▶ Your Answer : As times goes on, there were lots of types of transportations on our society, and as those transportations were developed, every aspects of our society have changed drastically. Personally, I believe car is the transportation that affected out society the most. I feel this way for two reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
To begin with, cars were the transportation that appeared the most on our society. Because airplanes were still recognized as the transportation that is highly expensive, there are many people who haven't riden a airplane through their life, and also there are very few people that has their personal aircrafts. However, cars are opposite. Almost every people has a experience to ride a car, regardless of type of society, and there are many types of leisures that is related to cars, such as Formula 1. According to the research that was conducted by World statistics organization, 95% of all the adults in the world have an experience to ride a car, at least once. In contrast, only 30% of people have rode airplane on their entire life. From the study, we can see the major difference between the percentage of people that have riden a car and a airplane. It is obvious that the transportation that appears more, impacts more on our society.
On top of that, Cars are more responsible to the damage on environment. The CO2 is a gas that is produced by the burning fuel to operate the car, and pollutes the air and environment in the form of acid rain and the hole in ozone layer. Especially, the destruction of ozone layer is a major cause for the increasing temperature of Earth. Subsequently, high temperature is causing land desertification, and melting of the polar ice. Due to these effects, countries are changing their policies and making a campaign or convention between the countries. Additionally, the individuals of entire worldwide are making their efforts to reduce emission of CO2, for example, by riding a bike or public transportation. According to the study by World health organization, if the cars weren't invented until present time, the development of global warming would be postponed for 70 years. As this sentences says it, cars are impacting and affecting our society in a great amount. In conclusion, I have an opinion that cars have made a greater impact on society than airplanes for these two reasons. |
