The forty-second essay
Most countries want to improve standard of living through economic development, however, others think social value is lost as a result. Do you think the advantages of economic development outweigh the disadvantages?
Answer:
In this day and age, the citizenry of a nation whose living standard has reflected the nation's wealth and strength as well as status. Thus, most countries on this planet start to focus on developing their economies thereby improving citizens' living standards, while others believe that might sacrifice the social value.
Indeed, economic development has improved people's living standards obviously. First and foremost, economic development promotes citizens' consumption. In terms of import, people have been allowed to purchase some goods they might never seen before or out of season. Likewise, the high sales of goods contribute great profits to enterprises and factories. More precisely, the main contributor of people's increasing salaries is their companies obtain profits. As a consequence, more incomes enable people to buy more goods. This virtuous cycle has made people's living increasingly happy.
However, others think economy might develop at the expense of social value. That might because the economic development is accompanied by globalisation, more precisely, the impact of the foreign cultures' aggression. Undoubtedly, developing economy is unavoidable to confront foreign cultures and suffer the cultural impacts. But as global village has linked the people all around the world together currently, that has been a unavoidable development. Additionally, economic development might make citizens money-worshipping. As a matter of fact, the wide gap between the needy and the wealthy has existed in many developed countries.
Summarily, in my opinion, economic development has improved people's living standards greatly, even though that might create cultural aggression and the gap between needy people and rich people, but that is a unavoidable development. The citizenry of a nation whose living standards reflect the nation's wealth and strength as well as status.
