In terms of the government's obligation to support individuals who are unable to support themselves, what is your perspective?
My standpoint is that while the government should strive to minimize poverty levels and guarantee social welfare policies, the notion of assuming total responsibility for the welfare of impoverished people seems unworkable and unsustainable in the long term.
In my view, providing people with resources and skills is necessary for their social and economic mobility, rather than relying on the government to cater to their every need.
Considering society as a whole, it is logical to secure access to basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare for all, which is a cost that we should collectively agree to bear. My analysis suggests that although there may be cons to this approach, like the risk of losing institutional knowledge about self-reliance, the advantages of guaranteeing every citizen's basic needs are met exceed the prospective costs.
