Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Governments, all around the world, have visions to fulfil and responsibilities to carry on, and they seek to achieve the overall developments of their countries for a prosperous future.

Thus

, many governments think that economic

progress

is the key to

success

Use synonyms

while others disagree with

this

Linking Words

notion and opine that many other aspects

such

Linking Words

as green environment, security, social values, traditions and peace among nations are more important. I personally believe that the economic

success

of a

nation

Use synonyms

is an important goal for a

government

Use synonyms

, but

this

Linking Words

is not the most important one.

To begin

Linking Words

with, many developed countries have already gained economic

progress

Use synonyms

and yet they are suffering from growing crime rates, hostile relationship with other nations, corruptions and outbreak of epidemic diseases.

Thus

Linking Words

, economic

progress

Use synonyms

has failed to ensure a better life standard of citizens and

this

Linking Words

is a proof that only economic

progress

Use synonyms

should not be the vision of a

government

Use synonyms

.

On the contrary

Linking Words

, without economic stability, a

government

Use synonyms

cannot ensure advancement in education, defence, healthcare, international trade and social safety. Again, industrialisation and

success

Use synonyms

in trades have ensured economic stability to many western and Asian countries and yet the environmental damage that has caused is overwhelming. What good money would bring to a

nation

if they cannot build a safe and green environment for the

next

generation?

However

Linking Words

, many people would

also

Linking Words

argue that it is better to bestow a prosperous country to the new generation rather than leaving them a broken economy.

Furthermore

Linking Words

, economic

progress

Use synonyms

requires industrialisations, dominance in international trade and the use of cheap labours from other countries. History tells us that wars are imminent due to irrational competition among nations.

On the contrary

Linking Words

, without economic

success

Use synonyms

, a country cannot defend itself from external threats, fight with epidemic diseases and cannot ensure proper health care facilities to its citizens.

Finally

Linking Words

, some would say, with the economic

progress

Use synonyms

the country will lose its old way of living, traditional values and uniqueness as a

nation

Use synonyms

. But it should

also

Linking Words

be considered that change is the fundamental basis of development and if a

nation

Use synonyms

worries too much about the old ways of living, it would fail to ensure

progress

Use synonyms

at a steady pace. In conclusion, there is no doubt that economic

progress

Use synonyms

should be an important goal for a

government

Use synonyms

, but there are still many aspects which are equally important.
