Some people think that government is wasting money on arts which can be used some where else. To what extent do you agree?

Since ancient times

art

has played a significant role in our life. It is a clear representation of human culture.

However

, spending

money

by the government on

such

art

programs is a contradiction between the two mindsets of people. while I completely deny that spending

money

on

such

programs is a wastage of

money

. Like human life,

art

has an evolving history. When there was no easy way of communication

art

was the only option to transfer information from one source to another or from one generation to another. It was

art

that gave birth to many languages. It started with drawing symbolic information on leaves, stones, trees, houses, etc.

Moreover

,

this

way

further

led to a classification of societies and civilizations in the past.

This

generated number of tools that helped humans to present life. Many museums today built by governments generally display

such

historical

art

monuments.

This

attracts a number of tourists across the globe. So spending

money

to save

such

gadgets, buildings or

such

monuments is never a cost to any government. It even creates so many jobs in nearby communities. Like any other thing, these things need extra care but with time new creations contribute well and become good revenue sources for that location.

For example

- the Taj mahal which is an iconic building in Agra city of India has justified its role in tourism. We should never forget that

art

does not have any boundaries. It changes its shape with time. In conclusion, every intellectual thing which a human can do is actually an

art

. If we dig more in-depth, we

then

clearly understand that stone culture which evolved us among all species was actually an

art

. So saving

art

is equally important as history or culture.
