This bar chart shows four different means of transport that people used to travel to and from work in one European city in 1950, 1970 and 1990.

In 1950, most popular way to travel was walking. Over 35% of people travelled to work on foot. Walking became lass popular in the years that followed. A similar trend can be seen for those people travelling by bikes. It was the second favourite mode of transport in 1950 but the numbers of bikers went down gradually in 1970 and in 1990.

The usage of cars was the lowest in 1950, when only 5% of people used cars for travelling. However, the number of car user dramatically increased to nearly 23% in 1970 and continued rising to nearly 35% in 1990. On the other hand, public transport bus usage was 18% in 1950, spiked up to 27% in 1970, and fell back to 15% in 1990.

The government's role is to control society as a whole, not to look after the individual. Therefore everyone should pay for his or her own needs.

Do you think governments are responsible for the welfare of the individual?


The government is a kind of political organisation elected by their people to steer the nation in the most effective way. In other words, the role of the government is to control society as a whole as well as to look after each and every one of its citizens. However, some people believe that governments are not responsible for the welfare of the individual and the public should pay for their own needs. I am not totally in agreement with this view and this essay will discuss this issue further.

As for citizens' rights, governments should provide the basic needs to their population who do not otherwise have any means to support themselves. Food, shelter, clothing and a free education and health service should be made available to people who cannot provide for themselves. For instance, the unemployed, disabled, orphaned and elderly are the vulnerable ones. They are undoubtedly a big burden for the taxpayers. However, free education and vocational training can greatly reduce this problem. In addition, it will help to lower the unemployment rate which is the sole responsibility of the government.

On the other hand, people with sufficient means should pay for their own basic needs and extracurricular items providing that they can support their good selves. People from a different income range will have different needs. Quite often, it can be seen that some wealthy people spend a fortune on luxury things. In fact, the government will receive a considerable amount of GST from those people spending large amounts of money. Ironically, this tax money can be used to assist those in needs.

To sum up, governments are responsible for the welfare of citizens especially those who cannot support themselves. Yet, as a general rule, each and every citizen is most responsible for his or her own survival.
