Some people think governments should focus on reducing environmental pollution and housing problem to help people prevent illness and disease. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Illness and disease can be a heavy burden for families in poor situations. Some of

this

suffering is highly related to the

environment

and accommodations. Some believe that it’s the

government

’s responsibility to improve the surrounding quality for citizens. In my point of view, it is the

government

that is

taking care of the issue.

to do so for cost reasons. The

government

can use executive and legal measures, which none of the other organizations can do, to contain these behaviours.

For example

, the London

government

passed the law of clean air and took measures to help residents get rid of burning coal for heating in the 1950s to fight against the great smog which potentially caused thousands of deaths during the period.

Second,

health is highly relevant to habitat conditions. Research has shown that more than a hundred physical and mental illness is related to pollution and living quality.

Such

problems can partly be solved by a well urban planning and organization, which is the

government

’s duty.

For instance

, a city with well-designed architecture can place people in desirable surroundings and ease their mental stress with good scenery and society. In a word, improving the

environment

and accommodation should be placed in the prior position on the

government

’s to-do list.
