Many governments believe that economic

progress

should be a top priority, but I believe there are many other aspects that are equally important. There are three key reasons why economic growth is seen as a fundamental goal for countries.

, economic

progress

means more money can be available for governments to use in infrastructure and public services.

For example

, a government with higher revenues can improve its transport network, education system and hospitals.

, a strong economy allows

to stand on the global stage in terms of its political influence and trading power.

However

, I would argue that there are many aspects just as significant as the economic growth mentioned above.

Firstly

, the area of social justice, human rights, equality and democracy cannot be ignored.

For example

, the treatment of minority groups is a reflection of the moral standards and level of development of a society.

In addition

, another key consideration when judging the

progress

of a modern country is how well that country protects the natural environment, and whether it is moving towards environmental sustainability. At

, the success of a nation should be measured by looking at the health, well-being and happiness of people. In conclusion, economic

progress

is an important goal for many governments because of its benefits,

I believe that the other fields

also

need to be paid attention to equally.
