▶ Your Answer :
Some
people think that what people really need when they are in a trouble is help
from their friends and family. However, in my opinion, government’s help is
necessary in some cases rather than getting help from them. There are two reasons
why I think this way. First, government can give people financial assistance.
Also, it can give them mental assistance.
First
of all, government can help people by giving money. There are many situations
that people need enormous amount of money suddenly, but don’t have enough
money. Borrowing that huge money is impossible since it could make their connection
broken. However, there are a lot of programs that government donates or lends
money to individuals. For example, I had to pay my tuition to my University, but
I did not have enough money. However, I could not tell my situation to my
friends and family and tell them to lend me money, because I thought they would
make distance from me if I tell them in that way. I was so depressed since I could
not study what I want due to lack of money. At that time, my professor advised
me to find government programs that fit me. Fortunately, there was a program that
lends money to University students, so I could borrow it and studied the courses
that I want to study.
Also,
government can help us by giving consulting programs. When people are in a trouble,
they can’t tell their situation frankly since they are afraid of being isolated
and their situations can be spread. However, they really need to tell their
situation and heal their minds. In that case, the one can use government’s free
consulting programs. For example, there was a poll conducted by Korea Psychology
Department, with 300 people who had concerns with them as respondents. The purpose
of the survey was to understand the consensus about why people use the
government’s consulting program, not talking to their close people. An overwhelming
90% of them responded that they would use government’s consulting program
rather than have conversation with them. The reasons were mainly concerned with
the opinion that they don’t want to share their bad things with them, just want
to share positive things. Also, consulting with government’s consultor could
give more practical and realistic solutions to them. This survey proves that
people are willing to use government’s help.
To
sum up, taking financial and mental help into a consideration, getting help
from government is more beneficial to people than from their friends and family.
