These days, every country want to have a growing
economy

as it is believed by some persons to as the only way to solve world
poverty

.
However

, others have the view that economic growth is causing us more harm than good as it destroys the environment. In
this
Linking Words
essay, I will discuss both views and give my opinion on
this
Linking Words
matter.
Firstly
Linking Words
, it has been observed that poor nations are countries with a sick
economy
Use synonyms
. When the
economy
Use synonyms
is not doing well, it results in a lack of money in circulation. There will be a limited amount of jobs which will
consequently
Linking Words
lead to
poverty
Use synonyms
and death.
For example
Linking Words
, the main reason why people emigrate from
third
Linking Words
world countries to the so-called developed countries is that they want a better life for themselves and their families. They want a life where there will always be enough money to put food on the table and an opportunity to achieve their dreams.
This
Linking Words
can only happen in a country with a booming
economy
Use synonyms
.
Secondly
Linking Words
, economies are growing at the expense of the environment. When economic growth is calculated, the resources that are taken from nature and how fast nature will regenerate them are not usually put into perspective. But the reality is that we are not producing goods in a sustainable way.
For instance
Linking Words
, how long will it take the planet earth to replace the trees, crude oil, gold, coal etc. we take from her?
In addition
Linking Words
, economic growth will
also
Linking Words
lead to the production of greenhouse gases and
consequently
Linking Words
global warming. In conclusion, we need a thriving
economy
Use synonyms
to fight the war against
poverty
Use synonyms
but at the current rate of consuming the resources of the earth, it will no longer be able to meet up with our demand. My view is that we need to fight
poverty
Use synonyms
by investing in our
economy
Use synonyms
in a more sustainable way. If
this
Linking Words
is not done, we will either die of hunger or of our environment.
