    Some people said the government should not spend money on building theaters and sports stadiums. Instead, it should spend more money on medical care and education. Do you agree or disagree?

    The government in every country manages lots of domestic resources, such as currencies, materials, golds and so on. Therefore, they are responsible for allocating these crucial resources effectively. There is an argument about whether should they spend more on entertainment facilities or medical care and education. In my opinion, the latter is more important.

    To begin with, governments should give top priority to investments on basic human needs, such as education and medical care. This is because all people need them. Furthermore, everyone deserves to be healthy and have a complicated medical system to promise efficient, low-cost treatments.

    Then, governments should pay more attention to what people need rather than want. In this topic, theaters as well as sports stadiums are what people want, which may cause a heavy financial burden on governments. For example, we all want to host the Olympics Games to leave a great impressions all over the world. However, the sports stadiums built for it only used once, leading to a severe loss. In this way, it is irrational to put investments primarily on entertainment programs.

    Finally, this is not to say that governments spend money on building theaters and gym stadiums is not necessary. There is no doubt that entertainment facilities can promote citizens’ physical and emotional development. However, if people can not accept good education and immediate medical care, their basic needs will not be satisfied. Will they have spare time to relax? Of course, the answer is they will not.

    In conclusion, governments are under obligation to allocate resources they supervising. Moreover, they should meet basic human needs and then focus on other programs.
