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?
The government is indeed focusing to spend their resources on
art
. Most people thought that it was a waste of money, arguing the authorities should allocate their budget to the public sector. In my opinion, this
argument is completely flawed and there is a reasonable argument to fund arts
even more.
Art
investment is important for public society. That means the government is concerned about their citizens' happiness by allowing their people to enjoy their life by watching music, art
gallery exhibitions and theatrical performance. Moreover
, the fine arts
are necessary to educate the young generation to appreciate the culture and traditions. For example
, it has been proved that studied on the arts
can improve the cognition of students to achieve better results in their field of interest subject as well as improve their creativity. In other words
, art
may not be pleasant, but also
very effective.
Public services and art
can take part in the work collaboration. Attracting people to come to the place as part of the promotion in the social group, school, and generations. Furthermore
, arts
can improve our society's joyfulness, keep life balanced, and reduce stress. In addition
, arts
do not require spending too many budgets compare to the public services facilities of lesser significance. For instance
, based on the surveyed art
contribution only 5% on average of the total expenditure is being spent annually. Hence
, reducing and cutting finance for art
will not make any difference.
To summarize, from my point of view, there will not be a significant difference and financially impacted for the government to invest in the art
such
as music, and theatre as long as the authorities spend wisely and give the benefit to the citizen. Likewise
, public services will take advantage of cooperation between both parties.Submitted by raden.rusdiana on
