While ancient sites and museums appeal to a large number of tourists, native people show little
interest in visiting these places. This essay will examine the main causes of locals’ negligence and
possible solutions to this problem.
People are divided in their opinion regarding how modern technology has improved sociable
behavior or has decreased social communication. The following essay outlines both sides of the
argument and I give my opinion.
Structure & cohesion
To begin with, natives are not attracted by historical structures and memorials of their homeland
anymore. In other words, they have gone to visit them certainly for several times so taking a tour and
viewing this kind of places that they have seen so far, is not going to be as fascinating and exceptional
as the first time.
Structure & cohesion
On the one hand with improvement of technology and increasing the use of the Internet people
sometimes become addicted to it and social interaction has decreased for example some young people
prefer spend their time on being in internet rather than socializing with their friends and going out with
them or shopping online and read reviews instead of hearing their friends’ opinions.
Taking everything into consideration, I have come to the conclusion that administration play crucial
role to attend senior citizens and responsible to check them in comfort zone rather than their families.
Structure & cohesion
For examples: research has found that developed countries get obtain 80 percent of budgets from the
taxes, it means after force work retired, government are responsible about them.
Structure & cohesion
Some possible solutions are schemes to attract people and also lowering the ticket price. The
authorities should plan some events and also try to exhibit something different. In spite of the fact that
ancient places are absolutely valuable but the government must depict them from various aspects to
catch people’s notice again. Moreover, a reasonable reduction in the fees can lead to an increase in the
number of visitors. For instance, the officials can make a rule to charge locals as half as international
tourists.
Structure & cohesion
All in all, local residents do not enjoy seeing archaeological sites because there is nothing new to
explore, whereas the tourists fancy exploring these places, which they are not familiar with. The
government can take inhabitants’ attention back by organizing clever plans and also cutting prices.
Structure & cohesion
The way I see it, the main problem is that these organizations suffer from a lack of creativity in
presenting their exhibitions thus, natives who are already familiar with the museums in their hometown
have nothing new and exciting to look forward to. As a result, visit rates from locals tend to decrease.
In the heart of that lies another problem which is the entry fee. Understandably, people, Especially the
ones who come from a low-income household, do not have the desire to spend money on something
they have already experienced, however there are a wide variety of ways to solve these issues.
Allocating more funding to museums and monuments in order to create more innovative and
interesting experience for visitors can be a major step. One example of that is creating a visual
narration of the history of a particular piece and how it came to be a valuable item. Another way to
attract more locals is to cut down the entry fee on certain days by holding different festivals.
Structure & cohesion
Having the considerable strain the home for the aged put on health care system due to the heavy
expenses, it is essential the administration and the children of the old people take responsible for
spending money. There are arguments who is more in charge of pay for this care; however, we will
discuss here.
In conclusion, the elderly are entitled to receive services from both the government and families.
Mutually, the financial problems should be dealt with by administrations to a large extent rather than
taxpayers.

To begin with, some teens may overwhelmingly be interested in collecting varieties of entertaining
tools. This action would have a detrimental role in behaviour and manner of a child. In fact, children are

is having numerous toys, he might not be fulfilled with just a few numbers of such items; therefore,
having a number of amusing toys would make them greedy and they usually crave for different
entertaining devices.
