Reading & Speaking: czytanie tekstów mieszanych i debata o kulturze

Temat 1: Czy rząd powinien finansować sztukę?

ZA:

• "The arts generate economic returns — through tourism, creative industries and cultural exports."
• "Culture shapes national identity and collective memory."
• "Market forces alone cannot sustain experimental or minority art forms."
• "Public funding democratises access — making culture available beyond the wealthy."

PRZECIW:

• "Taxpayers should not be required to subsidise art they find offensive or inaccessible."
• "State funding risks creating a culture that flatters its patrons rather than challenging them."
• "In an age of crowdfunding and digital distribution, artists have more avenues than ever."

Temat 2: Czy viral culture devalues art?

ZA (devalues):

• "The attention economy rewards shock and novelty over craft and depth."
• "Works designed for shareability are rarely designed for sustained attention."
• "Context collapse on social media strips art of the conditions it needs to be understood."

PRZECIW:

• "Virality can introduce genuinely significant works to audiences who would never have encountered them."
• "The tools of viral culture can be subverted — artists like Banksy have used them brilliantly."
• "Every era has its dominant distribution mechanism — the printing press was also once 'disruptive'."
