Should Governments Spend a Large Amounts of Money on Art?

There are many people think that spending money on arts is wasting money. Other people feel that the government has to provide many arts for its citizens. Now I am going to write about if government should pay for arts.


There are some major reasons why government should pay for arts. First of all, art is one of the most important parts of nation's culture. I mean that we must be careful on our language, poems, arts and etc... . Secondly, art helps us to get many information about many things that we don’t know about. That means people can know more about themselves and more about the world by the arts. Furthermore, art is part of the economy. It might helps us to bring more tourism to our country.


However, governments should look at the other sides to balance their needs. For one thing, people need many things more important than poems or music or other arts like food or medical care. Another point is that governments tend to spend unwisely. They spend more and more only to build museums or fund without thinking about good quality. Finally, governments often confuse art and politics. They prefer statues of leaders to art that the people really like.


To sum up, although governments have their own responsibility. They should improve the good habits that people used to do like the different kinds of the art. I hope that our government will help us to improve our arts.
