Some people argue that the government should support the funds for the arts, while some other people suggest that the money should be used for public health and education. Discuss
Intro:
A growing number of people love to enjoy the beauty of the arts by going to gallery, listening opera and appreciating paintings. They maintain that the government should allocate a sum of budget to supporting the arts. However, others argue that health and education resources are limited so the money should be spent in these arrears. In my opinion, government funding is essential for promoting the arts, but it should be based on the premise that basic human needs have been met.
MB1:
Adequate medical service and education are essential for individuals and society. For one thing, the enjoyment of highest attainable standard of health care and education are two of the fundamental rights of every human being regardless of economic and social conditions. These rights generate an obligation or duty for the government to ensure that the good medical service and education are provided out of public purse. For another, these two services could also ensure that there are enough healthy and competent workers making contribution to society. Therefore, the government should prioritize these two significant fields.
MB2:
However, the government should not neglect the importance of the arts and should also invest in them. Firstly, the arts can help people to relieve stress. For example, listening to opera or appreciating famous paintings can ease people’s minds. In addition, not everyone can afford those famous paintings so the government should invest in museum. As a result, people could enjoy some valuable art works in the museum.
MB2': ( I wrote MB2 in other way. Which one is better?)
However, some people argue that the government should not neglect the importance of the arts. The arts can help people to relieve stress. For example, listening to opera or appreciating famous paintings can ease people’s minds. Nevertheless, they fail to take into account that public health and education are far more important than the arts. Without a healthy body, most people do not want to go to gallery of opera hall. Without proper education, people may find it hard to get a reasonable career so that they cannot have extra money to pay for beautiful paintings.
Conclusion:
To conclude, the government could allocate the arts with the premise that basic requirements of health care and education have already been met. Consequently, the public can enjoy a better life.
