Heathl care in ielts writing task 2 _ Nguyen Ngoc Huyen

People should look after their health as a duty to the society where they live, rather
than for their own benefits. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Many people hold the view that the health care responsibility belongs to individuals
in their community instead of their own advantages. While I think the awareness in
taking care of our own health is our responsibility, I disagree that we should take it as
our duty in the society without considering it as our benefits.
To begin with, it can be apparently seen that having a healthy and balanced lifestyle
as well as taking care of the quality of our life brings us many benefits. We can also
see it as our motivation to keep taking care of ourselves and improve our health.
There are so many advantages which can be enumerated here: longevity, household’s
economy improving, mental health supporting, ect.
However, it could be too aggressive if people say that the health care of everyone is
their own responsibility to the community and may be the burden on society. For
instance, after the period of quarantine due to Covid 19, the numerous amounts of
labor in Vietnam have withdrawn social insurance 1 time which caused to a harsh
criticism from the authorities. They blame the labor for the disability of insurance and
social welfare. On the other hands, almost all the labor said they would not have
enough money for their basic cost of living if that money could not be withdrawn and
it’s the accountability of the government to taking care of their health during the
pandemic.
In conclusion, while individuals are looking after their health is important issue in
society, this does not indicate that it’s only their duty but also the government,
especially the national legislature also as well.
Many individuals maintain the perspective that the responsibility for healthcare lies
within the community, rather than being pursued solely for personal gain. While I
agree that cultivating an awareness of our personal health is indeed our obligation, I
hold reservations about adopting it as a societal duty without recognizing its inherent
benefits.
To commence, it is evident that adopting a healthy and balanced lifestyle, coupled
with prioritizing our quality of life, brings forth numerous advantages. This approach
can serve as intrinsic motivation to sustain our well-being and enhance our health.

The benefits encompass a range of aspects, including longevity, improved household
finances, bolstered mental well-being, and more.
However, asserting that the healthcare of each individual should be solely their
responsibility for the community could potentially be overly forceful and
inadvertently burden the society. For instance, consider the aftermath of the Covid-19
quarantine period in Vietnam, during which a significant number of laborers
withdrew from social insurance including health insurance, eliciting stern criticism
from authorities. While these workers were blamed for compromising the insurance
and social welfare system, they counterargued that their inability to meet basic living
expenses forced them to access these funds. In their view, the government holds a
degree of responsibility in safeguarding their he alth during the pandemic.
In conclusion, while individuals' commitment to their personal health is undeniably a
crucial societal concern, this doesn't necessarily imply that it should be their
exclusive duty. Rather, it should be shared with the government, particularly the
national legislature, which also bears a significant role in this regard.
