GRE写作难题解析：政府该如何对待艺术

　　【关于“政府和艺术”的GRE Issue原题】

　　82"Government should never censor the artistic works or historical displays that a museum wishes to exhibit."

　　101"Governments should provide funding for artists so that the arts can flourish and be available to all people."

　　【关于“政府和艺术”的GMAT Issue原题】

　　22. Clearly, government has a responsibility to support the arts. However, if that support is going to produce anything of value, government must place no restrictions on the art that is produced.

　　对于GRE和GMAT这种政府要不要资助艺术以及艺术作品是否应该受到政府的监督的话题，我们给大家补充论证素材如下：

　　政府虽然有义务支持艺术，但艺术家必须清楚地认识到，政府对艺术的管制也是必须的、不可避免的。

　　The artists who have expectations of support without controls do not really understand the basic nature of government as organized force. Any government, whether communist or democratic, represents political and coercive forces. All the resources and powers of the government tend to be deployed to serve the interests of the political group in control and also to deal with things that threaten the very survival of the state. This is as true of the United States as it is of the Soviet Union. Either type of government must also establish bureaus and procedures for any of its activities, whether it's running the army or supporting artists. Any decision to make something a government activity is also a decision to place it under bureaucratic management with various controls and reporting methods for measurement of results.
