Governments give a lot of support to artists, even though some people think it is a waste of money that could have been used elsewhere. Discuss both views and give your opinion

One of the most controversial issues today relates to the government's support for

artists

,

although

some believe

this

financial support is a waste of money and authority resources that could be spent elsewhere. In

this

,article I am going to examine

this

question from both points of view and

then

give my own opinion on the matter.

To begin

with, on one side of the argument, there are people who argue that the benefits of supporting

artists

and their works outweigh its disadvantages.

Furthermore

, the main reason for

this

belief is that there is a strong link between

art

,

culture

and civilization.

As a result

, by supporting

artists

and promoting their work, other aspects of our society and

culture

are

also

improved. One good illustration of

this

is that German society has advanced a lot in terms of

culture

and

art

because people's tax money is spent on supporting crafts.

Moreover

, it is

also

possible to say that if

artists

are supported by the government, they can serve the education and development of the country and stop spending their time on a

second

job to earn income and focus entirely on their work, which increases the welfare of

artists

' lives.

However

,

on the other hand

, it is

also

possible to make the opposing case. It is often argued that the government should spend the community's taxes and its budget in the way of investing in the education system, the transformation system and the material aspects of the country.

In addition

, people often have

this

opinion because only material progress in the field of industry and education is important, and progress in the field of

art

is not important in the country's approach. As well as

this

, a

second

point is that

culture

and civilization are more affected by the negative effects of poverty and economic crisis than by the positive effect of

art

, so it is better that authority funds are spent on solving economic crises than on supporting

artists

. In conclusion, I think both arguments have their own merits. On balance,

however

, I tend to believe that financial support for

artists

is justified.

This

is because by supporting

art

, the spiritual and non-material aspects of the community are strengthened and the society can experience great growth in the cultural field.
