Some people argue that historic buildings should be preserved in their original form. Others argue that this is both inadvisable and impossible. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

In the past few decades, there has been a profound increase in saving the ancient establishments in many countries. On one side of the spectrum, there are those that believe the historic buildings should be maintained in their original form.

However

, others, including myself, believe that it is highly impracticable to restore the ancient

structures

and that

money

should be spent elsewhere.

To begin

, there is an argument to be made that it is highly impossible to preserve ancient architecture in its original form due to the unavailability of resources and cost. To illustrate, the authentic raw material used centuries ago is extremely difficult to find, many contractors use alternative forms of material which is more readily available. What is more, when the original resources are discovered, it is extremely costly to buy.

Furthermore

, the funding

that is

used to restore the old

structures

is taken from the taxpayers which many citizens oppose and believe, that

money

can be used for better causes. Taking

this

into consideration, it is not unreasonable to assume that

this

is the reason many councils do not invest in preserving the ancient places due to the high cost.

Nonetheless

, despite the obstacles of saving historic establishments, there is growing evidence that suggests if a country invests in protecting old

structures

, it will benefit the economy and save the culture. To exemplify, poor countries often splurge in preserving the historic places as

this

attracts tourists, which has a direct impact on the country's economical growth, as tourists spend

money

on local businesses.

Furthermore

, saving the original architecture educates future generations and holiday-makers about the historical heritage.

Hence

, if these points are taken into consideration,

then

many governments will have a greater interest in preserving the ancient

structures

whilst contributing to education and the economy. To conclude from the aforementioned discussion,while some are under the impression

that is

justifiable to spend millions in preserving the old buildings, others, including myself, strongly believe the council should look into spending that

money

on other causes affecting the people.
