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?

Some people believe that to ensure the safety of the citizens, it is important to put more attention on the

defence

system

Use synonyms

and less on social benefits.

Defence

Use synonyms

means

protection

Use synonyms

from physical/military attacks and terror. It might be relevant to call

defence

Use synonyms

as the determining

power

Use synonyms

back to the imperialism where war is really popular.

On the other hand

Linking Words

, the circumstances of the current

world

Use synonyms

are changing. States have to pursue mutually beneficial activities

such

Linking Words

as trade or environmental

protection

Use synonyms

in

order

Use synonyms

to survive. Because of that, talking about the

protection

Use synonyms

of the citizens, it is not enough to only concern about physical attack,

however

Linking Words

, other sectors have to be taken into account as well. Social benefits are as significant as security, it covers

protection

Use synonyms

in the economic and social sectors, which now become one of the determining

power

Use synonyms

. With that being said,

this

Linking Words

paper aims to prove that the government has to ensure the citizens’

protection

Use synonyms

, by balancing the

defence

Use synonyms

and social benefits, without disregarding any of them. The existence of a security issue or

conflict

Use synonyms

in a country becomes one of the reasons why people believe that

defence

Use synonyms

is really important. The condition in the Middle-East

for example

Linking Words

, during a

conflict

Use synonyms

time, the

state

Use synonyms

has to have a good

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

in

order

Use synonyms

to protect its citizens and maintain

state

Use synonyms

stability. It is because a

state

Use synonyms

with a strong

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

is usually being more respected, and most likely to win the war.

However

Linking Words

, the

fact

Use synonyms

shows that the

conflict

Use synonyms

is mostly triggered by the increase of the

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

itself. War in Iran

for example

Linking Words

, one of the reasons the United States interferes in the Middle-East

conflict

Use synonyms

is due to the

fact

Use synonyms

that Iran keeps increasing its

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

and not to mention its nuclear weapons. The behaviour of a

state

Use synonyms

that keeps increasing their

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

is potentially aggravating the conditions because it might increase the scepticism among

state

Use synonyms

which lead to a

conflict

Use synonyms

. At some point, it is definitely necessary to prevent the possibility of attack from other countries, yet it might

also

Linking Words

trigger the attack if the attempt is exaggerated.

However

Linking Words

, the circumstances were changed. Resulting in the shift of

power

Use synonyms

, where

defence

Use synonyms

is no longer an absolute determining

power

Use synonyms

, there are other sectors

such

Linking Words

as economic, social-politic that are

also

Linking Words

important.

Therefore

Linking Words

, social benefits

also

Linking Words

occupy a significant role. Social benefits support the economic development and social

order

Use synonyms

such

Linking Words

as promotions of the workers, creation of training and employment opportunities, the degradation of the rate of unemployment, and so on. It is important to put attention to

this

Linking Words

sector due to several reasons.

First

Linking Words

, social benefits might create some sort of condition where the citizens will most likely be able to obtain a decent life due to the creation of training and employment opportunities. These skills can become their provisions to survive, protect themselves, and compete with others during

this

Linking Words

globalization era.

Second

Linking Words

, if the citizens obtain a decent life, they will not question the government's decision because they feel satisfied.

This

Linking Words

condition will maintain the

state

Use synonyms

stability. If a particular

state

Use synonyms

is stable, the citizens will most likely safe because there is less possibility of

conflict

Use synonyms

to occur. These arguments are supported by the

fact

Use synonyms

that most of the developed country actually has a balance

system

Use synonyms

in every sector

such

Linking Words

as economy,

defence

Use synonyms

, and politics.

For example

Linking Words

, European countries, the USA, and so on. The

world

Use synonyms

sometimes assumes that the USA becomes hegemony because it obtains an excellent

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

,

however

Linking Words

,

that is

Linking Words

not the

fact

Use synonyms

, USA hegemony happened because the USA succeed to balance its

defence

Use synonyms

, economy, social benefits, and social-political

system

Use synonyms

. Security or

defence

Use synonyms

is no longer an absolute

power

Use synonyms

to determine the

world

Use synonyms

order

Use synonyms

. A good

defence

Use synonyms

system

Use synonyms

without a good

system

Use synonyms

in other sectors

such

Linking Words

as economy, politics, or the environment is not making the citizens safe. With the complexity of the

world

Use synonyms

, where economic, social-politic, and environment are

also

Linking Words

important, it is necessary to put concern on social benefit as well.

Therefore

Linking Words

, the author believes that the government has to ensure the citizens’

protection

Use synonyms

, by balancing the

defence

and social benefits, without disregarding any of them.
