Persuasive Essay On ?gambling” Essay, Research Paper

Although many people believe that gambling is good clean fun, I believe that gambling will

cost society more than it would benefit.

The first reason that society will be hurt from gambling is that even though some

casinos create thousands of jobs, there are some downfalls to that. For example the jobs

used for casinos have taken away other jobs from other areas of the economy. And the

jobs that casinos do provide are low paying jobs workers generally do not move up the

corporate ladder.

Another reason that society will be hurt from gambling is that most people who do

gamble are the main ones who cannot afford to gamble. And it is these people who gamble

so that they can ?strike it rich? and become millionaires without proper education, and

hardwork. Businesses profit a great deal on the poor?s dream, which is like a tax on a poor

person?s dreams.

What I believe is the deadliest of all reasons that society will be hurt from gambling

is that where there is gambling, there is bound to be crime. I recently saw a movie where

there two owners of two casinos that were in some kind of casino Mafia. As if that

weren?t bad enough there was crime going on everywhere in the casino. this is very similar

to real life because there have always been reports of crimes that tourists themselves have

faced. One tourists I met was robbed in broad daylight. Another tourist?s belongings were

stolen from their own room by the maids that were supposed to clean his room. If

gambling is so fun, then why is there so much crime where gambling is legal?

Yet another problem with gambling is that many people develop a gambling

problem. This problem has been compared to alcoholism. In conclusion society will be

hurt more than it will benefit it by gambling. So my advice is don?t ever gamble, nothing

good has ever come from it.
