Some people say that economic growth is the only way to end hunger and poverty, while others say that economic growth is damaging the environment so it must be stopped. Discuss both view and give your opinion.

In the contemporary world, economic development is obviously one of the top priorities of any government across the globe in reducing

poverty

. While economic progress is of course essential, some people believe that economic

growth

might exert negative effects on the

environment

and should be ceased. From my perspectives, I believe that

environment

reservation is as important as economic

growth

. In the one hand

,

Accept space

,

it can not be deniable that a better economy could put an end to

poverty

and hunger.

Firstly

, the developed economy creates more job opportunities that allow each citizen to easily seek for stable career and have a decent income.

As a result

, they can easily get themselves out of the

poverty

.

Moreover

, if many businesses and enterprises are successful, they will in turn greatly contribute to the nation's budget through the tax system.

This

fund will

consequently

be allocated for building houses, improving educational quality or doing charity.

On the other hand

, there are countless example to support the opposing view that economic

growth

results in environmental destruction. To be more specific, when a country focuses on developing their economy, it

also

means that there are more and more factories built in that country.

This

would lead to high levels of Co2 and exhaust fumes in the atmosphere.

In addition

to that due to the negative effect of these emissions, mankind is now facing a high risk of cancer

such

as skin cancer by exposing directly to UV rays from the sun because ozone depletion. In the

second

place, economic

growth

correlates with the

overconsumption

of many natural resources.

For example

, the present economic man has forgotten the

environment

and eco-logical significance of natural vegetations mainly forests and has destroyed the forest rapidly.

This

gives birth to several problems encompassing environmental degradation through accelerated rate of soil erosion, floods as well as droughts. Rapid rate of industrialization

also

increased industrial output

such

chemical waste which pollute water, soil and

thus

degrade the

environment

. In conclusion,

although

economic

growth

is undeniably an essential way to eradicate

poverty

, I would strongly believe that apart from focusing on economic development, the government should give more priority to environmental concern in the sense that it can enhance the quality of life.
