One of the purposes of the governments is to exert the quality of living of citizens.
Although

some may think that the governments should provide a standard subsidy to each citizen for their living, I totally disagree with the suggestion. In
this
Linking Words
essay, I will discuss the reasons for my view.
First

of all, the amount for giving a basic subsidy to each member of
society

is an extremely huge amount of money. Take Hong Kong as an example, its population is about 7 million people. If the Hong Kong
government

subsidies each citizen for his basic living, it would require trillions of money each year.
Thus

.
Secondly
Linking Words
, it is the responsibility of
society

members to earn their own living. People develop their sense of worth and identity through working and contributing to

.
For example

instead

of working hard for themselves, they would feel worthless. It is not good for the well-being of a person. What is more, the more the people rely on the

and the citizens themselves. In my viewpoint, it is not a wise decision for the
