Governments should spend more money in support of the arts than in support of athletics such as state-sponsored Olympic teams.
Currently, no matter which city or country you live in, you can find people visiting galleries for exhibited paintings. It is hard to deny that art provides people with great enjoyment. Such a fact may mislead impressionable people to generate the idea that governments need to invest more in the arts. Nevertheless, as far as revenue and health are concerned, I strongly hold that society should support athletics teams.
To begin with, funding athletics teams is more cost-effective than the arts. As so many sports have been commercialized, supporting athletics teams can certainly bring a great financial reward. Take soccer as an example. Spending money to support a soccer team could help it cultivate famous soccer stars, which makes the city famous and attracts even more visitors to travel and consume in the city. Moreover, famous star soccer players can attract more investors to fund the soccer team and local facilities, which profits people living in the city.
Furthermore, investing in athletics teams can promote the physical health of society. Those retired professional sports players could advocate the public to take part in those sports and teach them relevant skills. My personal example is a compelling illustration of this. My cousin Bill used to be a professional basketball player. He retired at the age of 35 and set up a basketball training company. After his setting up, more and more teenagers in the neighbouring community join the training camp held by the company. As a result, most of the young living in that community enjoy playing basketball and very few of them get sick even when their classmates get infected. Had it not been for my cousin setting up the basketball training company, those teenagers would not be so healthy.
In a nutshell, I think governments should divert their investment to athletics teams rather than the arts. Admittedly, as my favourite quote from James Madison goes, if the reason for man continues to fallible, different opinions will be formed. Still and all, I believe that those who opt differently will change their minds after being exposed to my article.
February 24, 2021 at 2:08 amHi professor,
My name is Jianning KANG and I am currently a third-year student majoring in bioinformatics. I am now preparing for the TOEFL this week. I have tried to upload the passage to Grammarly to edit the grammar mistakes. But I am not sure how the quality of the overall structure and sentences. I would highly appreciate it if you would like to have a look on my article.
Best,
Jianning
