10) Nations should pass laws to preserve any remaining wilderness areas in their natural state, even if these areas could be developed for economic gain.
Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.
Since life is a miracle and all is dependent on each other in the nature, it is reasonable for nations to pass laws to preserve wilderness areas. Admittedly, it is also important to develop economy since economic development is also an important part in the social development. Thus it will be the best if the two can be balanced.
Life is equal, and we human being is just a part of natural chain, however, the original vulnerable ecological balance is being destroyed by our greedy and ignorance. Under the humans' power, the ecological balance that the nature organized for several billion years has been broken. More and more species are in danger to become extinct since people's many behaviors which have detrimental for species such as deforestation, land reclamation, killing of animals... And among these behaviors which accelerate for species' dieing out, the most direct factor should be destroying species' habits.
People's behavior of deforestation, make species in the forest losing their habit, thus those species tend to become extinct. For instance, as tropical rain forests are disappearing gradually, animals living there are also gradually dieing out. People's behavior of something about the ocean such as land reclamation, which have been destroying wetlands, bringing about detrimental effects for the ocean's ecological balance. The matter of oil spill in gulf of Mexico, Japan's killing a large number of whales ignoring the international community's strong condemning... All these lead more and more species in the ocean to become extinct.
From the industry revolution, although people have a powerful strength to change the nature for economic development, what the following are various forms of pollution such as air pollution, water pollution,solid pollution and so on. All these bring a large detrimental effect to the earth where people depend on to live. And people are revenged by the nature: air pollution has a bad effect on people's health; the climate's always changing make people uncomfortable; the trend of submerged land as the sea level has been rising threatens people who live near those lands to give up their homes...
Admittedly, people are for economic development to do those behaviors which have negative effect to the nature, for example, someone killing animals for making large profits via the animals' furs, and economic development is an indispensable part of social development since material is the foundation, therefore it seems understandable to develop economy at the cost of destroying the nature. However, the cost of destroying the nature is also expansive which may require our lives in return. Thus the best way is to make a balance between them. For some areas where species are so rich that they are less likely to become extinct in the short run, while economic development there is so demanding that people there even cannot meet their basic need to eat, we can pay more attention to develop the economy other than preserving some wilderness areas where are not so important right now.
In conclusion, to some extent, it is reasonable for nations to pass laws to preserve wilderness areas, since it is because not only that people should not deprive any species' right to life, but people's life also depend on this vulnerable ecological balance. However, sometimes for urgent economic development, it is necessary to pay the cost of destroying the nature. And the best way is to make a balance between them, thus making the development be sustainable. |
