TOPIC:人类对地球是DAMAGE多点还是MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE 多点?
As an old saying goes: every coin has two sides. Apparently, there is an element of truth about this proverb. Since being occupied by human beings, the Earth changes a lot. Considering the contribution human beings make to the earth, such as some meaningful inventions like electricity, Internet and so on, sums of people hold the opinion that it is our human beings that make the Earth a better place to live, Whereas the opponents think that human activities have made the planet worse and worse. Since these two opinions are far cry from each other and it is hard for me to sit on the fence, it seems that I am the supporter of the latter one. The reasons why I made this decision is as follows.
To begin with, in the ancient times, Earth endured the war and fight between people in different areas. Stepped into the stone age, the war and fight among people who struggle for food and land had given raise to plenty of suffers like the damage of the land, the change of the animal diversification and the decrease of the trees and grasses. Therefore, it seems that we humans did numbers of bad things on our planet.
And then, it is disturbing to say that we really did a bad job even by the modern standards. Stronger and stronger as our humans are, we never failed to harm our home, we polluted the air through the use of cars and the working of the factories, we broken the food chain by killing the rare animals and eating the bushmeat, we even did not realized that the resources have already been over-exploited. From this point, we cannot say we are good hosts to the Earth.
Finally, the Earth is now sacrificing for our future development. There is no deny that human beings have managed to invent more resources for surviving, however, we never catch a glimpse on what we did to the Earth. For instance, we succeed in finding the nuclear energy, meanwhile, sarcastically say, we also did a good job in leaving lots of damaging pollution on the earth.
From what has been discussed above, by supporting the latter idea, I do not mean to deny human's contributing to the Earth. However, since now, it seems that our negative effect on the Earth is far outweigh to the positive one. Although this phenomenon has caused wide public concern in many places of the world over the passed decades, it must be admitted that, the damaging we caused to the Earth is lasted since hundreds of years ago and what I am doing now is keeping my fingers crossed to pray that it is not that late for us to redeeming.
