“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 should be stopped. Discuss both views and give your opinion.”

The economic growth in a

country

is something crucial

due to

the number of negative

impacts

and positive

impacts

that

this

could generate. As we know, humanity should use natural resources in order to live.

Conversely

, if humanity does not use the water, the petroleum, hunting, inter alia, mankind would die. Hunger and

poverty

have become major social problems in each

country

on the planet Earth. Surely, every

country

has different ways to develop its economy.

Therefore

, the percentage of

poverty

and misery across the world could fluctuate. Some countries could have 10% of

poverty

and other nations could have more than 10%. On the first hand, people think that we have several negative

impacts

such

as the environmental damage generated by different types of industries, like, the oil and gas industry, plastic industry, chemical industry, inter alia.

For instance

, the company called Dakota Plastics, generated 2 thousand tons of CO2, which is extremely dangerous, not only for our planet but

also

for our quality of air. The previously mentioned is widely related to global warming.

Therefore

, economic growth must stop and create new alternatives to protect the environment.

On the other hand

, there are many people who think that the economic growth of a

country

, does not stop. They think, that the only way to reduce the

poverty

and hunger which traduces in misery is with money. Their principal point of view is linked to the number of countries that could benefit from the biggest enterprises in the world.

For example

, the company, Oil Crude American with their activity of extraction of petroleum liquid gas, generated in the year 2010, more than 2 million dollars in revenue, and 15% of that amount was destined to fight

poverty

in Africa. Obviously, these kinds of companies are completely aware of the

impacts

on the environment.

However

, they are investing a lot of money in order to face climate change. In conclusion, the points of view previously described are really important.

Nonetheless

, the economy can not stop.

Thus

, companies must create ways to fight global warming and

poverty

at the same time.
