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

As an introduction,

art

is unique to every country

and holds an immense value in the culture of particular parts of the world. A fair amount of people nowadays believe that the

government

should not spend an excessive amount of money on

art

,

instead

of spending on other necessities of the country. In my opinion, I strongly agree with the idea considering the current economical crisis.

To begin

with, there are many reasons, why the financial priority should be the basic needs.

Firstly

, thousands of people are living in poverty without having the opportunity in basic needs of life

such

as food, health, and education.

For example

, currently,the

government

has cut down the annual allocation for hospitals and schools, which of course, is a harmful decision in the face of civilians.

Furthermore

, the money can be spent on programmes which are important in the development.

For instance

, the exportation of products like tea, rubber and coconut can be promoted by funding adequately in order to enhance income.

In contrast

,

art

is invaluable,

thus

it needs an adequate amount of money, not in excess.

Art

varies with the culture and civilisation of societies, and it has its own value. It is the best source of generating revenue income for the

government

. Museums,

art

galleries, and musical concerts are the place, where a handsome revenue is taken.

Therefore

, the

government

is responsible for protecting

such

masterpieces and should do it carefully by not compromising other necessities. In conclusion, in my opinion,

art

should be protected, but basic needs must be the priority when allocating funds.
