Writing Example 7

Should wealthy nations be required to share their wealth among poorer nations by providing such things as food and education? Or is it the responsibility of the governments of poorer nations to look after their citizens themselves?

I think wealthy nations should be required to share their wealth among poorer nations. However, their help should stop at providing such things as food and education because of three following reasons.

Firstly, citizens of both wealthy nations and poorer nations are human beings. Therefore, we can not look at, hear of, and talk about people who lack food, education, housing, clothing, without compassion and sympathy. Sharing wealth among poorer nations is not only a good deed but also a duty itself.

Secondly, many nations in Africa and Asia are very, very poor. Famine, diseases, crime and illiteracy are killing their citizens. On the contrary, a lot of nations in Europe and America are very rich. If there are no actions taken, this inequality will increase dramatically. Poor countries will become poorer and poorer while rich countries will become richer and richer. As a result, poorest countries will be slaves of richest countries. So, sharing wealth is a useful way to prevent people from that bad future.

Thirdly, although sharing wealth among poorer nations is very necessary, this helping should only stop at providing such things as food, medicine and education. Or else, poor nations may depend on aid. They won’t have enthusiasm to build their countries by themselves. Moreover, rich nations can take advantage of sharing wealth to interfere deeply in poor nations’ governments. This can’t be considered humane action and should be prevented. In my opinion, sharing wealth among poorer nations has both bad side and good side. What we have to do is avoid its bad side and practice its good side.
