Some experts believe that when a country is already rich, any additional increase in economic wealth does not make its citizens any more satisfied. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In
this
 contemporary world, economic growth is vital in any
country
. Some
people
 believe that any increase in wealth of a rich
country
 cannot satisfy its
people
 while others counter it. In my perspective, I mostly agree with the idea that extra adds in economic cannot please its inhabitants.
First
 of all, it is true that economic growth will financially benefit the
citizens
.
However
, being more wealthy does not mean
people
 would be happier. The more they gain, the more expensive the goods are. Some
people
 may be richer than the
people
 in developing countries but they still are poor in a
country
 that has a sky-high cost of living.
Besides
, some
people
 use the extra money they gained to spend on gambling or risky business. Eventually, some of them become richer, others may lose the invested money, which makes them not satisfied at all.
In addition
 to pleasing

citizens
, some countries shift their main priority from economic development to social well-being or social welfare to be able to create a happy
country
.
For instance
, many North European
citizens
 are happy because the government offers these
people
 the best social welfare and education in the world.
Besides
, the economic gap between the
people
 with high social status and normal
people
 is small so that they are more balanced in social position. Everyone is treated equally as others, the richer receive the same

 as the less wealthy ones. For all the aforementioned reasons, a developed
country
 does not have to focus much on the nation’s economic development. They would rather focus on social well-being to make their
citizens
 the happiest.

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
