ARTS... 1-art *Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere. I don’t agree with this opinion totally. I think arts are not wasting time. These days we need to agree, communicate, meet and know each other better. So, we have to find or create a way to communicate or to express our opinions. At this point arts are a good way. For instance theatre. We can see and learn different cultures opinion and feelings wtih theatre well. Also we can get rid of prejudices so that violence can decrease. But there is a second side of this point. I think there is an imbalance in the world about arts. I mean some artists can’t earn enough money, but on the other hand some artists swim in the money pool. Maybe it is wasting money when some artists can’t find enough fund. *Art is considered an essential part of all cultures throughout the world. However, these days fewer and fewer people appreciate art and turn their focus to science, technology and business. Yes, art is a big and an important part of cultures. But these days countries interest in technology, business and science more than art. Because, these things contribute their economy more than art. And we can’t deny that economy is the first issue that should be improved for countries. Because of that government don’t give enough fund to encourage people about arts or to improve arts. So, it dependent on support. *Some people think that art is an essential subject for children at school while others think it is a waste of time. I think so that art is essential for good education. Especially for children. Because it has been proven that arts help mental development of children. Children who spend some time for art can gain better habits, mental and physically health than other who don’t spend time for arts. So, I think art can’t be waste of time for children and also for adults. *Artists need certain amount of freedom to develop their creativity. Some people think that artists should have total freedom to express any thoughts and idea. I agree with that idea. Freedom is essential for everybody. Especially for artists it is very important. Because they should not be under any pressure to express their opinion clearly. But I think it can’t be endless. We should not forget that one’s freedom ends where other’s freedom starts.
