Band 4+: 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?

Some people argue that government should subsidy only those areas which directly positively affect on people’s life, however, art such as drawing and music are not considering in such areas. Even thought, I think that budget must be share effectively, government must subsidy such fields which directly nor improving our lives.

In the one hand, music and painting are sources for entertaining. They affect indirectly on our mood and make our life smoother. All we have social networks, every person might share one music or painting once in their life, reason is share emotions positive, or even negative vibes. Both of them are helpful for individuals psychological conditions. Music is a source for relaxation, especially classic music. It’s prove by scientists that listening classical music improve our working abilities.

On the other side, the government should divide budget wisely, take into account all social needs. However, I don’t agree with statement that only fields which have direct effect on individual’s lives could be funded. Even though art has no direct affect like for instance build manufactures and create working places, it still has significant affect for our daily life. Although, the government must think about this topic from other perspective, music and art are not only crucial for remaining our heritage, but also create future masterpieces. One of the arguments, is that, in Georgia, there is unique polyphonic music, if the government stop funding music field, it somehow will be diminished. Although, we must also think from those person’s perspective which are in music and painting industry. If they don’t have enough material resources they will stop producing pieces of arts.

In conclusion, I believe that funding art like painting and drawing have a significant side effect on each person. All people need entertainment after long and busy day, without singing it’s hard to imagine. Although drawing, which is not only picture on the wall, but also basis of animation, is sort of source improve our quality of life.
