Some people think that economic progress is the only way to measure a country’s success, while others think that there are other factors which can be used to measure a country’s success. What are these factors? Which, of all factors, do you think are most important?

There is a fair amount of people who, only based on monetary factors to measure a success of a country.

However

, there are others who believe that there are other means of measuring a success, namely the advancement of

has been proven by many, one of which, is the improvement in minor surgery, surgeons, nowadays, does not need to cut across one's stomach to treat appendicitis. The

of human resource

quality

of human resources is available, the adoption of

technology

is way faster. To conclude, it has been many years that financial standpoint is used as the sole factor,

situation, it is recommended for governing bodies to start looking into other factors when grading a success
