A thought provoking current issue concerns support from the government. Some people claim that government assistance is not needed because people can manage their problems well. However, in my opinion, there are still many people who definitely need help from the government.
To begin with, Some people are threatened by harsh living conditions, and these people need government assistance. For instance, if we look around, there are many people who are struggling with their daily lives such as the handicapped, the poor, the elderly who live alone, or orphans. And these people have some problems with dealing their problems on their own. When I was a high school student, I once did a volunteer work. My duty was to deliver lunch boxes to the elderly who had some difficulties with having daily meals. Whenever I visited those houses, elder people always greeted me and said a thank you, though I was doing a merely simple thing. What I learned from the volunteering is that there are so many people who live under poor living conditions, and they cannot deal with problems on their own.
In addition, young people also may need some help from the government. In Korea, many college students are struggling with their tuition payments because payments are sometimes too high to pay. And this happens not only in Korea but also in many countries. In this situation, the government can support college students by giving scholarships or supporting tuition payments. If students can get these kinds of scholarships, they will be able to concentrate on their studies. Furthermore, it would be conducive for senior students or job seekers to get helps from the government in preparing for an occupation. Seniors and job seekers would need helps because they do not earn money yet. To them, some pecuniary supports or non-financial helps such as job educations would be helpful for preparing for a job.
In conclusion, still there are a number of people who live under poor living conditions. In addition, also young people need government assistance. Therefore, I firmly believe that government assistance is necessary because not every people can deal with their problems. |
