Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations by providing such things as food and education? Or is it the responsibility of the governments of poorer nations to look after their citizens themselves?
There is a clear difference in wealthiness among
countries
. Some are very rich while others are quite poor. In my opinion, while it is the governments' task to provide their citizens with basic needs, I believe that more developed nations
should also
assist undeveloped countries
to achieve better living conditions.
On the one hand, the government has a great responsibility for its own community. Because the government collects several taxes from individuals, it should invest this
money to improve its population's living conditions. However
, in many countries
, such
as Brazil and Nigeria, the serious problem of government corruption prevents the money to be invested in crucial needs, which results in negative issues for the country, namely food insecurity, poverty, and violence. Nevertheless
, if these taxes were wisely applied, then
people could have access to better education, a satisfactory health system, and even wellness.
On the other hand
, considering that wealthy countries
usually rely on poor nations
to grow, they should also
help countries
in need. For example
, developed countries
normally exploit natural resources from poor nations
, which negatively impacts their biodiversity. In addition
, industries from rich countries
establish their business in less developed countries
, leaving many environmental impacts to the area, such
as air and water pollution. Hence
, helping citizens from poorer nations
is the minimum wealthy nations
should do.
In summary, social inequality among countries
is a challenging problem. However
, if governments truly invest in their own nations
and if rich countries
help poor nations
, this
problem can be certainly lessen
.Change the verb form
be certainly lessened
