PROBLEM & SOLUTION SAMPLE
The gap between the rich and the poor is increasingly wide, as rich people
become richer and poor people grow poorer. What problems could this
situation cause? What are the solutions to address those problems?
MODEL ESSAY:
It is true that
the gap between the rich and the poor
is growing wider
in many
regions of the world.
While the problems that result
are complex
,
fundamental solutions
based on expanding education
should be adopted to
tackle this problem
.
Increasing levels of poverty and rising wealth inequalities impact on the
economic growth of a country and the security of its citizens.
In economic
terms
, the existence of a large mass of
unemployed
or
low-paid workers
directly affects domestic businesses,
such as
local shops and factories. As
nobody has money to buy their products, they are themselves forced to close,
creating further unemployment.
In terms of public security
, without the
means of obtaining money through work, the poor may turn to crimes such as
drug trafficking, prostitution, robbery and violent attacks on others. Youth
unemployment has,
in particular
, been linked with rising crime rates.
Governments must,
therefore
, expand educational opportunities to benefit all
their citizens,
in order to
reduce the gap between the rich and the poor. The
provision of a better standard of schooling in slum areas of cities and in poor
rural regions
would enable children to
reach a higher level of educational
attainment. Grants and scholarships
could be
used to help students to remain
in education for longer and gain qualifications.
In particular
, technical
education could be expanded, helping poorer children to learn trades. In
construction, engineering, and agriculture, a highly-educated workforce will
be needed in the future, and skilled workers
will be able to
command high
salaries and enjoy a decent standard of living. As work opportunities
improve, crime rates will fall.
Thus,
dealing with the problem at its roots, by expanding educational
opportunities, the authorities
would be able to reduce
the gap between the
wealthy and poor sectors of society.
