Condemnation of Illegal Residence

Well, it is kind of hot issue in our country that happens for along the year in central cities in our country; that is condemnation of illegal residence. The government is very sensitive when they get the information about illegal residence. They are very adept to solve this problem; by sending their apparatus to remove all the illegal residence. That is a good way to do in order to maintain the regularity of the city. But, don’t we ever thing that what they do is just the same to seize the residents’ right to have their prosperity to live.

Let’s think together deeply; to some extents, condemnation would bring positive and negative impacts for the society. For the positive impact, of course, by doing this policy the arrangement of city planning would be easier to do. So then, the scene of the city will be in good looking. In contrast, it would raise negative effects for the people whose house is removed by condemnation. It is very clear to see, what will happen to them. They no longer have  houses to live. So, they just keep their defenselessness until there some other people or organization would help them. Yeah, it is very tragic for them. So, we can ask ourselves; don’t they have the same right with us to live in peace, safety and prosperity?
