No country around the world is self-reliant. It is said that if a country has unemployment and poverty, it should not help other countries. I completely disagree with this viewpoint because aiding other nations can help the government to redress problems that are prevailed in their own country.

Giving monetary help to a country that is in distress can in-turn reduce the problem of unemployment in one’s own country. Every government has a limited capacity to create jobs every year. If they spend the whole revenue on generating employments, it can compromise other developments. But when the state provides money to other nations, it develops a good relationship between countries. Such harmonious relations culminate in signing trade agreements, memorandum of understandings, and opening bilateral business opportunities. By working together, all governments can eliminate their country-specific issues. For instance, in 2011, Japan was ravaged by tsunamis and lost the property of billions of dollars. Despite having millions of unemployed youth in the country, the Indian government gave ten million dollars to Japan. Because of this humanitarian assistance, in the year 2018, Japan started the project of bullet trains in India and created thousands of jobs. Thus, giving aid to other countries is beneficial for donner countries.

Similarly, it can also assist a country to come out of poverty if it helps other nations. All countries have a finite number of resources. Some countries do not have many resources that could generate enough goods and services to sustain their economy; people of such countries have to work hard, but they receive less income. In this situation, a cordial relationship with the governments of other countries can help a state to send its people to these countries for work. From where, people can earn more money and send remittance. Consequently, help to alleviate poverty in the home country.

To conclude, every country lacks in one or another way. By helping other countries, a state can redress their problems, which cannot be reduced by themselves. Therefore, I disagree with the viewpoint and believe that the state should help other nations.
