People should look after their health for personal benefits, rather than a duty for a society. What extent do you agree or disagree?
To begin with, one’s mental and physical condition is inextricably linked to their life quality. In essence, those who maintain a good overall health are capable of performing their tasks more effectively than physically weaker counterparts. In other words, a person’s well-being at the grass-roots level provides the foundation for building wealth and reaching desirable financial status. Additionally, a disease- free body allows people to live life to the fullest, experiencing what life has to offer around you. To illustrate this, one can not participate in extreme sports such as bungee jumping or skydiving if their fitness level is not qualified.
On the other hand, each citizen should consider taking care of their health a responsibility to sustain communal health. Take the outbreak of EBOLA and SARS as a vivid illustration of a single patient infecting a disproportionate number of contact. This is an important wake-up call for ignorant members in every community. In order to prevent and control the super spreading of emerging viruses, concerted effort of the authority and each inhabitant of great importance. Furthermore, a strong and healthy labour force plays a pivotal role in the economic growth of a nation. Consequently, a thriving country with a steadily rising budget would allocate necessary resources to improve the welfare system, ensuring equal access quality health care to all.
In short, human resource is the most valuable asset of a country. Therefore, a healthy community calls for collective actions, in which all the sectors - the local government, individual citizens as well as other groups work together for a common purpose. Staying healthy both physically and mentally can do good to each person and the community as a whole.
