Pluses and minuses of living in Ukraine.
Ukraine
is a developing state. And like in every developing state there are some pluses
and minuses of living in a young, developing country, like Ukraine. I have tried
to gather all of them and I found 2 pluses and 4 minuses.
So, let
us consider all the pluses I have found.
The first
one is that living in Ukraine one can preserve
his or her national Ukrainian culture, keep his or her native cultural
traditions freely and practice his or her religion. Our government does a lot to
preserve it - in passed 17 years of Ukrainian independence lots of educational
establishments became ukrainisated; Ukrainian national heroes were remembered
and honored, and of course Ukrainiah became the official language of the state.
The second and not less
important is that nowadays there are lots
of working stations in Ukraine. With the help of foreign investments huge
Ukrainians factories and plants, which have been built in Soviet times but were
half-ruined during perestroika, are restored. And there are lots of working
facilities on them.
And now let us examine all the minuses I managed to find.
The first and the most “bright minus” of living in Ukraine is that the incomes here are very low.
School and university teachers, doctors and service sector workers receive a
really tiny amount of money, and most of them have to find underworkings.
Inflation is also
a huge minus of life in Ukraine: the prices keep growing and small salaries keep
staying stable.
It is an unstable political situation in Ukraine
and no one knows who will be at the head of our state tomorrow. And who wants
to live in a country with perm anent treat of political upheaval?
The next one is that medical treatment is free of charge in Ukraine and in fact it is not.
One has either to bring his own drugs to the hospital or to pay for them
because the medical treatment is not financed enough.
So, I
have found much more minuses than pluses of living in Ukraine. They made me
think about the next question: Do I really want to build my future in the
country that has so many minuses and gives so few benefits for its citizens?
