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?

Some people argue that

government

expenditure for budgeting in public

service

should be a priority

instead

of spending in the arts

sector

, which is wasting a budget plan.

This

essay agrees that

government

should play a role in investing money in public

service

,

nevertheless

, the

government

must not overlook the

sector

of

art

due to a society's need to enjoy entertainment and attraction. The significance of investing in the

art

sector

such

as music and theatre by the

government

is entertaining, educating and attracting the society, on top of that, they can get a higher profit through

art

activities.

For instance

, the local people and tourists get entertainment and new insight into Indonesian culture through a Gambang Kromong music concert.

Moreover

, the

government

can make a profit and benefit from its event and

also

can allocate the money into the other sectors.

However

, the

government

should invest and allocate the budget for public

service

areas as a priority. When the public

sector

has an improving

service

in several aspects of social life, it will increase public trust and convenience towards the

government

,

also

making the society live in the welfare.

For example

, the

government

allocates more of a budget for an educational institution, particularly in educational instruments and teachers’ salaries.

As a result

, the students’ output will attain the maximum of competency and gain the highest score. To sum up,

although

budgeting the money in the

Art

sector

gain more beneficial through music concert or theatre, the

sector

of public

service

is most important to become a priority of the budgeting for increasing the public trust and convenience.
