It is believed that authorities should allocate more money to the medicine field to protect residents’ physical well-being rather than on protecting nature. While such kind of funding is reasonable, I would argue that allocation of government funding should be distributed to both fields equally.
Undeniably, spending more money on medical research to safeguard individuals’ health is rational in many aspects. The primary reason is that it improves people’s health and prevents potential disease among people. For example, conducting research in one unknown kind of illness and discovering how to treat it can eventually benefit not only citizens, but also the government in a financial way. As many people from other countries who are seeking treatment will get to know and visit the country where the invention was made. Thus, through funding endeavors related to medicine assists in terms of contributing to the overall well-being of individuals and attracts people from other countries too, with health issues.
However, I firmly believe that distribution of government’s funding more on medicine is not always practical. Since, not spending a sufficient amount of money on protecting the environment could result in getting more health-related problems. For instance, if authorities do not take into consideration the litter and rubbish on streets, meaning that not hiring professionals to clean streets, it could have some negative consequences, especially when it comes to the health of the public. This is because, there are many types of diseases that can be easily spread through the air and their roots usually stem from those litters around the city.
In conclusion, despite providing some benefits, equitable funding resources is more valid, as focusing too much on one sphere and not paying attention to other fields of equal importance may contribute to having other health issues.
