A government has a responsibility to its citizens to ensure their safety. Therefore, some people think that the government should increase spending on defence but spend less on social benefits. To what extent do you agree?

Until now there has been a serious increase in crime rates in several countries.

This

is one of the problems that have invited much debate over the past few years regarding the division in

defense

(military) military action or resources protecting a country against potential enemies

defence

deviance

and social spending on

government

budgets. Many say that one of the most important rights that must be given by the state

government

to the people is the protection and safety of citizens compared to their

welfare

. In

this

essay, the author will explain why many citizens ask for more funds for

defense

(military) military action or resources protecting a country against potential enemies

defence

, and the author will

also

explain why the

government

does not need to increase spending on

defense

(military) military action or resources protecting a country against potential enemies

defence

. One of the main reasons why many people are asking for more funds to be improved compared to social

welfare

is because citizens want to have a very strong military force in their

country

. Because the stronger a

country

's military,

then

they will get respect from other countries and maybe even that

country

will become a leader in the region which will certainly provide a great advantage for their

country

. Another reason lies in the problem of terrorism; currently many countries are facing a serious threat and even experiencing terrorist attacks in big cities.

Therefore there

Accept comma addition

Therefore, there

are some who argue that increasing police force will threaten terrorist organizations, and may arrest them before the terrorists carry out attacks.

However

, if the

government

increases their expenditure on military

defense

(military) military action or resources protecting a country against potential enemies

defence

, it will automatically reduce spending on social benefits that can affect people's

welfare

, especially on

health

. Because citizens have the right to get

health

care, as well as the medicines they need. If the

government

does not provide adequate resources in

health

,

then

the poor and middle income people will find it difficult to get proper

health

care. If

health

expenses are reduced, the cost of life-saving operations and treatments will be quite expensive to cause bankruptcy. It will

also

affect aid for those who need it. If the

government

cuts assets to unemployed people, it can lead to bigger problems

such

as homelessness, theft and increased crime. Meanwhile, if the people who need to get adequate support

such

as work centres and finance, they are less likely to be a threat to other communities. In conclusion, the author does not agree with the statement that the

government

is required to reduce spending on social benefits or the

welfare

of citizens for the sake of national

defense

(military) military action or resources protecting a country against potential enemies

defence

. State security is indeed an important aspect, but it does not rule out sacrificing social benefits for the

welfare

of citizens.
