Task answer

It is debatable that whether government should spend a higher amount on maintaining old buildings. I completely disagree with this. I believe modern buildings should be established in today's developing era. This essay shall contain why I do not agree with the given idea and give my explanation on what is my viewpoint. To start with, It is being said that historical places attracts visitors and boost in tourism economy. In contrast, new buildings gives variety of accessibilities since it includes shopping malls, food centers and game zones. In addition to this, modern facilities will give a wide range of employment options to the local public. For example, if a shopping mall has been developed by a government would provide plenty of jobs as a worker in a shop, security guard at the gate or a ticket checker in game zones instead of spending on maintenance of old museum. Hence, I go with, investment in new complex is a better vision compare to historical one. Secondly, bringing a new infrastructure is more valuable and in a need than old one which occupy a valuable land and does not provide much for local residents. For instance, government should use a valuable space of an ancient building to construct a school for poor people. That not only brings a positive impact on society but also educate more people locally. Furthermore, building a hospital can be beneficial in certain ways such as, better treatment, nearly accessible and employment. Therefore, developing nations prioritize modern buildings can help them to compete in fast growing era with providing the best facilities to people. In conclusion, I disagree on spending a chunk of money on old buildings with lesser advantages instead of modern ones with several key benefits. Major funds should be allocated to new infrastructure to make people grow financially by getting employment and socially by having facilities around them to meet plenty of new people.
