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

In

this

day and age, the living standard is developing rapidly, which leads to the increasing human need for entertainment, certainly,

art

. A group of

people

believes that the government is squandering

money

on the

arts

and that

money

could be spent on other purposes. From my point of view, l totally agree with

this

view. The main reason why l support

this

idea is that

art

does not play an important role in society.

According to

a recent survey, the proportion of

people

who are usually doing

art

is decreasing fastly. Since the income from doing

art

is not enough for

people

to live, gifted

people

tend to look for other works that may bring them a high salary.

Furthermore

,

money

should be spent on serious public problems being extremely necessary for enhancing the economy of the country.

For instance

, the healthcare system needs more funds than the

arts

, because having healthy

people

contributes greatly to having a high budget level. In the second place, the government can use the

money

to do more meaningful things for the country

instead

of spending on the

arts

. Doing charity is one of the most typical examples. Children will have more chances to go to school and the poor will have a stable life if they receive grants from the government. Once the ‘

art

fund’ changes to ‘charity fund’, more schools and education centres will be built in order to create studying opportunities for poor students. In conclusion, it is unnecessary to spend

money

on the

arts

and that

money

should be used for other purposes.

Therefore

, the quality of life will be improved quickly, which leads to the advancement of society.
