A number of governments argue that the achievement of the
economic growth should be a top priority, while other people insist that
various kinds of progress should be realized for a nation. I will discuss both
opinions and suggest my own one.
On the one hand, many sociologists maintain that the government
should try to achieve a variety of social progress such as gender equality
and environmental protection as well as the economic one. They point out that
the gap between men and women have been a pressing issue although the indexes of
GNP or GDP have been increased in over-developed countries. This is because men
are encouraged to work in companies, while women are forced to stay at their
homes and perform reproductive labor in the era of industrial society. In
addition, experts say that the enviornmental improvement is a significant as
much as the economic growth. They are concerned that government's focus on only
economic progress would destroy the natural enviroment by leading to the
excessive installation of factories. In the long term, it would have
detrimental effects on the earth.
On the other hand, some people say that economic growth
should be the most important base for other kinds of progress. They argue that the high level of the financial situations can provide people with social safety
net so that it could be helpful to deal with various type of inequality among
people. Besides, they suggest that the investment of eco-friendly technology in
need of a large amount of budget could be beneficial for environment issues. (이 besides 관련해서 한 문장 정도의 부연 설명을 추가해주시면 좋을 것 같습니다. 윗 문단과의 비중을 맞추는 의미도 있지만, 그 외에도 내용 자체에 대한 추가 설명이 어느정도 필요해요.) Therefore, the economic progress would be prioritized to have positive effects
on the other ones.
In conclusion, I think that both ideas are somewhat
reasonable. However, I strongly believe that a variety of progress should be
equally set as national goals. This is because focusing on the economic value
could play in an important role in ignoring gender inequality and the damage of
natural enviornment by justifing them. |
