00waterh: 金币+16, ESEPI+1, on one hand we benefits a lot from technological progress, on the other hand, the environment suffer a lot from the pollution which development bring in. 2013-12-27 12:48:07
Over the past century, there has been rapid progress in different aspects of lives, but opinions are divided as to whether this trend will continue. It is worth discussing what we have achieved and what we can do to make the world a better place to live. We have made huge strides in many industries and reaped benefits of these developments. One example is that with medical advances, patients' suffering can be alleviated efficiently today, even if they suffer from some diseases which were incurable a century ago. As a result, human lifespan has been extended greatly and quality of life has been improved. Another significant change is the advent of information technology, by which people have easy access to information and can broaden their knowledge. This paves the way for disseminating information, which is essential to technical innovation across the globe. This technological development is particularly important for those who live in remote areas and could not gather information easily due to geographic isolation.
Despite the achievement we have made in medicine and internet, what worries us is that the environment is deteriorating. Many of the habitats have been destroyed by pollution and wildlife is endangered. The government should enforce laws to restrict behaviour that may cause environmental problems, making more people use resources sustainably. Another problem is that the uneven distribution of social resources and the widening digital divide have worsened income disparity. This has caused some people's resentment against society and led to social instability, which can hinder social progress.
To summarise, I think that we should pay attention to environmental problems and the rich-poor gap, while we are proud of what we have achieved in the medical field and information technology. |
