A modern society has been vagrant on the decision that which one it has to choose between economy and environment. Both are desperately important especially thesedays because the central government does not consider much about local ecomony. In this matter of fact, the local government has to choose according to their situation. Therefore, when a company wants to build a large factory nearby, there must be elicited advantages and also disadvantages. In my case, I support to build a large factory under some circumstances. The following passages explain about the advantages and disadvantages about it, and also why I agree to it.
As currently shown from a lot of cities which support their economy by themselves, they usually have a large factory around them. For example, once suffered with poverty, Ulsan in Korea became the heart of the car manufacture. In old time, HD company decided to build a large factory to manufacture the cars, and it started persuading the people living in that town. At the first time, people tended to hesitate to accept the offer, but soon after they agreed with it, they had seen the economy booming with stimulation that company spewed out vigorously. Not only that, but a company contributed their profits to the society, once they have earned a vast amount of money by selling cars in domestic and also by exporting overseas. On the top of those benefits, people could also send their kids to that company after the kids graduated from a college. In that city, people usually say that if they didn't accept the offer by the company, they might still be living in a poor city. As a result of all those, the social facilities have gotten improved with that company contribution, people are satisfied with their environment and also happy with their choice.
On the other hand, one city had suffered big environmental problems after they decided to accept POS company to their city. The company usually manufactured a steel, so a large factory that the company built emited not only a lot of dust, but also din. Moreover, after a company settled in the city, the traffic problem become serious because the employees were driving from a distance. Also, housing price which brings social problems at the end had increased without reasons, the citizens might have thought that it is because of the company. Some time later, the city people couldn't resist with all those disadvantages even though they had good benefits in the city economy. So, they started to raise their voice to move them out. So, the company decided to compensate the advantages and also promised to resolve all those problems. Over time, the company is now very famous for environmental management, and also it handled all the problems mentioned above.
As described in two cases above, it can be drawn out from the fact that both points - environment and economy - can not be ignored for the development of the city. Also, as the latter example shows that if the company has a willingness to satisfy both points, it can do with well-planned strategy from the begining. As a result, there should be only an acceptance if a company shows us a good plan for building a large factory, and this will make the city prospersous. This is why I support the factory. |
