Economy will always have the upperhand over environmental conservation. @ 1:43 AM
This post will be for the English Ace Assesment.This was the question my class debated over in the current affairs discussion on Friday.As I was not the panelist,I would now like to express my views if Economy would really have the upper hand in real life.
Firstly,I would like to state that economy is not really everything.Without all those greenery out there,who would come and visit our country?As a result,our economy will surely drop.However,in the other way,if we do not hove a good economy,how are we supposed to sustain our environment?Thus,I feel that both are inter-dependent on each other.I would also like to comment on a statement that the Businessman said.
"Once the IR(integrated resort)is built,our economy will surely be boost and there will not be the need to care of the environment."
I would like to say that as the world is facing an economy crisis now,lesser people would want to spend their money on resorts and it will not surely boost our economy.Secondly,I would like to state that the government is actually using our money(the taxpayers')to build the resort,not using its own money.Thirdly,due to the economy crisis,people might want to gamble in an attempt to strike a fortune but this will result in the bankruptcy of more people!This will then have a bad image on our environment with beggars roaming everywhere!
What are your views?Do not hesitate to write it on the tag board.Thanks!
