A country requires dedicated people from all generations. In this regard, it is often argued that their only responsibility is to pay tax. However, some people think that there are actually more to do for the country. In this essay, I will discuss both views and my opinion.
Paying tax sometimes makes the taxpayers think that they have done enough for their countries. This is because the government can use the tax for economic and political purposes. Individuals have no authority to do the related works, so instead them, governmental workers take the responsibilities of it. Moreover, when the tax is expensive, people can feel like there is no more duties left for them because they will think that they invested their money on the government.
Meanwhile, there are actually many more responsibilities of individual citizens. For example, environmental issues cannot be addressed if there is not enough help from them. Nowadays the environment are destroying at a rapid pace, and it often takes too much time to just wait for the government to take action on it. The change should happen from the individuals. They can use bicycles over cars or eco bags over plastic bags to save the Earth.
In conclusion, one’s duty for the society does not end just by paying tax. They live not just in a community of people but also on the Earth and should be more responsible to save the environment. |
