I fundamentally agree that the some urgent public issues, such as hunger, unemployment, illiterate and so forth, has (have) the priority in the use of public resource. Nevertheless, art usually does not infringe their share and the author goes too cynical (here I recommend “opinionated”) to claim that it is cruel for public resource to support art. (My objection is that you have indeed overstated the speaker’s assertion, which has originally referred to specific circumstances when imminent crisis calls for more attention over art)
One must concede that the most urgent public issues should always be placed on the first place when authority calculates the allocation of public resource.( when authority allocate the government financial budget) The stability of society is ensured only when most citizens have enough support(The stability of a society could be acquired only when its most citizens enjoy fundamental living guarantee, otherwise riot or rebellion would possibly occur among those furious people out of the anxious willing for a better life) so as not to challenge the ruling class. Once the authority is found incapable of bringing effective measures towards these social problems, the unfed, jobless, illiterate will unite to fight for their right and social concern, which will result in riots. Therefore the government should always meet their needs before considering any other group. Also, the production of artistry is valueless in an era of pandemonium for the common masses, as we have seen masterpieces destroyed during wars worldwide. So, it is necessary to ensure the basic living requisite before we have time to go to a gallery.( 因为这里说的是政府的职能,那么最好把we have time to go to a gallery 改成Therefore, government should always deem it necessary to ensure that the most fundamental and imminent needs of mass citizens are met before it could reasonably reallocate money to establish, say, a gallery. 我个人认为段末的一句应该简单的概括一下)
Yet, one can never go too far to say that the use of public resource for art is cruel only because there is a certain group of people remaining unemployed or so. It is known in capitalism countries, unemployment is a necessary component in the social economy, and a certain unemployment rate is the prerequisite of a prosperous society. Absurd as it may seem, the fact is that a shifting population, which account for 4% to 5% percent of total when idealistic, have to be unoccupied. It doesn’t mean that one must stay home the rest of his/her life once losing job, yet the employed-unemployed cycle is inevitable to guarantee the well being of capitalism economy. In this sense, the (omit!) art would have never received its aid according to the author’s claim, yet fortunately it is not the case. I believe that as long as the government meets the fundamental needs of the majority, it is reasonable to appropriate public resources for artistry.
Moreover, the interests of art and public issues are not mutually exclusive when considering the use of public resources. The product of artistry may in turn have a positive effect on these issues. We are used to hear that some artist will auction his/her works and the funds will be donated to an orphanage or so. In this way art repays for what it gets. Meanwhile, the government has done their utmost to not to cut budgets of each and it is really rare for them to contradict. The common scene is that both can get their proportion without having to fight against the other. Thus it is unreasonable to one-sidedly (one-sided) deny the art’s demand. (There is still one facet of art function you fail to discuss, that is art could in great degree relieve the sole heart, console the wounded spirit. In this sense, the government support of art, in turn, provide interest of such aids in the form of better mental states of its citizens)
In conclusion, while the basic needs of the society (ambiguous expression. Do you mean to convey such information that the prosperity of art does not belong to one part of basic social needs ?) should always be taken at the first place, it does not necessarily require the sacrifice of the needs of art. The question is to what degree shall we give up our aesthetic enjoyment and vice versa.
总的来说,还是不错的,语言简洁,有力。但是,你的文章可挖掘的东西还有好多,总觉得中间两段的论述不是充分的developed. 继续加油吧。 |
