You should spend about 40 mins on this task.
| Government investment in the arts, such as music and theater, is a waste of money. Governments must invest this money in public services instead. Do you agree or disagree? |
Write at least 250 words.
It is commonly believed that government funds allocated to arts subjects like theatre and music are less important than funds invested in public services. While allocating funds to the public is important, I strongly believe that arts play a vital role in preserving culture and promoting unity among the people.
Each country and region has its music and theatre that represents its culture and identity. For instance, most young people are interested in technology and gadgets and spend less time to know about their cultural history. These subjects help in passing down the knowledge and story of the past and connection to their ancestors. Additionally, governments should grant funds for arts and history also to encourage the youth to opt for this stream and follow their passion, and not just go for popular jobs.
Another reason to invest in artistic areas is to promote unity and oneness in the country. People who listen to similar songs and are aware of their history tend to relate to one another more rather than those who don’t. Singing folk songs at festivals and special occasions and celebrating together as a community allows us to feel closer to one another in the current fast-moving lifestyle and build a stronger community.
To conclude, all governments need to invest to maintain their cultural richness and bring together the people of their country. I believe the arts help people not get overwhelmed by modern technology and busy lifestyles and help preserve the connection with the country, its people, and history.
