Some people believe that the government should spend more money putting in more works of art like paintings and statues in cities to make them better places to live in.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is true that some people want the governments to invest in
artistic things such as paintings statues etc. for the better city. Of course,
there is doubt that it has to be made up depending on the city’s circumstances,
but I believe putting move into works of art can give a positive effect on the
society. First of all, the visual improvement of city has influence on
tourism industry in a good way. The artistic buildings, paintings are enough to
capture the people’s mind. In addition, as technology advances, people can advertise
themselves by posting SNS or YouTube videos. These can be viral marketing. If
the number of people who visit the artistic city increase, so will the local
economy. For example, in Gangnam, which is located in Korea, a majority of Kpop
fans came to watch a statue of a Korean singer. It brought a positive effect on
near shops and it made many shops were targeted to tourists who like Kpop. The government may put a lot of money into works for art and
it may bring a loss of country’s economy. However, from a long-term
perspective, this can be a good opportunity to solve the unemployment crisis. For
instance, in order to build a statue, many workers are needed such as artist,
builder and so on. Not only this, even after the construction, they need people
who keep managing the statue. To conclude, I would be cautious to claim that the
governments should invest in artistic works, it is because the circumstances of
country are different. However, I believe this can be brought positive effects
on the city, in an economical way. Therefore, we cannot overlook the power of
art.
