Many governments think that economic progress is their most important goal. Some people, however, think that other types of progress are equally important for a country. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

This

is often argued that economic progress is the most important duty of governments, while others believe that there are other equally important measures of

growth

. In my opinion,

although

the economy should be one of the greatest important goals of each country, it would be unsustainable without scientific or political progress. On the one hand, some governments concentrate on economic fields, because it can make a powerful nation and a self-confident country. Money plays an important role in societies and its influences would be not only on facilities but

also

on other people’s life forms.

For example

, The UAE began economic progress by relying on oil selling, but it was followed by foreign investment in transportation and tourism. Of course, the

development

planning focused on just the economy would not be sustainable for a long period of time.

On the other hand

, some people say that countries need all types of

development

in equal status because just economic

growth

is most unlikely to be sustained and all aspects of

development

, altogether, would make a successful nation.

For instance

, Iraq, for a period of time, earns a lot of money from oil trading but their officials spend a lot of money on the army

instead

of other aspects including technology, science, politics, etc and they could not follow the

development

in all area and

finally

, they have been broken.

Hence

, I think governments need all types of

growth

simultaneously. In conclusion,

although

the economy is a very important factor in

growth

, politics should begin to improve other aspects by use of investment in some fields

such

as knowledge and industry.
