Some people claim that a nation's government should preserve its wilderness areas in their natural state. Others argue that these areas should be developed for potential economic gain.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligned with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
Wilderness areas is the ecological environment which untouched by human beings. Conservationist Henry David Thoreau who first held the view that keeping the entire world in the wilderness and build up wilderness park. He also though that the environment has its own life and character. "The ground under my feet is not the material which don't have life and unfeeling but a body full of some spirit. It is organic and moving by the influence of spirit" Thoreau said.
It is true that natural is connecting with our human beings' spirit. We can feel not only the beauty in the natural but also it can cultivate our morals. The natural is the root of the spirit and the origin of the life. It is independent of every single thing. And our human beings are just an organic part of natural. But the fact is our human beings are sparing no effort to destroy it. From the time that humans started to use fire, people are cutting down the tress and burning down the forest. Instead, they are growing rice and vegetables. After the industrial revolution, to satisfy people's desire for getting natural resource, more and more mine fields, oil wells, pipelines and roads appeared, which hurt the earth too much. The natural environment also were getting hurt and even can not recover by itself. But the people are not stop the pace to hurt it, there are so many buildings being build everyday in every corner on the earth.
Air, water and soil have been polluted, many kinds of animals have extinct. We are facing the great danger, but our human beings are not even realize it at all. As the consequence, we are breathing the dirty air every day, drinking the water being purified by various chemical. Wilderness areas can keep the blue sky away from being polluted also can protect the soil from being overrun. Moreover, wilderness areas can attract visitors, who wants to far away from the noise and traffic for a while. For this reason, protecting wilderness areas plays an important role in economy. The resource and the original ecological protection movement date back to the late 19th century to the early 20th century in United States. It is the production to response to the environment issue result from the development of economy.
However, preserve the wilderness areas sometimes restrict the exploiting of resource and the using of land. As a result, some area's development of economy behind other's. It is not good for improving citizen's quality of life, which can also lead to some nations import resource from other country. The price for preserve native wilderness areas is to destroy other's, so it is not good solution to protect wilderness areas from being destroy.
So the best way to solve all these problem is protecting such wilderness areas from being hurt and in the meantime using the advantages of these areas to promote the development of economy. We should have a long-term vision so that all the issues would be solved. If we want to use the natural resource so the critical thing is protecting the wilderness areas from being hurt. Under this circumstance, can we using this resources to develop nation economy. So I agree that government have responsibility to preserve its wilderness areas in their nation states, only in this way can we have more opportunities to promote nation's economy. |
