Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?

Some

people

argue that the government should spend the money anywhere need it

instead

of supporting the

arts

. I totally disagree with

this

opinion because

arts

can benefit society and improve individuals' problem-solving

skills

and creative thinking.

Firstly

,

arts

will benefit our whole society because they will cultivate public aesthetic appreciation capability and make the community beautiful to improve the happiness of lives.

Arts

are an expression of

people

's feelings of happiness, beauty and sometimes sadness. The expression will evoke a similar feeling from the viewers and

then

inspire them. The

arts

will influence us in every aspect, including buildings, public areas, the style of doors, windows, and even the clothes

people

are wearing, you name it.

For example

, the Statue of Liberty inspires anyone who visits New York City and watches it. The statue not only decorates the city but

also

provides spiritual motivation to

people

.

Moreover

, art education can improve

people

's problem-solving

skills

and creative thinking which are critical for human beings to advance. Many countries have put art courses, like painting and music, into the compulsory subject list of primary schools and middle schools. They have been verified to be very helpful for students to develop their intelligence and various

skills

which become their life-long assets.

For instance

, my son begin to be able to try things he dared not when he attended painting classes in which he eventually could find out solutions to express his thoughts in the assigned work. The practice of freely expressing himself encourages him to be more creative. In conclusion,

arts

will benefit society by making everything beautiful, inspiring

people

, and improving individuals'

skills

and aesthetic appreciation. It deserves the money that the government sponsors appropriately.
