The world today is a safer place than it was a hundred years ago, and governments should stop spending large amounts of money on their armed forces. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Gone are the days when governments had to spend a hefty sum of

money

on the military

forces

to either intervene or to fight against the other country in the world war. Speaking of which throws light into other sensitive areas where the

government

should look into to improve the living standards of society. It is agreed that in contemporary times, our globe is safe and authorities should stop spending capital amounts to strengthen armed

forces

. Analyzing both attention required to overcome unemployment issues and to combat environmental disasters will show

this

.

Firstly

, it must be remembered that providing protection on the borders does not help to uplift living standards.

For example

, as per a recent survey by BBC, the unemployment ratio has soared dramatically from 8% to 30% in the

last

decade in Africa. Unfortunately, due to

this

, huge numbers of people cannot even afford the basic needs of life.

Thus

,

this

makes it clear why the

government

should spend the capital amount on creating job opportunities for their unemployed citizens rather than buying nuclear weapons for unforeseen wars.

Secondly

, it is commonly known that the globe is presently suffering from environmental crises and we have seen natural disasters

such

as storms, earthquakes, wildfires greater than ever.

For instance

, because of Tsunami in Japan during the

last

monsoon, millions of residents not only lost their homes

but

also

their valuable belongings and loved ones. Needless to say, officials should spend the

money

in forecasting and fighting

such

natural disasters, so that people do not lose their shelter and kin in some cases. From

this

, it becomes quite evident that the

government

should spend

money

on technology that can forecast unexpected natural fatal rather than investing in military

forces

. In summary, we discussed critical areas which need the

government

's attention and prompt actions.

Thus

, it is clear that when the world today is a safer place, the idea of investing a huge amount of

money

in buying nuclear weapons and making military

forces

stronger than other nations cannot be supported. As

such

, it is predicted that the negative sides of focusing and investing in atomic weapons will be forever stronger than the negative ones.
