Argument: economic growth vs global warming

People have been arguing about the impact of economic growth which is the increasing amount of greenhouse gases that leads to a rise in the rate of global warming.

No doubt that the global economic growth is a good thing especially when the big companies such as Mcdonald’s and Nike are providing job opportunities for those who need these jobs and it decreases the rate of idleness in poor countries such as India and the Philippines where they build their huge factories . In countries like India there are many married men in the countryside far away from the civilization who are working very hard every day just to provide for their family’s needs. For those men whose main aim in life is providing the best life to their family they are thankful to these companies.

On the other hand, many scientists believe that climate change is a threat to the future of the planet and if the economic growth is still increasing it will increase the amount of harmful gases such as greenhouse gases which are the main cause of global warming so the rate of greenhouse gases will be very high in India because it has many big factories and if the rate is still going up India will suffer more than any other country from global warming as the scientists are saying.

In conclusion, economic growth is a good thing for poor countries but it’s also causing a huge problem which is global warming. In my opinion I would say that economic growth will not lead to the destruction of our planet.

Population growth

The graph shows population growth in richer and poorer countries between 1750 and 2150. Overall the growth in poorer countries has increased sharply.

The biggest increase in growth in rich countries was in 2000 at about one billion and then it will remain constant with perhaps a little decrease according to the estimates from the UN and the Population Reference Bureau. According to the graph the most significant increase was in less developed countries in 2000 at about 6.1 billion and according to the estimates it will still increase and it will reach ten billion in 2150.

In conclusion, according to the estimates from the UN and the Population Reference Bureau the growth in poorer countries is more than in rich countries and that may be because of the pollution in rich countries which comes from factories and cars and affects people’s health.

Mobile phones and driving

People have been arguing about using mobile phones while driving: whether it should be banned or not. In my opinion I think using mobile phones while driving is dangerous, but it is necessary sometimes.

First I will begin with the arguments which are against the statement. The main argument is that mobile phones have become an important part of your lives especially here in the UAE. Another argument is that the businessmen need their mobile phones all the time and if they can’t use their phones deals will drop. Yet another argument is that mobile phones could help the drivers when they have a problem in their cars especially for old people and women.

There are also a number of arguments that support the statement. The main argument is that using mobile phones while driving is very dangerous and it could lead to serious accidents and that is because using mobile phones distracts your attention from the road and reduces your reaction’s speed. Another argument is that sometimes when the phones ring while driving could scare you and this could cause an accident. Recent research has shown that the death rate of car accidents in the UAE is very high and using mobile phones while driving is one of the reasons. We should put a strict law for using mobile phones while driving especially when people don’t care.

In conclusion, I think the roads would be safer if mobile phones were banned. However, mobile phones should be used only if it’s an emergency.
