Some people think that the most important thing about being rich is it gives a person the opportunity to help other people.
Do you agree or disagree?
Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Giving poor people opportunity to help from a rich person is the most important thing some people says. We will discuss about that in this essay.
However, there are some rich people gives opportunity to help other people, and there are rich people do not care about that. Helping other people it could help, for example it could increase the economical situation in the country.Increasing more opportunity means more people with more experiences in the business market.
Although some rich people do not care about helping other people by giving them opportunity, maybe because they are afraid of not getting the benefit from them, not their goal to make their business of their money growing. I believe if you don’t give opportunity to people you might be missing some opportunity too.
I do agree with the idea when a rich person gives people opportunities, For example in my work I am an artist I do give money in some music events for the new musician to give them a push to keep growing. And that effected the music industry in my country Jordan to grow more by giving the new musicians the feeling that they can get money from their art and also give back for the other artists when they have this opportunity.
In conclusion, if we have the money to make other people’s life better especially people with good a mount of experiences, it will benefit on us more in the future.
