Nowadays more and more people want to get things done instantly (services, information, tasks). Why is this? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

In many countries, children are becoming overweight and unhealthy. Some people think that the government has the responsibility to solve this problem.
To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Concerns have been raised over falling trends in children’s health in many parts of the world. In this regard, some suggest that it is the government’s responsibility to address health issues like obesity and generally poor health among children. While I share this view, I am also of the opinion that other parties such as parents and local communities should play their part to improve the well-being of children.
To start, there are some valid reasons why the government plays an essential role in improving children’s health. Firstly, it is the government’s business to ensure that its population, especially youngsters, is healthy. This is because it is an extremely challenging task to build a strong nation without healthy citizens. Therefore, by mitigating common health problems among children, governments are more likely to secure a prosperous future. Furthermore, unlike with small communities and some parents, most governments have resources such funds and access to facilities like healthcare centers and sports halls to curb the issue of overweightness and poor well-being among the youth. The problem in question often seems insurmountable if insufficient resources are allocated; hence, government intervention is critical.
That said, one cannot overlook the role of parents and communities to help alleviate health issues among children. Government measures aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle among children are often ineffective without proper parental supervision. Parents should watch their children’s diet closely and encourage them to do exercise regularly. More specifically, parents are required to calculate caloric intake of their children as well as keeping track of their daily exercise volume. Moreover, sporting events can also be organized on community level to raise children’s awareness of health problems stemming from obesity and incentivize them to lead a more active life. These events do not require much money to be set up as long as parents and schools are willing to act as patrons.
In conclusion, having considered the role of the government, parents, and local communities in combatting the growing health issue among children, I am inclined to say that they all should be equally responsible for ensuring the well-being of our children.
