Nevertheless, I believe that the long-term advantages of economic development outweigh the aforementioned problems. One of them is the growth in lucrative employment opportunities for citizens, which raises household incomes. This improvement allows significant investments in children's education and healthcare, improving the quality of the future labor force, which is crucial for sustainable economic growth. Additionally, robust economies can generate more than enough wealth to allocate sufficient resources for the preservation of a country’s cultural values, rather than necessarily diluting them. South Korea effectively illustrates this by using economic gains to restore historic sites and promote its culture globally through K-pop and cinema, all of which attract tourists and further feed the economy, allowing cultural and economic growth to work in tandem.
