▶ Your Answer :
There is an argument whether governments
should have more focus on the environment than health issues. Some people say
that health issues are more supported by government than the environment
issues. My view, however, is that governments should more concentrate on the
environment problem than health issues for the two reasons. First, environment
problems are cannot be dealt with individual person, unlike the health issues.
Second, paying more attention to environment problems help to solve health
issues.
To begin with, governments should focus on
the environment problems which would not be possible under the individual
attentions. In general, environmental issues are too big to be solved by
individual person. As an example, it has been a pressing issue how to cope with
the warming planet. Carbon emissions from growing numbers of cars and power
plants are accountable for global warming. For solving above issue,
governments' policy to regulate the behavior of persons or companies is
necessary. Individual person cannot affect reducing carbon emissions more
effectively as much as governments' impact.
Second, more focusing the environmental
issues helps to solve health issues. Because governments have lots of social
problems and limited resources, they should confine the degree of support to
the social problems according to the importance of them. Focusing the social
issue like environment problem which also help to solve health issues is more
effective for governments than just focusing the health issues. As an example,
a study conducted in Harvard University shows that the rate of improvement of
health issues while governments by more focus on environmental issues is same
as that while governments more focus on health issues. This study shows that
government can deal with both environment and health issues effectively by focusing
the environment problems.
To sum up, I believe that it is much better
for government to concentrate on environmental issues than health issues
because the problem cannot be dealt with individual persons and focusing the environmental
problems also help to solve health issues finally. |
