As far as I can remember, people have been debating the pros and cons of the role of governments. From my point of view, governments should play a pivotal role in the greatest happiness of the greatest number. To conduct this role, there are numerous problems governments have to unravel such as reducing differences between rich and poor. Therefore, governments should invest money for fundamental needs on Earth.
Even in a same country, the gap between rich and poor is two extreme. For instance, I saw a news article presented that when wealthy people spend five million dollars for shopping, some people even cannot eat a food. A few months ago, a mom killed herself and her baby because she could not afford to feed her baby. This terrible news was a hot potato in Korea. The increase of suicide rate also reflects this horrible economic circumstance.
Besides on people in a country, countries in the world also have great differences of their economic situations. Many countries in Africa live in serious poverty. It is well known that people in Africa cannot treat their diseases and even cannot eat three meals a day. Some unions are struggling to help those people, but it is not enough to solve this problem. Governments of rich country should spend their money to decrease gap between rich country and poor country.
To sum up, there are lots of people who need an economical support. This is not a problem just in a country but also in the world. Governments should pay their attention to reduce two extreme of rich and poor by alleviating poverty of some countries. Therefore, money should spend for fundamental needs on Earth. |
