lower category of people.

Also

, it will be the poor in our society that will be affected more if we do not spend enough on

such

things because they are the ones more dependent on

such

services.

For example

, in a recent article, I read in the newspaper states that a boy from slum became a millionaire after gaining skills from the

government

school.

However

,

this

does not mean that arts should be neglected by the

government

completely. Art institutions rely on

government

funding to run their services and sustain themselves in the market. Theatres and

music

may have to close if there are no funds given to them by the

government

.

Moreover

, the arts,

music

and

theatre

do have an impact on the quality of life for society. Theatres provide the entertainment and act as a stress buster whereas

music

gives immense pleasure to the mass.

For instance

, people prefer watching

theatre

in order to get rid of their stressful life. To conclude, investment in public services by the

government

is a tremendous job done by the

government

but funding arts,

music

and

theatre

is not a waste of money as well.
