some people think that giving aid to poor countries has positive effect, while others believe that international aid should be stopped. Discuss both these view and give your own opinion

People have different views about whether or not international

aid

should be continued. Those who support international

aid

believe that it can benefit poor countries as wee as rich ones. International

aid

contributes to infrastructure improvements in poor countries.

For example

, the world bank, whose key members are mostly rich countries, provides poor countries with low-interest loans each year. These countries can improve their infrastructure,

such

as schools, hospitals and public and food

aid

can help to save lives because in these countries, many people suffer from starvation and lack basic health care. Rich countries that provide generous

aid

to poor countries are

also

regarded as responsible members of the international community and are respected by other countries. People who think that international

aid

should be stopped tend to focus on the negative effects it may have. A common concern is its fairness. Even in the most developed countries, there are people living below the poverty line. Government spending on

aid

for poor people in other countries may be unfair to poor people in their own country Some

aid

is even used to serve purposed for which it is not intended.

For instance

, in some countries, foreign

aid

has been used by their government to purchase weapons or has led to more corruption. Sometimes, countries that receive international

aid

also

find the

aid

unfair because it is tied to political objectives. Personally, I think it is important that the

aid

provided is used for the intended purpose. If the donor country cannot ensure

this

,

then

the

aid

should be reduced, if not stopped altogether.
