Nowadays government in different countries aims to build infrastructure that helps and provides its residents with all kind of leisure. On the reason above, there is a discussion between different groups of people whether country should invest money in parks, children playgrounds or sport centres to increase unity of citizens. To my opinion, people saying it can increase community spirit are right and should provide arguments to spread the information.
To my point of you, investing in local amenities os one of the best ways and techniques government can use in order to promote a good community spirit. For instance, building a barbecue zone in the middle of the park can bring enormous amount of children, families, friends and other groups of individuals that prefer enjoying cozy evening, followed by conversations.
Firstly, I would like to say that the way of increasing people’s unity depends directly on the people, their mentality and culture, due to the fact that, for instance, in post Soviet Union countries level of corruption is currently increasing dramatically, which means it is almost impossible to track whether money where spent directly on leisure centres or gone to the pockets of politicians. Based on that, one of the measures I would consider is the public voting on which people decide which amenity is more preferable and needs to be renovated or built. Furthermore, one of the most crucial things for people to increase community spirit and make them happy is to make theme parties where it is possible to forget about the problems and enjoy the nigh alone or in friends group. The best example would be Halloween, holiday that everybody in the world waits and easily unties all kind of people.
To sum up, taking care about amenities is very crucial for all the countries in the world. Some of them prefer investment, others make themed holidays and parties, but in the end they all come to one aim and result – increasing unity of the people.
