Many citizens propose that the state should provide monetary allowances to all social and cultural performers while on the other hand we have many who oppose this step labeling it as a waste of government funds. Paying incentives to the artists will surely help the talented get recognition and appreciation. But, do we have enough funds to do this? This essay will discuss the pros and cons of the financial support to artists. I personally believe there are many more serious national concerns which need to be addressed and funded before sanctioning monthly incentives to these people.

 

Policymakers, who support the idea of monthly incentives to artists believe that the endowed individual must be supported financially so that he can meet his daily minimal needs and is able to live comfortably. By doing so, the performer can pursue his passion with complete dedication, polish his skills and enable himself to flourish and get fame on national and international platforms. For instance, if a fine art painter is plagued by the burden of fending for his family needs from morning till evening, how would he ever be able to dedicate time to show his talent to the world?

 

Contrary to this, opponents of financial support to artists deliberate there are various other major social issues which must to be addressed and funded before taking a step like this. To name a few; poverty, illiteracy and health. Expenditure on allowances to artists will be a waste of money and imprudent to be considering it as a priority ignoring these above-mentioned issues. For example, food and education the most fundamental of needs must first be provided to every citizen of the nation before enacting such policies that look in to secondary lifestyle desires.

 

To conclude, although financially supporting artists with monthly allowances is reasonably a good idea, we however must not overlook other essentials society needs and must appropriately utilize public money before funding other undertakings.

Paying all the workers the same salaries in a company promotes harmony and respect amongst colleagues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Paying all the workers the same salaries in a company promotes harmony and respect amongst colleagues. To what extent do you agree or disagree?   There is a section of the working populace who believes that disbursing equal remuneration is what keeps employees cordial and reverent towards each other and consequently attached to an organisation. I completely disagree with this notion and this essay will elaborate on the following as my reasons. Firstly, there will be a very cold and dissatisfied workforce and secondly since the economics is about being equal there will be no motivation.   To be giving every employee the same pay is like feeding an elephant and a goat the same amount of fodder. One of them is not going to have a stomach full or one of them is going to waste it. This clearly illustrates the imbalance between two differently abled entities. A similar imbalance at the workplace will create numerous problems for the staff and the management which in turn wi...

Students are becoming more and more reliant on computers. What are some of the problems associated with reliance on computers, and what are some of the possible solutions?   Computers are evidently becoming an integral part of the education system, causing an increased dependence on computers for students. While this invention is being appreciated for its benefits, this essay will illustrate some of the problems associated along with possible solutions which help neutralize the adversities attached to the same.   The major issue with a significant reliance on this invention is lack of problem-solving skills. Everything today is available at the click of a button, which discourages children from applying critical thinking to come up with a solution by themselves. Consequently, most pupils of this digital age, lack in intellectual rational skills. To state an example, a recent research shows that the IQ levels of students studying without computers for a year, was found to be 30...
