Governments should spend more money in support of the arts than in support of athletics Citizens who live in a well-developed society are supposed to have the privilege to appreciate arts since arts is that the essence of ancestor’s intelligence. Of course, for citizens’ leisure life, arts is not the only option. So some people hold the viewpoint of that governments should spend more money in support of athletics. Compared with arts, which should get more governments’ support in finance in my point of view. Firstly, arts can foster people’s value of beauty in a comprehensive way and which can work for every age group. Its universality for all age groups would not give any benefit conflict among citizens. For instance, both kids and the seniors can visit museums for enjoying art works. If arts get more support from governments in finance, curators could design more exhibitions in the museums, which could benefit many people. In contrast, athletics have more limitation in age, such as gymnastics players’ best age for this sports is under 20, most basketball players retire from playing when they’re around 30, etc. Compared arts and athletics in this aspect, more tax payers will definitely support the former one better since more people get benefit.   Secondly, arts investment bring about broader future to the one who was educated before. If a kid learn arts when growing up, this kid can not only be a artist in the future, but also a bunch of career options, such as creator of museums, painter, designer or teacher. On the other hand, athletics limit people’s choice of future career just in sports field. This topic is also a controversial issue of these days. People are arguing whether society should encourage talented young athlete to develop into a professional one, since many of them live a unexpected way. However, society needs to be strengthen by government in a integrated way in every aspects and athletics plays an key role in appearance of nation’s sports quality. But talking about finance outcome of government, which still should be more focused in arts. Sports field can be strengthen in other ways, like nowadays athletics has already been supported commericalizedly. Many private company showed a lot of support to it. In the worldwide scope, sports is more and more emphasized in people’s sight, since blast of gyms in both urban and rural areas. What else could be done to athletics is also embodied in school’s education. Every school has their own sports team and offers a considerable financial support towards to athlete.
