Some people believe that residents are responsible for keeping the roads clean and others say that it is the responsibility of the government. Discuss both views and give your opinion?

#people #residents #roads #responsibility #government
The proverb says cleanliness is
next
 to godliness. While some
people
 argue that to keep the roads clean is the responsibility of
government
, others say that individual is responsible.
This
 essay will discuss
both
 views in detail. In my opinion, I believe that
both
 are equally holding the prime responsibility. On the one hand,
residents
 use roads in their day to day life. Many
people
 throw trashes from their balcony
instead
 of putting it in a wastebasket. Even well-educated professionals
also
 do not care about throwing garbage from a car or whilst travelling in buses and trains.
For example
, parents should teach their children to create awareness not to throw anything on floors. And it helps them to follow the guidelines and protect our environment.
As a result
, our society becomes

hygiene and disease-free atmosphere.
On the other hand
, a strict law by the
government
 can make a difference. It pushes the
residents
 to follow the rules and avoid getting fined by officials.
Furthermore
, organizing campaign through various NGO’s can spread positivity among
people
.
For instance
, in the United Kingdom, after imposing a heavy fine against
residents
 for not following the rules, the percentage of waste being found on the roads are reduced drastically. In my opinion,
both
 the
residents
 and the
Government
 are responsible. Every citizen should think that if any foreign visitor comes to visit their country, the cleanliness makes massive differences.
In addition
, the
government
 rules to be made in
such
 a way to punish the
people
 who disobey it. To conclude, it is a combined responsibility of
both
 the society and the
government
 to make the country clean and protect the environment. The beauty of a country is measured based on how all the
people
 support each other.

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.
