Governments often spend large sums of money on spectacular displays to celebrate national events of significance. This money should be better spent on improving social conditions in the country.

It is argued that

instead

of spending huge sums on exaggerated national ceremonies, governments should prioritise the improvement of social conditions. Personally, even though I believe holding national

is important to countries, I do not think there is a need to overspend on them.

Firstly

can foster national culture and boost national unity.

However

, spending a lot of money for only a few days,

such

as spending on fireworks displays, seems to be wasteful, especially for developing countries. When many citizens are suffering from poverty and die of hunger, it is difficult to cultivate a country's culture with celebrations. Under

circumstance, ensuring a decent life for all citizens should be a priority.

Secondly

, achieving national cultural continuity can be done without excessive cost,

for example

On the contrary

For instance

way, there are no unnecessary costs and it allows everyone to work closely and celebrate together.

Furthermore

, the less money is spent on celebrations, the more money could be spent on other social needs to improve education and health services or to alleviate poverty. In conclusion, celebrating national festivals does not necessarily rely on high expenditure.

While

it is good for citizens to connect as a nation, the best way is not through a spectacular celebration, but rather through providing beneficial services to make the country better in every way.
