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 with this statement??

Many people hold the view that funding on

art

sections is wasting budgets, while many others think it is better to invest in public services and communities. To some ,extend I tend to disagree with

this

point of view. Due to the type of ,country It can be profitable or not. Lots of developing

countries

first

need to provide facilities than amenities. To put it simply, they have to prioritize the healthcare system and education over luxury sections

such

as

art

.

For instance

, the people who do not have the literacy and are not well-educated and even basic needs of normal life

such

as mental and physical health, enough food to eat and healthy and sufficient resource of water are too busy to comprehend and appreciate the value of an artwork.

On the other hand

, many developed

countries

have the opportunity to provide amenities in arts

besides

other core sections.

This

will encourage creativity and promotes harmony in their society. Take European

countries

as an example. Along being highly facilitated you can see many at-the-state-of-

art

museums, galleries, theatres and so on.

In addition

to their attraction of millions of tourist and as ar result economical benefits, they are representing their culture and history wisely. But what if historical

countries

cannot afford the funding as is so-called a developing one ? In

this

case, the best way may be to persuade wealthy patrons to subsidise

this

section. What I mean by

this

is that along with the government they can help save their historical and cultural heritages.

This

promotes national pride and absolutely encourages other people to take part . So there will not be great pressure on the government anymore. In conclusion,

although

many

countries

cannot afford the budget to appreciate

art

as it deserves and many still think it is a waste of time and money; In my ,idea both

art

and core services

such

as education and healthcare systems play a vital role in society. The main responsibility lies not only with the government but

also

with individuals.
