There are several ideas about wether the Korean government should put more budget on public transportation. Some people say that developing the public transportation for easy access to everyone is more important than spending money on the expanding of Internet in Korea. In my opinion, however, the Korean government should spend more money on expanding the Internet lines rather than on public transportation, because it makes the Korean economy stronger, and the Internet brings true meaning of democracy.
To the begin with, developing Internet lines for everyone helps the Korean economy stronger. Thesedays goods and information are transacted on the Internet, which gives impact on the whole economy. Actually, it has changed the condition of the economy. For example, many people prefer shopping on line to offline. Therefore, almost all companies are now realizing the power of the online consumers. If the government puts more money on the Internet, more people can be participated in the transactions on line which will make our economy stronger, because the Korean government is now facing the need of boosting buy and sell. On the other hand, spending budget on transportation doesn't help the nation stronger, because almost all roads and highways have already been developed. Therefore, Korean people will not use the new subways and roads because they already have the world famous convenient transportation system.
Furthermore, the Internet actualizes the true meaning of democracy. Newspapers and magazines are easy to make people preconceived for political matters. Actually, several Korean governments in the past used broadcasting companies and newspaper firms for their sake. However, on the Internet all information is opened and people can share all kinds of ideas and information. Therefore, the true meaning of democracy, which is that all people can freely share and speak their ideas about political issues, can be actualized. The government can no longer control the news and ideas if people can share them on the Internet. However, if the government puts more money on the public transportation, it will not contribute to the development of our nation's democracy.
On the conclusion, the Korean government has to spend more money on the Internet rather than on the transportation system for the vivid economy and establishment of the true democracy. If the government puts more money on the transportation, it will waste of money, and it doesn't give any good influence of realization of the democracy. Therefore, the Korean government definitely should increase the budget on the expanding the Internet lines for everyone in Korea. |
