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 development is the key to prosperity while others disagree with

this

notion and opine that many other aspects

such

as green environment, security, social values, traditions and peace among nations are more important. I personally believe that the economic success of a nation is an important goal for an authority, but

this

is not the most important one.

To begin

with, many developed countries have already gained economic progress and yet they are suffering from growing crime rates, hostile relationship with other nations, corruptions and outbreak of epidemic diseases.

Thus

the economic advance has failed to ensure a better life standard of citizens and

this

is a proof that only economic growth should not be the vision of a government.

On the contrary

, without economic stability, an authority cannot ensure advancement in education, defence, healthcare, international trade and social safety.

Furthermore

, economic rise 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

, without economic success, a country cannot defend itself from external threats, fight with epidemic diseases and cannot ensure proper health care facilities to its citizens.

Finally

, some would say, with the economic development the country will lose its old way of living, traditional values and uniqueness as a community. But it should

also

be considered that change is the fundamental basis of expansion and if a population worries too much about the old ways of living, it would fail to ensure advance at a steady pace. In conclusion, there is no doubt that economic advancement should be an important goal for a government, but there are still many aspects which are equally important.
