Opinions are divided on whether the government should aid not favored entertainments or leisure activities or not. I think help is needed to preserve the diversity of activities. This essay will present why I think government support is necessary and the importance of diversity of activities.
First, there is no other way to preserve unpopular entertainments or leisure activities without help from others. For example, because people are so busy and stressed nowadays, they want simple things such as action movies. Following this, the market share of Hollywood action movies is outweighed the minority movies. In this situation, without aid from the government, nobody wants to contribute to the creation of minor genres. As a result, only famous genres would remain in the market without help and people cannot choose other genres such as artistic films when they want to try.
Secondly, diversity of activities could bring a variety of chances. Take an example, I think the Kook-Akc, the Korean traditional music played in 500-years ago in Korea, is not fashionable to youngsters. However, thanks to the government's effort of advertising them, it is very popular to global now. Musicians who got help from the government have poured efforts to maintain traditional music and contributed to preserving it. Plus, numerous youngster musicians try to mix Kook-Akc with their rhythm and create new songs. Some music has recorded over millions of view count on Youtube.
In conclusion, I think preserving activities of diversity is important to make a new culture that brings cultural prosperity. Someone could make up their mind for preserving priceless activities because of government help. |
