▶ Your Answer :
Some people thinks that governments should spend more money in
support of the arts than in support of athletics such as state-sponsored
Olympic teams. However, I strongly believe that more money should be spent in
support of athletics than in support of the arts. This is because the support
of athletics enables people to be healthy and makes profits.
First of all, investing much money in athletics makes people
healthy. These days, people tend to spend less time in exercising than
in the past. And the lack of exercise
is one of significant factors that make people ill. Most people do not exercise
often because they do not have enough opportunities to exercise. Especially, in
Korea, there is little public gyms. And they need to pay expensive costs to go
to private gyms. So, when governments spend much money in support of athletics,
people can have more for exercise and they will be healthier. For example, my grandmother was usually sick due to the lack of
exercise. Near her house, there was no public gym. So she had difficulties in
finding where she could exercise without paying costs. However, the state she
has lived in started to spend much money in support of athletics and built many public gyms.
Thanks to this, my grandmother could exercise hard in a public gym without economic
burden and now she becomes healthier.
In addition, the support of athletics such as state-sponsored
Olympic teams can make profits. When governments spend money in supporting
state-sponsored Olympic teams, it is more probable for them to get prizes on Olympic Games(win an Olympic medal). And the state can become a tourist attraction. For
instance, Uiseong began to spend much money in supporting its
curling team and a group of the team won silver medals on Pyeongchang
Olympic Games. Due to this, many people visited Uiseong to see players. Uiseong
actively utilized this chance and made profits.
To sum up, I believe that governments should spend more money in
support of athletics than in support of the arts because it makes people
healthy and make profits. |
