Introduction
The economical and political well being is the best activity, which shows the whole situation in the country and is the basis for the judgments about the quality of life of people in the country. Country usually tries to provide different actions with the aim to improve people’s lives, to make it better and happier. The quality of people’s life is a very informative activity, which may tell a lot about the whole community and country in general. Puerto Rico is one of the countries, which cares about its citizens and their quality of life on the governmental level.
Puerto Rico is one of the most developed countries on the Caribbean. Its political and economical position was absolutely different in various historical periods of its existence. The quality of people’s life in the country depends on different factors which have the economical value. Openness of its economy for financing from the other countries, good institutions which create the powerful structure of country’s organization, the policies which work on the measuring of the corruption, the increase of the physical capital per worker and the strong agricultural systems are the factors which help to provide the citizens of the country with the high level of quality of life (Collins, Bosworth, & Soto-Class, 2006).
Main Body
Nevertheless, in spite of the factors, which improve people’s life in the country, there are still a lot of those which should be improved and those which make people’s life more difficult. Medical car is one of the most important facilities for citizens of every country. The problem with the medal care in Puerto Rico is one of the main factors which make the quality of life lower. The question about qualitative medical care stands very sharp for poor and socially marginalized communities. Government tries to make something for improvements (different social programs take place), but the problems make it impossible to consider Puerto Rico as the country with high level of quality of live (Reich et al, 2007).
Grosfoguel (2003) insists that providing two measures will make it possible to increase the quality of life of people, that is “the construction of monorail systems in the major cities and a train route throughout the whole island” (p. 72). Grosfoguel (2003) is also sure that these measures will help to improve people’s quality of life by “eradicating traffic jams, lowering pollution levels, and indirectly increasing salaries due to the decrease in car expenses” (p. 72). The implementation of these, from the first sight unimportant, factors may be a great contribution to the well being of citizens of Puerto Rico.
The problem of violence exists in every community, but Puerto Rico has never been the country with the high level of crimes committed. The statistics show that the status of Puerto Rico as the criminal country became to take up the highest position for the last several years and now occupies the fifth position of the violence rate in the world (Epstein, 2008). These activities make the quality of life worse, but Puerto Rico’s government makes all possible in order to make people’s life safety, health and wealthy.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Puerto Rico is the country with great potential and powerful political and economical potential, and the country comes in the direction of developing and improving this potential and to make people’s lives better in all spheres of life. The quality of people’s life in the country is the direct reflection of the well being of the whole country, so to be the powerful and developing country on the international arena, Puerto Rico should care about its citizens.
