One school of thought holds that governmental investment should be allocated to the development of sports and arts for school students, rather than supporting professional sports and arts events. While I understand the rationale behind this argument, I would contend that the government should prioritize plowing money into the stimulation of professional sports and arts.
On the individual level, the government money that might be invested in sports and arts at school brings numerous benefits. Firstly, this initiative promotes a healthy lifestyle among young people by encouraging them to engage in physical activities and creative pursuits, resulting in a significant reduction of physical problems, namely obesity and eye strain. Secondly, participating in sports activities at a young age goes beyond simple health improvement, it teaches a step-by-step way to achieve rewards and fosters conservation between trainers. This process can help train not only patient and tolerant attitudes but also foster collaborative, communicative, and discipline skills, which are indispensable qualities of entrepreneurs.
Nonetheless, I would further argue that the government should invest in sports and arts events because of the higher advantages it brings compared to sports and arts at school. In terms of financial prospects, while singing and athletes’ performances generate sustainable tax revenue through ticket sales, merchandise, endorsements, and media deals, it also creates considerable job opportunities, which lower unemployment rates, resulting in the development of the economy. Furthermore, sports and arts activities might be efficient tools to promote a country’s culture, landscape, and talents, enhancing its global reputation. For example, the Olympic 2024 held in Paris not only promotes the cultural identity and tourist attractions of France but also generates millions of pounds from the tourism industry.
In conclusion, while there are compelling arguments for prioritizing invest in sports and arts at school due to their potential benefits for personal growth, I would argue that the advantages of sponsoring sports and arts events can benefit the government and society in a larger scope, both economy and global relationship.
