▶ Your Answer :
It is often said that since science
technology has been highly developed, most of problems could be resolved in our
generation. However, as far as I’m concerned, science cannot work out all
problems in the foreseeable future for two reasons: some issues need to
long-time care to solve them, and others are related to structure of society
which is nearly unchangeable even in the future.
First of all, environment
problems are difficult to solve in short term. As not for one day morning, this
problem become serious, we have difficult to solve it in a short time. This is
because there is limitation of nature’s self-purification function, and the
range of pollution to clear is too enormous. Also, global warming issue even
does not have effective ways to decrease and remove carbon dioxide. Furthermore,
this kind of problems cannot be resolved if there is no participation of all of
the people around the world. According to the survey conducted by Ministry of
Environment in 2010, only 42 percent of people are following campaigns helping
work out surrounding problems such as carpool, separating and sending out the recyclable waste. The responders who don’t join that
kind of moves are asked for the reason, and most of the people said that practicing
them is very troublesome and do not believe such practices could increase quality
of their life so much comparing to how inconvenient they are. The level of
consciousness on environment of people needs to be increased, and developing
this level tends to take long time. Therefore, I negatively expect this problem
to be solved in our generation.
Also, some
issues are based on our society’s structure. There is no doubt almost all
societies are following capitalism. Of course, if we are not awarded appropriately
with material, technologies and industry could not be improved so well.
However, because of this ideology, serious social problems are intensified such
as theft, trickery, murder. This is because people come to grow up in financially
different settings, and they could not have equal opportunities to develop
their ability. These fundamental differences make different results of
offspring’s fortune, and in the end, gap between the rich and the poor become
increasingly wide. In that the change of structure of society is so hard for
people live with using the structure, the issues could not be resolved in the
foreseeable future.
To summary, environment issues and problems related
to society’s structure tend to be difficult to be solved, since to be improved,
there are huge amount of things should be altered. Moreover, the things are closely
connected with people’s earnings, and therefore, there are significant problems
cannot be solved in our generation. |
