　　Some people believe that the best way to produce a happier society is to ensure that there are only small differences between the richest and the poorest members. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

　　1）There exists a considerable gap of wealth between people in every society. Although narrowing this gap is effective for some people to raise their level of happiness, I do not believe that it is the best way for everyone to feel satisfied.

　　2）It is true that the inequality among different classes is the underlying cause of numerous social problems. For example, a lot of crimes are committed by those who cannot make ends meet and cases of social unrest by the jobless frequently hit newspaper headlines around the world. In addition, compared with rich people, poor members of society have to struggle with many things, such as the rising housing price, the expensive medical service, and the soaring cost of living. Therefore, a society of equalitarianism seems to be a good solution to all the problems mentioned above and be able to improve many people's sense of satisfaction.

　　3）Nevertheless, I would argue that to make a society a paradise requires far more than a narrowed wealth gap. This is because many people give their priority to other factors rather than the wealth gap. Firstly, in places where air pollution is a grave problem, citizens pay more attention to their health than wealth. In this case, government's effort to purify dangerously polluted air weighs more than that made to narrow the income difference. In addition, people living in economically developed countries, such as the US and Germany, are much less concerned by the wealth gap and they would rather ask their government to focus on other social issues, ranging from animal rights to democracy.

　　4）In summary, the key to improving the happiness index of a country lies partly in how small the gap is between rich and poor people, but there are many other factors having more impacts in this regard.
