Band 5+: Some people believe arts such as painting and music cannot directly improve the quality of people's lives so that government money should be spent on other things. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

IT IS OFTEN ARGUED BY SOME THAT CERTAIN ARTS DOES NOT IMPACT DIRECTLY ON INDIVIDUALS LIVES, SO THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SPEND MORE MONEY ON OTHER NECESSARY AMENITIES. ALTHOUGH, SOME MIGHT DISAGREE WITH THAT, HOWEVER, I AM TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS NOTION. THIS ESSAY WILL EXPLORE HOW DIFFERENT FACTORS JUSTIFY MY OPINION.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE FACTORS THAT SUPPORT MY OPINION. FIRSTLY, ONE MAJOR FACTOR THAT COMPELLED ME TO AGREE IS THAT ART AND PAINTING ARE NOT AS MUCH IMPORTANT IN PEOPLE’S LIVES AS OTHER AMENITIES. SO, GOVERMENT SHOULD SPEND MORE MONEY ON OTHER FACTORS WHICH BENEFIT LIFE, FOR EXAMPLE, EDUCATION AND HOSPITALS. FOR INSTANCE, IF GOVERNMENT PROVIDES BETTER EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES, OUR CHILDREN WILL GET BETTER JOBS LIKE SCIENTISTS OR DOCTORS AND WILL HELP THE SOCIETY. IT IS BENEFICIAL FOR INDIVIDUALS LIVES. THUS, THIS POINT SUPORTS MY STANCE.

SECONDALY, ANOTHER IMPORTANT FACTOR SUPPORTING MY ARGUMENT IS THAT ALTHOUGH, MUSIC IS PART OF LIFE. IT PROVIDES SOME RELAX AND COMFORT.HOWEVER, IT IS NOT DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO LIFE OF HUMAN BEINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, IN COVID DAYS, EVERYONE WAS FINDING BETTER HOSPITALS TO SAVE THEIR LIVES. NO ONE WAS THINKING ABOUT MUSIC OR PAINTING IN THOSE DAYS. HENCE, THIS FACTOR ALSO FAVORS MY OPINION.

TO SUM UP, I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT THAT GOVERNMENT SHOULD FOCUS MORE ON AMENITIES LIKE EDUCTION AND HOSPITALS MORE THAN ART AND MUSIC.
