Many people think governments should spend money only on medical care and education and not theaters or sports stadiums. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, governments are increasingly conscious on the balanced investing and spending of resources across a wide variety of infrastructure like roads, governance, healthcare,
education
, sports, entertainment(
for example
community halls, theaters, auditoriums et cetra) so that the
people
are able to utilize them for their needs.
This
essay will examine
this
approach and provide scenarios to support
such
a concept which is primarily based on the famous saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy". I totally disagree on the spending done only on healthcare or
education
.
Firstly
, the citizen's health being important, requires good hospitals and specialized healthcare facilities, as the nation's progress is reflected by the net health of its
people
. A recent research shows that Bhutan has the happiest
people
in the world because of the fact that they are
also
the healthiest
people
. The same goes with
education
: the best example is Netherlands where a good number of their population are double graduates due to their good educational institutions. We see how important both medical care and
education
are important in a nation's growth.
Secondly
, one cannot neglect the sports which is a critical part of a person's life in keeping him/her fit and healthy. Taking active participation is part of all school/college syllabus so that a child gets all-round development. How can we forget the leisure activities of a society like entertainment: basically
music
and performing arts. Without
music
, it would not have been possible to hear really good
music
from legends
such
as Michael Jackson, Prince(Queen), Beatles and other renowned groups.
Music
actually refreshes and re-energises a person and is an equally important part of his well-being.
Finally
, we notice that for a country to progress in all spheres of human evolution, all key areas,
such
as medical care,
education
, sports, theater, governance are to be given balanced impetus and encouragement, so that their
people
are able to enjoy the good parts of life.
