Government must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive,because it is primarily in cities that a nations cultural traditions are preserved and generated.
The speakers claim is actually threeflod:ensuing the survival of large cities and ,in turn,that of cultural traditions ,is a proper function of government; government support is needed for our large dries and cultural traditions to survive and thrive;and cultural traditions are preserved and generated primarily in our large cities.I strongly disagree with all three claims.
First of all, subsidizing cultural traditions is not a proper role of government.Admittedly, certain objectives ,such as public health and safety,are so essential to the survival of large dries and of nations that government has a duty to ensure that they are met.However,these objectives should not extend tenuously to preserving cultural traditions.Moreover,government cannot possibly play an evenhanded role as cultural patron.Inadequate resources call for restrictions,priorities,and choices.It is unconscionable to relegate nomative decisions as to which cities or cultural traditions are more deserving,valuable,or needy to a few legislators, whose notions about culture might be misguided or unrepresentive of those of the general populace.Also,legislators are all too likely to make choices in favor of the cultural agendas of their home towns and states,or of lobbyists with the most money and influence.
