government is wasting money on the arts

-
1.    Some people think that the government is wasting money on the arts and that this money could be better spent elsewhere. To what extent do you agree with this view?


Some contend that there are many pressing concerns that a country must resolve first before putting emphasis on art. However, I think that art is an essential part of a culture and it is quite fair to allocate funds to preserve and develop art.
Admittedly, there are some justifications by people who oppose spending on promoting arts. First of all, most art projects are expensive with no obvious outcomes that have direct relations to a nation’s income. For example, the monument of Kebangkitan Pahlawan in Malang city that adsorbed almost 1 billion rupiahs does not attract people that much. Besides, art is not a critical aspect of the sustainability of human life. Human’s life will not disappear just because they have less taste of esthetic.
However, I still support that the government should allocate budget for the arts. Art is part of a culture that becomes the identity of a nation and if the culture is strong enough, eventually, it could be a major source of income. For instance, Bali is an island in Indonesia, where millions of visitors come each year to experience the combination of conventional values and modern lifestyles. The government in Indonesia invests more than a third of its budget to maintain their traditional arts. Furthermore, art makes a life worth living- like food, art is a supplement for the human soul. It has a magnificent power to aid buildings, roads, parks, and everything, with its uniqueness. Just imagine how empty a room would be if there is no painting or decoration on the wall! Art is enhancing people’s life by leveraging their experiences and empowering people to possess beautiful imagination.


To conclude, supporting art is important for a government as it would enhance the quality of life either by improving the tourism industry or by providing a better artistic facility.

Accommodation and transport problems

-
  Accommodation and transport problems are increasing in many large cities. Businesses are encouraged to move to rural areas. Do advantages outweigh disadvantages? In the modernization era, many problems occur in metropolitan cities like accommodation and transport. The movement of an organization from urban to rural areas has become the solution to eradicate such issues. There are a lot of positive and negative outcomes of this. On the one side, it is ridiculous to say that any business can shift from an urban area to the countryside without facing any loss. Firstly, this change may cost a firm due to a reduction in the quality of its workforce. Not each employee is willing to resettle or work there. And they prefer seeking another career in the large city to maintain their current living standards. The enterprises would have to hire local workers who are, indeed,  less competent. The expenses for the mandatory training courses are significant to them. But an improvement in their prof

a lot of buildings

-
  Nowadays, a lot of buildings, such as offices and schools, are now being built with an open plan design.  Why is that? Do you see this as a positive or negative development? In the present era, the majority of education institutes and offices would form with open-space floor plans in their premises rather than having individual cabinet rooms. This idea is to be invited because of its pros. But, I will explain the positive and adverse effects of such development. The main reason for the open floor structure because of its cost-effectiveness. Therefore, all recommended these types of plans by organizations and institutions. A huge investment is involved in constructing separate cabinets, and in an open design, only the furniture is to be setup. This furnishing works will incur only fewer expenses. Furthermore, such a structure at offices will eliminate the discrimination of staff members. All the staff members irrespective of their grades should sit together at the same place. This a

big cities face several problems

-
People living in big cities face several problems. What are these problems? Should governments encourage people to move to smaller towns?   In recent times, most people like to live in urban areas. Individuals of the  metropolitan  city face various difficulties like crime, pollution, and health disease. From my perspective, the government should apply some norms to mitigate the preceding problems. The  predominant  cause to live in city places is a crime. In highly populated areas, the risk of encountering a crowd is much higher than in a small town. Additionally, if the culprit feels protected by the  anonymity  that a large city provides, he may  perpetrate  more wrongdoings. Furthermore, air pollution is also a prevalent issue in major cities. Surface transportation is the  predominan t source of greenhouse gas emissions, which cause respiratory problems to the people. This problem is made worse by the  utter  number of vehicles commuting daily in the city.   The government should
