It is pretty conspicuous that the developmentchariot of any country primarily (if not wholly) depends on the economydrifts on the wheels of the economy, and thereforethence, many governmentsconstituencies believe that making economic progressrising on the economic front is the main prioritypredominant aspect they need to focus on. However, some people argue that other developmental fronts should be taken seriously as well.

The monetary aspect is a quintessential pillar when it comes to the level of developmentdevelopment stature of a country. The GDP, NNP, NI (National income), etc., are some of the deciding factors that indicate how a country is performingas to how a country has been doing.

Prominent facet as human resources, which is the most epitome treasure needs to be equally focussed on. The other related areassubliminal aligned domains should also be given attentionthrown light upon. Taping right from the educational setup, research methodologies, laboratories, medical amenities, etc., in a way, corresponds to the overall enrichment of the lacuna.

In conclusion, it is not the money or monetary front on its own that makes a sovereign state a superpower. It may be a prominent and eminent dimension, but is not the sole determinant for development. A wholesome opulence of a country comes with all-round prosperity as could be inferred, and hence, accentuating on a monochromatic wavelength doesn’t flourish in an array of the gradient of a successful nation, single handedly.

Overall assessment

Why this response received Band 6.0

The response presents a recognizable discussion of both positions and reaches a consistent conclusion, with an ambitious range of language. Its main limitation is that the supporting ideas remain general and are frequently expressed through inaccurate or over-elaborate wording, which sometimes obscures the logic. The highest-priority improvement is to explain each view with one clear, specific reason or example using simpler, precise vocabulary and more controlled sentences.
