In many countries, governments spend large sums of money on the arts and this is supported by some taxpayers as worthwhile. Others, however, think that this money would be better spent on health and education. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Art

is considered an important part of society, and it portrays

culture

beautifully.

Therefore

, some countries spend a lot of their money on

art

. Some taxpayers support

this

.

However

, some people argue that

this

income should be spent more on

health

or

education

. I will discuss both views in

this

essay, and give my opinion. These days,

art

is becoming more popular and considered a crucial part of one's nation. Many kinds of

art

forms could be the advantages of one region that can be promoted for tourism.

for example

, the traditional dances of Balinese or Sundanese attract thousands of visitors every year.

Hence

, The Governments in many nations spend a higher proportion of their revenue on

art

. So that they can improve the tourism sector. Other reasons may include preserving the

culture

.

On the other hand

, the opponents argue that there are many sectors that should be given more attention and money

such

as

education

and

health

. it is a matter of fact that many children in many countries do not get the

education

they deserved as their parents can not afford it. It is

also

a prevalent problem in many nations

such

as Indonesia that many people can not afford the advanced

health

care they need without subsidies from the Government.

While

it is true that

art

is an important aspect of our

culture

and should be financed, I believe that for a country

such

as Indonesia, Money should be prioritized on youngsters'

education

and public

health

. When we have more income

then

it may be spent on preserving our

culture

including the arts.
