7/16 discussion

Dear all:
Sorry for late posting, I'm really short of ideas about discussion topics...><

We have not read an article for a long time.
So let's read the article below and discuss some questions.

"In an era of austerity, reasons to fund the arts"

http://0rz.tw/mreOK

Here are the questions:

1. What art (music, architecture, cultures, etc) do you like?

2. In your opinion, do you think the government should continue funding the art industries even when it's in an economic recession?

3. If your were a politicians, would you keep funding the art industries when the society is in a financial crisis?

4. Do you think art is the privilege for the wealthy?

5. How much are you willing to pay for an artistic or cultural feast?

Any more questions are welcome :)
