Government invest in the arts, such as music and theatre is waste of money. Government must invest this money in public services instead. To what extent do you agree with this statement? Give reason for your answers and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.
These days
people
believe that politicians who are in charge of society
should spend money
on public services
instead
of artistic activities such
as music and theatre which are not important issues. This
essay disagrees that it is preferable to invest a huge amount of money
by different governments
in arts
in order to increase the general knowledge of society
and create an opportunity for the young generation to be more creative.
First of all, if a lot of investors are encouraged to put their money
into artistic activities, individuals' knowledge will be improved when different types of arts
level up. Since people
are faced with a variety of artistic subjects, they will learn about different things in better ways, so, they can use public services
in an efficient way. Also
, this
trend may lead people
to invest some money
in public services
voluntarily. For example
, in 2009 in Iran, about 300 public libraries were built by local people
in each neighbourhood after the government had created an atmosphere where everyone could learn arts
free of charge.
Second of all, investing money
from governments
in arts
could create a place where the young generation's creativity could be enhanced. Most teenagers' minds need to be bombarded with different types of valuable information that can only be gained from music, theatre, and other types of art. So, if governments
provide useful artistic materials for them, they could be more creative. As a consequence
, they can invent some public facilities that not only are good for society
but also
would reduce the amount of investment of governments
in public services
. For instance
, based on a survey in Iran, a lot of public transportation has been improved because of college students who have some artistic backgrounds.
In conclusion, if governments
put their assets into providing a place where arts
can be improved instead
of investing only in public services
, it is not only a waste of money
but also
could increase the general knowledge of society
and creativity levels of the young generation which can be more beneficial.Submitted by ramtin.n1374 on
