Economic growth vs Enviromental protection

World-wide economical growth has a huge impact on our environment. In this essay I will discuss whether our main concern should be worldwide money-making or decreasing the rate of global warming.

It’s clear that the economies are expanding for many reasons. Firstly for the money so that people get a chance to survive; in other words the employment opportunities are providing a better life for our children. Secondly, to improve the living standards. Not only that, also the growth in development in the education and technology.

On the other hand this economic growth has a huge impact on our environment. Firstly, the carbon dioxide, which is mainly the result of the manufacturing as well as transportation. In addition it causes a rise in the global temperature. Secondly, it affects the sea level which is due to melting the ice because of increasing the temperature as I have mentioned. Moreover, the rise of sea level will cause floods. Thirdly, rising temperature has led to drought, for example that which is happening in Somalia.

In conclusion, I would say that both sides have important points. But in my opinion I totally agree with economic growth. Because, it’s highly recommended for each family to raise their living standard. That is to include better education and medical, care but the globalization should do the best to reduce these impacts on our environment, to have a great economic future with safe lives.

World population line graph



The line chart demonstrates the growth of population in rich and poor countries world-wide between 1750 and 2150 in billions. In fact it’s not real but estimates by the UN and the Population Reference Bureau.


As can be seen, the figure of population is increasing slightly in the more developed countries; whereas the poor countries are rising dramatically from 1950 to 2150. According to the chart there was a gradual increase in both richer and poorer countries from 1750 to 1950 but the less developed countries almost tripled in population to approximately one billion. From 1950 to 2001 there was a sharp increase from about 2 billion to 6.1 billion.

In conclusion, the main trend will be for richer countries to remain constant but for less developed counties to rise dramatically. In my opinion I would say that I totally agree with this estimation graph.

Mobile phone and driving



Today people never leave their home without carrying a mobile phone. There is no doubt of its importance, whereas it has been noticed many people do use their mobile phone while driving the car which is unsafe. In this essay I will argue about banning the mobile phone while driving.

In fact, every argument has two sides whether agreeing or disagreeing. People tend to use a mobile phone all the time everywhere for all circumstances, for instance, emergency cases, business, and connecting people. Today the mobile phone also could be used in the car as a GPS; it stands for Global Positioning System which supplies navigation for your destination. In addition to that most of new cars are equipped with a Bluetooth System, which is an option for using a hands-free phone safely while driving.

On the other hand, it has been proved that using a mobile phone while driving reduces the concentration of being alert to the road which is a great risk to your life and others. There are a huge number of accidents that accrued due to using a mobile phone while driving, which includes holding the phone and using the head-set. The driver must park safely for the duration of holding the mobile phone to avoid hazard.


In fact, it’s possible to multi tasking but not when in danger. In my opinion, I totally agree that using a mobile phone should be banned, although everyone has the right to use it but not while driving because it’s obviously unsafe. I believe that one of the major causes of accidents is using a mobile phone while driving.
