Economic progress is often used to measure a country’s success. However, some people believe that other factors are more important. What other factors should also be considered when measuring a country’s success? Do you think one factor is more important than others? While success in economy has always been considered one of the highly significant factors at play in a successful community by an overwhelming majority of members of society, many vote the view that though a prosperous economy can lead to a higher standard of living for almost everyone, there are other key factors, such as equality, freedom of speech and free education and healthcare which should not be overlooked. This short essay elaborates important factors of a successful society. Since a community consists of individuals with a wide range of interests, it goes without saying that not everyone is satisfied with living in a prosperous country lacking of democracy for example. Many people strongly hold the idea that their happiness does not necessarily consist in financial success. Living in a wealthy country where people suffer from different kinds of discriminations, lack of free education and right of speech certainly can dissatisfy the populace. On the other hand, the advocates of financial success reason that the economy is the main pillar of a modern society where other building blocks will be built on this crucially important block. They argue that not only is a strong economy to the benefit of those who are involved directly in economic activities, but it also can pave the way for those who are dealing with other important fields such as academics or journalists. To cut a long story short, I must confess that arguably the economy plays a vital role in success of a country, but this does not mean that we can achieve it at the price of sacrificing other important factors. It is high time people made struck a strike balance between materialistic ideology and other humanitarian values such as freedom and an egalitarian society. I believe gone are the days when people thought that everything is achievable for the wealthy.
