Governments spend a lot of money on public celebrations such as national holidays and public festivals. Some people say that the government spends too much on this and that they should use this money on other useful things.

Many governments allocate part of their annual budget for their national ceremonies and general festivals. Some people disagree with the allocation as it is a huge amount of

money

and they suggest using

this

money

for the country's requirements.

This

essay will argue why governments utilize

such

money

for these celebrations and why they do not use it for country development

instead

. Determining part of the government's budget for public celebration is an essential way to show the importance of nationalism for their citizens and attracting tourists to these events. The national holidays express for the new generation what sacrifices that had been

On the other hand

, some people prefer using

on education and health system rather than public occasions. Both of these sectors need more concern and improvement than festivals. Even more, we can implant the national values throughout schools. For instant, India

year expenditure on ceremonies and festivals surpasses that of education by three-folds, where there are about 30% of Indians illiteracy.

Furthermore

healthcare

insurances in the USA cover only 40% of the population, meanwhile, up to 5 million dollars were spent the

two years on its national day.

Therefore

, governments should designate their expenditure on education and health before their public unities programs. In conclusion,

this

essay argued the reasons why governments spend

money

on festivals and ceremonies and why they do not look for more valuable things rather. In my opinion, I think that governments should take care of their citizens' needs before implanting the nationalism.
