Hey guys, if anybody could provide some feedback for these two essays that'd be greatly appreciated!! The topics are attached, and if you would like to share what your answer to these topics would be, that'd be great!
Thanks!!
ANALYSIS OF ISSUE
It is the nature of a society to grow economically. Allowing for free trade facilitates the growth of a society's economy, thereby allowing the society itself to grow. However there is a widespread fear among environmentalists that this economic growth will be detrimental to the society. This fear, while rooting from genuine concern for the environment, can often be misplaced. In the case of a society in which poverty and poor economic conditions exist, it is more important to increase economic growth through free trade than to protect the environment at the risk of said growth.
Firstly, a society's priorities lie with ensuring the safe and secure living conditions of its people. In an underdeveloped society where poverty is rampant, the economic growth that will increase job opportunities is critical. Higher levels of employment will produce more resources, allowing for greater revenues, which can be fed back towards further improving the general living conditions.
Secondly, once these revenues are created and living conditions are improved, society can turn its attention to the environment. If the economy is strong, then there will be greater resources available to direct towards the protection of the environment. This includes reducing pollution, conserving natural resources, and producing more efficient methods of energy production.
In conclusion, it is of greater importance to facilitate economic growth resulting from free trade in a society that is suffering poor economic conditions before focusing on protecting the environment. The most effective way to meet the goals of economic growth without irreparable harm to the environment is to develop society responsibly. Natural resources should not be wasted, and methods of efficient energy production should be used whenever possible.
ANALYSIS OF AN ARGUMENT
Installing electronic high-speed scanning devices at the entrances and exits of toll roads can help to eliminate the need for toll booths. This would result in reduced delays at the tolls, thereby reducing problems such as traffic build-ups. However there are some flaws with the method by which this can be accomplished.
First, if automobiles have scanner-sensitive license plates similar to the bar codes on consumer packaged products, the lasers on the scanners would need to "see" the license plates. However it is possible that the license plate could be covered. In such a situation, the car owner would not be charged, and furthermore this may encourage others to intentionally block their license plates to avoid toll charges. An appropriate response to this would be to invest in a signal technology similar to a wireless internet signal specific to each automobile, thereby eliminating any obstacles to identify the vehicle.
Second, some toll roads have other restrictions, such as weight limits. Some vehicles, such as trucks, may be carrying greater weight than the roads can handle without being damaged. In response to this, there should be sensors in the road to measure a vehicle's weight. If the weight is beyond the allowed maximum, the driver could be fined.
In conclusion, while the installation of electronic high-speed scanning devices can eliminate the need for toll roads, all the responsibilities of the toll road operators must be addressed and accounted for by the new technology. Only when these are incorporated can the need for toll booths be eliminated.
