National Prosperity Theory --- National Military
Military is of national importance. A nation that neglects its military will perish. In order to protect the people and national assets from foreign threats, the nation must build up its military strength. However, if the military expenditure is too large, it will be a big burden for the nation. The people must think carefully about what to do with the military to make the country prosperous.
The purpose of military affairs is national security and prosperity. A nation must be prepared so that war does not weaken it and destroy it. A war can be a war with a foreign country, a civil war, or a war with a particular dangerous organization. A nation should not base its military strategy solely on the assumption that it will fight a foreign country. It is necessary to flexibly formulate strategies from a broader perspective as to where the threats to the nation lie.
Armament costs money. No military budget is enough to fully prepare for every conceivable war. Military spending is, so to speak, an endless money-eater for nations. If we continue to expand our armaments earnestly, the national finances will worsen due to that, and the nation may self-destruct. It is dangerous for the nation to spend too little or too much on the military budget.
How to build effective armaments with a small budget is an important issue that could affect the survival of a nation. States need to constantly check whether their armaments are an effective deterrent to foreign or domestic forces that can be unrest, and to find better and more effective ways.
Weapons get old and someday become obsolete. With the advancement of science and technology, some weapons become obsolete before they become old. Weapons purchased at a high price cannot be relied on if they become unusable immediately. States must consider weapon purchases from a long-term perspective. It is desirable not to fall into the stupidity of having too many old and useless weapons.
Military training is extremely important in military affairs. People are what make a military. It is said that we live in an age where science and technology have progressed and we will fight with advanced weapons and IT. It can be said that how to train the military and how to raise soldiers are the most important issues for national security and prosperity.
The state must have firm control over its armed forces. If the military cannot be controlled, the nation itself will be endangered by the military. Rather than tightening or loosening the control of the military, it will always give the military tasks, goals, and directions that will give them a sense of purpose, challenge, and accomplishment. In addition, it is important to draw up awareness of the problems that have arisen among military personnel as national issues, and to tackle them sincerely. What is needed is a relationship in which the military can trust the state and the state can trust the military.
National defense should always be considered together with diplomacy. National security does not depend on the military alone, but can only be achieved when diplomacy and the military work together effectively. In addition, in order for the military to contribute to domestic stability, it is necessary to maintain firm internal control. In order to prevent domestic unrest, it is effective not only to stare at the military, but also to change the laws and social structures for the better.
Military is important to a nation. However, it is not a simple matter of simply buying a large amount of weapons and expanding military power.
A nation is made up of people. A nation is composed of its citizens. A prosperous nation is when its people are rich. A nation cannot be prosperous unless its citizens are prosperous. In order for many citizens to become wealthy, it is necessary to revitalize corporate activities and develop the economy. To that end, it is necessary to create an environment in which people and companies can work actively.
A nation must be a place where people can live with peace of mind as a home to which they should return. It would be nice if there were a place to live and a job that are the basis of life, friends, competition to develop skills, a culture that enriches the mind, and an educational system that allows you to learn at any time. A nation must continue to provide opportunities for its citizens to become richer. It is the raison d'etre of a nation to remain the place its citizens want to spend their entire lives here.
A nation must respect its national polity. If the national polity is defiled, or if the national polity itself is lost, the nation will not only fall into disrepair, but will even lose its raison d'etre as a nation. A nation should always respect its national polity and never neglect it. A nation is made up of a national polity, and a national polityis made up of people's support.
Crisis management is a national priority. Predicting, grasping, and managing crises that could plague the nation is essential for people to live with peace of mind. Direct and easy-to-understand crises include foreign military threats, disasters, epidemics, crime, and domestic riots, but they are not the only crises. The laziness and bad habits of governments and people are also invisible crises that slowly but surely lead nations toward bankruptcy.
A nation must make full use of its intelligence to ensure its own survival and development. Intelligence and its active use are essential in order for knowledge and information to successfully contribute to the survival and development of a nation. In order for the nation to prosper, it is necessary for the people to learn intelligence and how to use it.
