We cannot help everyone in the world that needs help, so we should only be concerned with our own communities and countries. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#world #communities #countries
It is argued by many that every country has their own problems, it is not realistic for helping everyone globally who are in need.
Therefore
, every individual should focus on their own nation only. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with
this
 statement as I believe it is necessary for everyone to play a part, making the world a better place.
To begin
 with, there are many underdeveloped
countries
 who currently suffering from poverty.

human being, adults would not have enough food to survive, not to mention feeding their children. If other developed
countries
 who are in a wealthier position did not play a part to support them, those citizens in poorer
countries
 would have died from starvation and illness. In
this
 modern world, I feel that all humans should have an obligation to help those who live beyond our own nation, which can

 prevent human extinction in the poorer
countries
.
On the other hand
, it is true that many nations might have their own problems that need to be faced and resolved.
For instance

countries
 are much more serious than those in our own communities, and it is often easier to help.

However

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
