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.

One of the most challenging problems of today’s society is the question, who should be responsible for our old people. Its not only a financial

seems to be a very fair