Education is essential for the prosperity of a nation. A nation's destiny will change greatly depending on how it educates. Prosperous nations place a strong emphasis on education. Education must evolve with the times. A country that continues to have a biased and outdated education will gradually decline. What kind of education should be provided is an important issue that affects the prosperity of the nation.
In order for a nation to prosper, it is most important that the nation itself is healthy. When a nation is sick and in a slump, its survival, let alone its prosperity, is at stake. In order to maintain good health, it is necessary to treat and prevent diseases that undermine the nation, and to develop habits to maintain good health at all times. National health is also important for the safety and health of our citizens.
Industrial development is essential for a nation to prosper. If industry develops, it can be expected that employment will increase and people's income will increase. If income increases and people become richer, tax revenue will naturally increase, and the national budget can also be increased. What should we do as a nation to successfully develop industry? Creating an environment for industrial development is important for a nation to prosper.
Military is of national importance. A nation that neglects its military will perish. In order to protect the people and national assets from foreign threats, the nation must build up its military strength. However, if the military expenditure is too large, it will be a big burden for the nation. The people must think carefully about what to do with the military to make the country prosperous.
The nation must strive for welfare and disaster prevention so that citizens can live with peace of mind. There are many things that the state can do for welfare. Also, since we do not know when and how large a disaster will come, we must always be prepared. However, welfare and disaster prevention should not put pressure on national finances and jeopardize national management.
It costs money to run a country. National expenditures are basically covered by “taxes” that are compulsorily collected from the people. The management of the country changes greatly depending on where and how much tax is collected. The market economy, people's lives, national defense capabilities, disparities between the rich and the poor, injustice and security, and the level of education of the people are affected by the way taxes are applied. The nation must find and adopt a tax system that will prosper in the medium to long term.
It may be said that the prosperity of a nation ultimately depends on how its people live. A country cannot be said to be prosperous if many of its citizens are suffering and miserable. A nation's prosperity requires, above all else, an overall improvement in the lives of its people. There is no prosperity for the nation if the people's lives do not improve.
States are inevitably involved in international politics. A nation must survive in international politics while protecting its own sovereignty and citizens. Furthermore, in order for a country to prosper, it is necessary to strengthen its own political system so that it is not swayed by international politics, and to strengthen its presence and influence in international politics. In order to aim for national prosperity in international politics, where countries around the world have mixed expectations, long-term plans and steady development efforts are required.
Sometimes nations have to go to war to survive. War consumes a great deal of national power and causes a great deal of damage. Still, winning a war can show your strength as a nation. However, in some cases, the nation becomes extremely weak, and the nation itself may perish. Both choosing war and avoiding war pose risks for nations. War is an extremely serious issue that should not be taken lightly.
Economic globalization is progressing, and the domestic economy will not develop well if we only look at domestic trends. It is necessary to aim for the development of the national economy in light of global economic trends. No matter where we are today, we cannot avoid the impact of the global economy, and we must work to improve our competitiveness in the world for the sake of national prosperity.
A nation should be a place where people feel happy to be there. The state is required to pursue policies that will make the majority of the people happier. In order for the nation to prosper, it is desirable that the people become rich and their sense of happiness increases. First of all, let's think carefully about what we can do to make the people happy.
A nation makes history. Now that we have created history, we would like to utilize it for the prosperity of the nation. If, by reading the history of a nation, people will become diligent, make no mistakes, and do their best for the nation's further prosperity, then there is nothing to be desired. When we create history, we want to create a history that will inspire future generations to read our history and aim to build a better nation.
A nation leaves various legacies through its activities. Seeing the legacy left by a nation, future generations will appreciate that nation. It is no exaggeration to say that the future value of a nation is determined by what kind of legacy it leaves behind. When a nation conducts activities, it may be better to be aware of what kind of legacy it will leave in the future and how it can be evaluated by future generations.
