Economic boom definitely draws many advantages
such
 as quality life, healthcare, and education for the people but it
also
 motivates them to indulge more into the materialistic world;
thus
, they are less involved in social values. In
this
 essay, I am going to shed some light on the advantages and disadvantages of economic
development
. Every country has to invest in education, healthcare and basic infrastructure to improve the quality of life of its citizens and
this
 is not possible without a good and stable economy.
Besides
this
, the government need to pay the salaries, generate new job opportunities, and improve the infrastructure;
this
 all requires a strong and stable economy.
For example
, the Indian government provides subsidise housing loans, free healthcare, and education;
this
 can't be possible without economic growth.
However
, Every
development
 comes with a cost and people has to pay the cost of economic
development
 in the form of social values. More economic
development
 leads to more hard work which ultimately leads to less time for the family.
For example
, many children in the Indian metro cities are being influenced by the criminals and indulging into the drugs and other illegal activities as their parents are less involved in their lives.
Moreover
, people are being impressed by the materialistic things and emotional attachment between relations are being reduced day by day. To conclude, economic
development
 is required for a stable prosperous nation but at the same time
Add a comma
,
show examples
people shouldn't cut their roots and must involve emotionally to create a prosperous and honest society.
