In Britain, when someone gets old they often go to live in a home with other old people where there are nurses to look after them. Sometimes the government has to pay for this care. Who do you think should pay for this care, the government or the family? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

In Britain most of the times old-age people shift to old-age houses. In my opinion the expenditure incurred

in

for

the

care

of these people should be borne by their families because it was these old -age people who had been the bread-earners for their families for a long time. Now is the time to pay them back. When these people were young, they raised their children, met all of their needs,

care

and supported their families in every possible way. If the families don't pay for their

care

this

will mean that they had completely disassociated themselves from affiliation with their parents. It will promote a culture where the elders are not respected because paying for their

care

is

also

a way to show

care

for them and not doing so will mean becoming the part of a society where everyone is selfish. It will

also

encourage materialism among the people.

This

attitude towards old-age parents will

also

leave a bad impression on the children in these families and they surely will observe what their parents are doing to their grandparents. Paying for the expenses of these houses should be regarded as the right of these people and not the

favor

promote over another

towards them considering the fact that these expenses might be a small portion of their own wealth which they had been earning all their life. Keeping in view all of the above facts, the prime responsibility of paying for their

care

rests with the family as it will lead to a society with a lot of love and

care

for others especially for older ones.
