D. GIVING OPINION
In your opinion, should the government be responsible in helping the poor? Provide reasons.

In my opinion, the government should be responsible to help the poor. The reason is because it is
our obligation to treat others we ourselves want them do that too if we are in their situation. Next, it
is a way to reduce the differences between the poor and the rich. Another reason also included the
government is an organization that helps people live better lives so it is their responsibility to at least
give some donation.
