#governments #money #individuals #events #people #benefit
It is believed that
government
 bodies tend to invest public funds to make individuals successful in international sport functions. But, others think that
instead
 they should spend on things which will benefit the general public. In
this
 essay I would like to put my point of view with suitable examples and I would like to talk if I agree with it or not.
Firstly
, I strongly agree with the statement, and
government
Suggestion
the government
 should spend on benefit of public and not on the individual. There are many people who need money, and some of them even spend days without eating even 1 time meal and there is a lack of infrastructure which can help many general public in the
country
.
For example
, In India
government
 tend to spend a lot on their sportsman who might be representing India in Olympics, but neglect other side of their
country
 and many people are in poverty as they don't get enough jobs, no help from
government
, lack of hospitals and even some case there was a lack of food in an old age home.
Secondly
, Yes, the person who represents our
country
 in Olympic might attract and bring many tourists and investors, but spending all of that individual is not worth as anything can happen. I believe if the
government
 spend for the better for all its people,
then
country
Suggestion
the country
countries
 will overall grow itself and it will attract more investors and funds to
country
 even without anyone representing their
country
 in international sport event. To summarize, it is public money and public have right on that and
government
 should use that funds for the betterment of public and not intended for some individual or for their own benefits.At
last as
Accept comma addition
last, as
 there is saying in India "If the general public is happy
then
country
Suggestion
the country
 will be happy and if
country
Suggestion
the country
a country
 will be happy
then
 it will reach many higher height", as everyone would like to visit
such
country
 where everyone is happy which automatically benefit all the public and the
country
.
