In this current society, it is very
important to deal with stress properly. Because of great pressure under lots of
workloads, more and more people are trying to develop their ways to deal with
their daily stress. I believe that participating in any art-related activities
can be helpful for those who try hard to seek stress-releasing method. Watching
musical performance or learning how to dance and sing can be one of them.
Therefore, for people’s mental health, I agree with the statement that
governments should invest in support of the arts.
To begin with, as I mentioned above, arts can provide great ways to
alleviate people’s tension. To be more specific, just by watching some musical
performance or listening to K-POP music can lessen people’s stress level.
Especially for those who live in Korea as students are under a lot of pressure
and stress because of the highly competitive college entrance exam. However,
unfortunately, there are not any rigid policy to oversee or help those
students. The one thing that is needed for students is to help them to express
their negative feeling properly. And I believe helping students through art can
be one great way to cope with that problem. For instance, schools can have art
classes. They can help students express their feeling through dancing, singing,
or even drawing. By doing that, students can learn how to express their feeling
and anger properly. This is not only applicable for the students, but also
workers, and adults. By helping them to release their stress properly via arts,
the governments will be able to make a healthy and vigorous community.
Furthermore, by investing arts, governments
can also beautify the cities in an eco-friendly way. Nowadays, as more and more
building is being constructed, it is very important to keep the city clean and
neat for an environment. For instance, just a few months ago, I saw on
television that one structure built in China, where fine dust swept out of the
city. That structure was built to control the fine dust level, and it was
constructed by one famous designer, collaborating with an engineer. It utilized
wind-power, which is eco-friendly and the outer structure was beautiful. Not
only this case but also many other cases can prove how arts can be appliable to
make the city look better and keep clean.
In conclusion, arts can help people deal with their stress, and also can
help cities keep clean. By participating, any art-related activities can make
people mentally healthy. Not only that, many art designers can use their
abilities to create structures or buildings which can make cities more clean
and eco-friendly. For these reasons, I strongly agree with the statement that
governments should spend more money in support of the arts than in support of
athletics such as state-sponsored Olympic teams. |
