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.Submitted by juntjtang on
