Some people believe that government funding of the arts is necessary to ensure that the arts can flourish and be available to all people. Others believe that government funding of the arts threatens the integrity of the arts.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
If we analyses our history, we can see much of the wonder of the arts was actually flourish by the encouragement of the government. So, my position would be to the government funding but a dictator government can also threaten the integrity of the arts. I will also analyze this point of view.
As I was saying that, much of the arts and arts related subject was actually funded by the government. For example, the statue of liberty which is situated in New York, a city situated in United states of America resemble the liberation a great piece of art. Which was actually funded by France government as a gift to USA for their liberation from United Kingdom.
But the main reason I support government funding which is actually the school and college of arts. It can’t possible without the support of the government to run those school college. Government intend to flourish art so they establish many school colleges and even university related to arts was established by the government. Major Museum in the world are run by the government. Also, look after those artifacts need a lot of money without the support of the government maybe it is not possible to see the smile of Monalisa or the statue of Michael Angelo.
To encourage arts many governments, introduce prize and honorable mention like in in India it is called ‘Padmavusan’. Small country like Bangladesh it is called ‘Ekushey Padak’ In America and UK also give honorary awards and prize to encourage arts and literature.
There are some disadvantages in government funding also. Censorship is the major problem for one of them. If any art or literature is not liked by the government they put ban on them which is a threat on freedom of expression. Hitler Burned down many literature books to suppress freedom expression. This kind of work still running in many countries specially in dictators’ countries. USA also banned so many arts and literature to suppress socialism.
When government takes control of the arts and run it like it’s wishes it no longer express as art. It is then become a propaganda tool for the government to suppress freedom of expression and also distract people from the real problems and corruption of the country.
