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 the sentence?

These days, the government spends a large part of its budget not only on public

services

but

also

on 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 wealth. There are several reasons for spending a significant amount of the government budget on public

services

.

First

and foremost, public

services

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

Similarly

, if not enough fund is spent on schools, our 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

business.

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 ministry, 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 spending property on the craft is a waste of money as

this

too provides important benefits
