Writing 11[2011.3.9] 这篇文章写得别别扭扭,似乎又跑了,没提社会价值流失的问题. 唉,老是不得其法.
Most countries want to improve standard of living through economic development, however, others think social value is lost as a result. Do you think the advantages of economic development outweigh the disadvantages?
Recently, it is a highly contentious issue that whether the merits of the development of the economy outnumber the drawbacks. Some people advocate that the economic development contributes to the improvement of living standard, while others insist that people are losing their social values. In my opinion, although the economic development can bring a number of unfavorable aspects, its advantages still outweigh its demerits.
The human society benefits a great deal from the development of the economy. First of all, with the development of the economy, people have more opportunities to do what they want to do. Now, since the salary of working class is certainly higher than before, people have enough money to have a trip or buy things they cannot afford before. Moreover, as having been generally acknowledged, good quality facilities also can be provided by the government or companies due to the economic development. The government can impose more tax revenue, since companies make more profits than before as a result that individuals consume more products than before. Finally, economic development also can increase the opportunity of employment. It, therefore, can trigger a virtuous circle.
Admittedly, the undesirable perspectives cannot be ignored. To begin with, a major impact is the deterioration of the ecosystem. As a result of fast economic development, the forest was destroyed and the farmland was also demolished seriously. It also results in the extinction of some species of animals. In the second place, the problem of pollution is also serious. It is even difficult to breathe in some cities which are suffering from serious pollution. And we also lack clean fresh water to drink as a result that most of fresh water are polluted.
In conclusion, although the human society are facing huge challenge on the bad consequence of developing their economy fast, we have the ability to resolve most of those problems. Because economic development promotes the development of technology, which can help us to improves the standard of living.
Therefore I insist that the advantages of economic development outweigh the drawbacks.
