governance?' Write your response in around 300 words.

When it comes to Monarchy and whether it is a fair system or not, people have
conflicting views. Some believe it is a good system because it has been used for
so long and nobody opposed it, While others hold the notion that it is one of the
worst political systems because of its unfairness. From my perspective, Even
though Monarchy is a good system, there are better systems.

On one hand, Monarchy gives people a symbol of hope, a role model to follow.
The King/Queen, Emperor, and leader are symbolic and have privileges, manners
and help the younger generations to become better people. They do charity,
events and give out awards for people, making youngsters feel proud. Secondly
the leaders are usually not elected but followed by bloodline. This would
promote a good image about their country around the world. What I mean is
that the leader could shape their family easier giving them a less chance of
having accidents or bad things happening to their name.For example, the United
Kingdom has the royal family and they shape their family in manners, clothing,
eating habits and so much more. Thirdly, The Buckingham Palace raised a lot of
money in tourism, helping their financials and so much more, the palace itself is
one of the symbols for the UK. People visited there and in total, tourism in the UK
has made over 1.8 billion dollars. In conclusion, 76% in the UK approved this
system so many people believe it is fine that the royal family have control.

On the other hand, Monarchy is not a fair system for many reasons. First of all,
the citizens do not get a vote or a choice of choosing who they want as leader or
representative since the leader is not elected but comes through family. This
mean that if the new leader is not experienced enough, it would cause a lot of
trouble. Also, Monarchy is very expensive, paying for the royal family and their
palace, while that money could have directly helped numerous people and
solved thousands of problems. In addition to that, It is not fair that some people
are born with a silver spoon while others have to work their way to success. The
way the Royal family spent money without needing to work from number 0.
Finally, when a leader is crowned, if they do not want that position or want to
abdicate, they could not. This means that they are forced to be the leader for the
rest of their life.

In conclusion, I believe that even though monarchy is a good system for some
countries, but It is not fair and should be removed sometime soon.
