Topic: Should government invest poor population or hi-tech research.

Government investment has been put on more and more emphasis since people’s gradual awareness¹ of its importance. The discussion of whether the government should investigate in Hi-Tech products or on poor people become fierce among different people. In my opinion, this is a dilemma² which cannot be easily decided³. However, the poor people should be concerned first.

People is the most fundamental aspect to form the society, thus they deserve more emphasis. It was our ancestors who first lit a fire with wood and bring light and culture to this world. And it is due to this, society was gradually formed and developed as we can see today. We can not ignore the significant role that people play in the long history of this world, therefore, as the central machine of country, government is responsible for every person in the society, and it should concern those who are poor and give them necessary help.

In addition, poverty will make the society unstable⁴. Because of poverty, many people tend to steal or rub with the purpose of making a living, which highly increase the crime rate. Being desperate, some of them become more assailable⁵, with their brain full of resentment⁶ and envy. As a result, they find killing⁷ an innocent person or lit a fire on other’s house is a good way of releasing their anger, and that’s what we often see in the news. If our government don’t investigate on them, we can not imagine what our society will be like.

Moreover, using a lot of money on Hi-Tech in a country which still has a large poor population is a waste of money. To produce a large number of Hi-Tech products will certainly lead to the result of detaining in stores because people have neither money nor emotion to enjoy the luxuries. When poor people are making every effort to make their ends meet, the government have no reason not to give a hand in them but put money on wasteful⁸ research or explore on Hi-Tech products.

To sum up, investigating on poor people’ benefit overweigh using money on Hi-Tech products. It is better to make poor people rich first, and then enjoy the pleasure that Hi-Tech bring to us.
