Sports and Arts - Do they enhance the economic value of a Nation?
Sachin's Recent 100 Centuries and the discussion around it lead me to start this.
With the world getting more materialistic and business minded, we tend to see everything from
a perspective of economy, growth and financial impact. Therefore certain aspects of Life, like sports, entertainment are some times not viewed with the same scale or yard sticks as a business growth or success. At the same time there is lot of money being poured into Sport, with very few beneficiaries.
I have the following questions? When I say Arts, I mean to include music, films, drama etc.,
- Are Sports and Arts really sponsored with the same spirit of talent, or it just another business?
- Are Sports and Arts a necessity for a Nation to develop and grow?
- Do Sports and Arts help an average family, or they are just one other choice of career?
