A government has a responsibility to its citizens to ensure their safety. Therefore, some people think that the government should increase spending on defense but spend less on social benefits. What extent do you agree.

Terrestrial policies are one of the very crucial aspects of a state's development, and one nation's authority is to be highly responsible for

this

problem. Because of

this

, many citizens encourage their

government

to allocate more funds for defending the lands rather than for other community services. In my opinion, I partly disagree with

this

belief, because I regard all social benefits even. Maintaining the

country

’s security is somewhat important as it lays a solid foundation to a

country

stability. Whenever a war occurs, nobody cares about social services anymore, but their life because citizens are the main target for most massacres, terrorism, or even mass killing. In return for

this

, a large number of individuals demand their

government

to pay more budget for securing its inhabitants' lives. Keeping the

country

safe,

additionally

prevents illegal immigration from other countries. Take Iraq,

for example

, where wars frequently occur, the people there have to suffer from long-term social unrest and many records of illegal immigrations are those who come from

this

country

.

However

, it does not necessarily mean that the leaders only concentrate on safety, services like education, medical services, or transportation should

also

be well-funded. Lack of social benefits can deal a massive damage to a

country

's residents.

For instance

, North Korea, the

government

here only emphasizes on the military budget and

therefore

creating a poverty-stricken society. People of a

country

pay taxes to the

government

and they should earn what they deserve. Having appropriate care for citizens helps prevent social evils, and even increase

government

budget. In conclusion,

government

should take all aspects of building a well-developed

country

into consideration. Many global scale organisations suggest balancing the funds spent on different domains evenly to maintain both security and happiness rate.
