#world #place #years #governments #amounts #money #forces
The peace of the earth has always been a challenging dilemma in any areas which people struggle for it. In recent days, many people believe that the
world
 is safer than the
last
 century and the government should invest more economically in the armed force.
This
 essay will disagree in part with the viewpoint and will offer reasons for
this
 position It is undeniable that the
world
 today is a much more peaceful place than ever before. The
last
World
 War dates back nearly seventy years and, since 1945, no conflict have taken place in western countries.
Thus
, people have suggested that spending
money
 on necessities within society
instead
 of the armed forces is more useful. It seems to be impossible to spend less
money
 on armed for of a country.
This
 is very difficult, as even though no significant conflict has taken place in western countries, they are still involved in the conflicts of other countries. Allied to the fact that, the US contribution in the Iraqi war has only recently ended. For
such
 involvement of military forces in foreign lands, countries still need to have strong armed forces, in case they are needed. There needs to be a huge amount of
money
 to stabilize the social security with a lot of police officers and weapons as well as specialized equipment to protect the internal countries Not only military, but social security
also need
Suggestion
also needs
 to be invested in a huge amount of
money
. In recent days, robbery and riots are increasingly raging, there need to be a huge budget invested in police to equip equipment as well as weapons to solve the situation. According to a recent survey, no sooner had
money
 was used to remodel the police than the safety of the people is pushed to the highest level. In the final analysis, certain armed forces are necessary for major countries, even though the
world
 is safer than a hundred years ago. They might need to intervene in conflicts in other countries and
world
 peace is by no means assured for the future.
