Imagine this situation: the city you live in wants to build a "Las Vegas" style casino in the area. They think the gambling and the entertainment will bring more tourists and money and help the local economy.
What would be the advantages and disadvantages of such a proposal?
There are many business opportunities that help the economy of a city grow strong. Building a casino can boost the local economy. However, when a casino is considered source of cash, it must be carefully thought through because there are disadvantages as well as advantages that come with gambling.
One of the advantages of building a casino in a city is that it will allow many job opportunities for the locals. The casino will need people for managers. This will help the economy of the area develop, allowing the citizens to have a higher standart of living. Another advantage is having many tourists especially from foreign countries. This will help foreign currency flow into the city and help the economy grow stronger. Furthermore, the city will be able to have better roads, electricity, water, telecommunications due to the growth.
However, there are disadvantages of having such facilities in one's city. The one that citizens are mostly concerned about is education. When a casino is built in a city, young adults might be diverted from schools and further education and will pursue an easier way to earn money. This will lower education standards in the city. In addition, developing the city will cause environmental and cultural destruction.
There are many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to building a casino in a city. If my city was to build one, I would oppose it because I believe that there are many more serious problems with a casino than benefits. Gambling is not a wise way to earn money. Money should be earned with the hard and diligent work of citizens, not by gambling. (273 words)
