问题     Some people say that giving aid to poor countries has more negative effects than positive ones. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案     In this age of globalisation, nations are more closely bonded than ever before. So it is quite common for rich countries to give international aid to the more impoverished ones.
    The positive sides of this practice are easily noted. With foreign investment, there tends be more chances of employment in less developed places, which means more income for the local people and greater social stability for the local communities. More direct benefits can also be noticed in the fields of education and medical care. As a result of medical donations, and some dedicated medical teams in particular, some prevalent diseases have been controlled or eradicated in several poor nations. And with the support of educational resources from developed countries, more schools have been set up in impoverished countries, so people there have more accesses to education, which actually helps to promote the development of those places in the long run.
    On the other hand, people who claim giving aid is more of a curse than a blessing may argue that the poorest nations are typically badly governed, where corruption, official incompetence, and the failure to protect basic property rights are capable of rendering the aid not just useless but harmful. This is indeed a problem. However, the point here is not that we should be sceptical of the concept of international aid itself, but that the way we implement it should be improved.
    Overall, I am supportive of the idea that richer countries have a moral responsibility to help poor ones and this endeavour has more benefits than drawbacks and should therefore be encouraged.
