Some people think paying taxes is a big enough contribution to their society, while others think people have more responsibilities as members of society than only paying taxes. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

#people #taxes #contribution #society #responsibilities #members
Humans are part of small local as well as large global communities, these societies require them to contribute to the growth of other
society
 members.
This
 is a debatable issue that whether
taxes
 are a sufficient contribution or a person should perform other duties for the welfare of their
society
.
Although
, I believe that, only paying
taxes
 is not adequate yet
this
 essay would discuss both views. On the one side,
taxes
 are part of one's hard-earned income, which are collected by the government.
This
 money is later spent on the development of the community in various ways
such
 as

 free education, better medical facilities, improved public transport services, and so on.
Thus
, people have already played their roles by paying
taxes
 so they are no longer liable for
further
 help.
On the contrary
, monetary help is not always useful without active participation in developing the community. The money paid to the government in form of
taxes
 can not be compared with personal help to
society
 members.
For example
, government funding can provide improved police service or medical treatment ,
however
Add the comma(s)

 if no one stands up for a domestic violence victim's rights and inform the police about it,
then
 those services are useless for that member.
Hence
, only a responsible individual can improve the quality of life in
society
. Along with it, I firmly agree that even though a citizen pays
taxes
 yet they have much more duties regarding their societies. There are many charities or organisation which take care of orphan or homeless people. These are places where fundings barely reach, but they play an important role in
society
,
thus
 voluntary work for few hours by each person can help these places to make the world a better place to live. In conclusion, it can be said that
taxes
 are important for developing nation but for local ,communities personal involvement and help is needed.
