Some people argue that companies’ effort to support arts or environment is a waste of time, so it should not be allowed. Personally, I do not agree with this view. There are many arguments to support my position, but the two main reasons are stated and explained in detail below.
First, paying money to support arts should be permitted, especially for rich companies. This is because it is effective for relaxation and can boost people’s moods. Today, people have to live with too many tasks and too little time. As a result, their lives are run by deadlines. Because arts are a powerful stress-relieving tool such as visiting museum and watching musical, they can help people to escape from full-brown stress. This is why company should be advised to support arts.
My own personal experience can be used to prove this point. Every morning, I have to get through traffic-clogged roads to go to school. While I am at school, I also have to read through countless books. Therefore, as a way to lower my stress level, I am used to visiting art museum nearby my home right after I return home from school. Even if it is only for short time, my mind becomes relaxed, and I am no longer thinking about the demanding request at school. Indeed, during this brief period of relaxation, I am able to relieve tension and prepare myself to tackle the problems I will face at school the next day.
For this reason, companies should support art to relieve our stress.
Moreover, supporting the environment is also beneficial because it can help people to bond with each other. In order to adapt to the harshness of the modern lifestyle, people have become increasingly in different to those around them. Consequently, the traditional notion of friendship has weakened and family ties have loosened. However, people can restore the value of friendship and family life by developing the environment. This is because people can get together with their friends and family in clean and nice parks thanks to the company’s effort to support the environment.
A recent study, which is done by Stanford Univ., found that having a good park near home provide useful opportunities for people who are struggling to connect with their families and peers. Basically, parks are good places to meet people and to talk with people, so people who have nice park near home can freely express their views in parks even if the topic is arguable. Therefore it is needed that company gives as much as money to public or government to build more parks.
Therefore, in spite of the potential disadvantages of supporting arts and the environment, this activity is not waste of money in modern society, Instead, it offers people huge advantages, which are likely to increase over time. |
