And, when they happen to have to do so, it is not that major cities are culturally

more important.

A national government "must ensure" that the entire nation receives proper

leadership it needs in order to thrive and survive in this world of competing

nations. A regional government " must ensure" that every city, town and village in

the region are properly looked after. As for " financial support," a government

must give it in such a way that the support results only in benefits, and never in

resentment. For example, it is better that it is given to a city or region or

village that most needs it, and can bring the largest benefit to both the region

and the country in general. In that way, not only people in the region that

receives the support but also the entire population will praise the government for

its wise use of public money.

Nowadays, in underdeveloped countries in particular, the "major cities" are far

better-off, while the rural districts, especially villages far from towns and

cities, most need financial ...
... support from the government. In these places, while

city people are talking about the second and third family TV set and cars, children

get their bikes as unusual gifts. In the many miserable villages, parents still

have difficulty feeding their babies, not to mention the fact that many of the

children, especially girls, can not go to school. On the other hand, major cities

are not only better-off, but have also become able enough to support themselves in

their effort to thrive, and can use a variety of financial resources — from

investment from their own citizens to capital from foreigners. Therefore, for the

general benefit of the country, the government should think first of financial

needs of those worse off regions and people, who need not just to thrive, but also

to survive.

However, even if the government must ensure that their major cities receive

financial support, it is not be-cause that "it is primarily in cities that a

nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated. " Nothing can be

culturally more erroneous than that statement. In any country with a "cultural

tradition" to speak of, such tradition finds its origin in villages dating hundreds

or thousands of years back. More importantly, it is in the village that such

traditions are whole-heartedly loved and carefully preserved at present. That is

why we city people travel to remote, mountainous villages to observe our own

culture — to watch how today's villagers are still in the same clothes that our

ancestors were, and how they eat in the same manner as our great-great grandfathers

did.

On the contrary, a nation's major cities are mostly modern communities, made up

probably of a variety of nationalities with a variety of "cultural traditions. "

And city people, especially the young, are every day under the influence of other

cultures. " Please help preserve our cultural traditions," you say to them. " Oh,

bosh I Let's forget about cultural traditions and try our best to follow fashions,"

they say pleasantly to you. As a result, major cities are places where a nation's

cultural traditions have probably become lost, not to mention overlooked and

ignored.

That would mean that, if the government is to give financial support in order of

cultural importance, it is the villages that should receive the utmost attention.
