Economic Growth & Environment Protection

Population growth is increasing daily all over the world and this will lead to economic increase. Economic growth means more harmful gases that affect our environment negatively in the future.

In most cases economic growth is good for a lot of people. Without doubt there are too many people living in remote areas and they hope to get opportunities to work and live in the cities. Economic growth will help those people to achieve their goals. They will find better paid-jobs so they can raise their standard of living. Nowadays a lot of children are growing up without education or health care. We hope that globalization can help those children to get a better life. In addition, economic growth will develop a lot of undeveloped countries and will raise civilization.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of disadvantages of this growth. Many scientists are warning that global warming will cause a real threat to our environment. Global warming is one of economic growth’s consequences. The most growing country is China and after that comes India. These two countries together have populations of two billion approximately. They have seen a massive economic growth in recent years. This growth alone will be enough to eliminate the environment. It is very difficult to control this growth since it began.

In conclusion, this seems to be a difficult problem facing our contemporary world. There is great interest in the economic growth and we can’t deny it, but it constitutes a real threat to the environment so we must think in a good way to stand in the face of this growth.

Population growth from 1750 to 2150

Population growth is increasing annually especially in the poor countries. The chart shows population growth in richer and poorer countries over 400 years from 1750 to 2150.

As we see the total world population was less than 1 billion in 1750. In addition, the population in the less developed countries was 3 or 4 times greater than in more developed countries. It increased slightly from 1750 to 1950 for both categories. By the year 2000 it increased sharply to 6.1 billion, mostly in less developed countries while it stayed at the same rate for more developed countries. The prediction is that by the year 2150 the population will increase to over 10 billion. The increase will be in less developed countries, in contrast to more developed countries where it will stay the same and maybe fall down a little bit.

In conclusion, it is estimated that the total world population will increase almost twofold to what we are now especially for less developed countries by the year 2150.

Should using mobile phones while driving be banned?

As we know, using a mobile phone while driving is a distractive thing. It is very difficult to focus on two things at the same time. This will reduce the speed of response for the driver.

Even using a mobile phone while driving is a dangerous thing; you should have one in your car for the emergency cases. For example, it is dangerous to drive alone at night so you should have a mobile to summon help from police in an emergency. Also if you are driving a long way to remote areas where there are no lights in the roads or a desert for example you may need help if your car breaks down.
Even though I said the above things, there is no real reason for using a mobile phone while you are driving because of course you will find a safe place to stop and answer your phone. Some drivers think that using hands-free is less distraction. In fact, using hands-free does not reduce the level of distraction because driving requires a lot of concentration. Most countries have banned using a mobile phone while driving and they give those fines because it has become a major problem worldwide. In the UAE, it is not allowed to use a mobile phone while you are driving in all cases.

In conclusion, a lot of research shows that using a mobile phone while driving is a cause of accidents. However, it is very important to have a mobile phone in your car but it is not necessary to use it except in emergency cases.
