A huge factory near my community may have various advantage and disadvantages. Whereas I do not deny it can give my community several benifits mainly in ecomony, I believe the disadvantages are more significant in the long-term perspective.
It is undeniable that a factory can enforce the enomony of my community. The factory whatever it produces, makes a certain amount of money and it will pay a tax to my community. Also, the factory needs workers and community members will have more job opportunities. Moreover, building a factory entails development of related industires and this can result in even more financial benefit and job openings. Eventuallly, this economical activities can incrase the vigor and activity of the community and the community can become bigger city.
In contrast to these advantages, the factory can produce considerable problems. First of all, the factory can destroy the environment. Druing constructing the plant, forest and mountains can be damaged and the ecosystem will be interrupted. And after the plant starts to make products, it also makes pollutions near my community. In addition, the factory can destroy the tradition of my community. The company might choose my community to build a factory for financial reasons, which is a principle of most companies and I do not want to blam it. However, at the same time, I do not believe the company considered the traits of my community previously like the history or tradition of my community is suitable for the factory. Therefore, it is obvious the factory will influence and destroy the tradition of my community and change the characteristics. It is a big problem of this globalized world that each local community lost its own features.
In conclusion, eventhough the factory can grant several economical benefits in the short-term perspective, I strongly beleive that it will destroy the environment and the tradition of my communiy, which needs enormous time and effort to reconstruct them or we will never restore it again. |
