Some people think the government funding should not be used for supporting art and culture,
others think supporting cultural activities may be beneficial for the population and the culture.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
It is argued by some that government expenditure should not be allocated on artisitc and cultural
investments, while others maintain spending on these aspects can benefit the civilisation. This
essay discusses both perspective and explain why I agree with the former one.
There are those who believe that investment on culture can enhance cohesion force of a country.
More specifically, the traditional culture can remind the citizen that they have same origion and
ancestor, that help them feeling bond with each other. When it comes to some newly developing
cultures which usually transmitting in clubes and organizations can help people making friends or
learning, the spirit of unite. As the result, there are less conflicts in the society and more
successful cooperate among the population.
Nevertheless, I agree with those who believe that the investment on art and culture is
unnecessary. A major supportive argument is that the culture and art could be developed and
transmitted in a natural and spontaneous way without the nudge of the government. The habits
in daily lives and routines in workplace will develop into customs at a region and company culture
during a period of time. It is a better choice for the government to invest on some more essential
or pressured aspects such as infrastructures and military affairs.
To conclude, despite culture can harmony among population, I believe that culture can form
spontaneously, thus the government can allocate its budget in other aspects.
