I think that an assertion that government should spend more money in support of arts than in support of athletics is not reasonable. Some people or experts may think that government had to spend more money assisting art or athletics. However, the discourse could only bring about negative conclusions. This is because, if the government spent more money to one side, the other side could be felt apart on government`s decision. Naturally, It could arouse severe disputes not only between governments and those who are participated in arts or athletics but also between people who in the arts and people who in the athletics.
First of all, the question as dichotomy makes people more uncomfortable. This is because, decision of government have put into people bad conditions because some people who could not participate in the supporting group have difficulty in financial aids. Also the question such as "not A but B" makes more people competitive among them. Naturally, some people who did not support or less than receive think that they are alienated. Thus, the question is not both proper and reasonable.
On top of that, government`s investment is important not only in the view of arts but also in the view of athletics. In fact, many researchers insist that the mental health which was satisfied as arts as well as physical health which was satisfied by athletic is necessary to maintain wellbeing. One of the influential philosophers, Plato, insists that people should grow mental ability as well as physical ability. If the government could spend more money one side, the balance is corrupted. Therefore, the government`s should consider carefully balanced supporting methods.
In conclusion, I think that a question; government should spend more money in support of arts than in support of athletics is improper. First reason is that the question makes people more uncomfortable and competitive. Second reason is that all of things such as mental health and physical health are important based on the government`s stance. Thus, a new balanced plan is demanded for people. |
