Some people support the development in agriculture such as factory farming and creations of new types of fruits and vegetables while others oppose this view. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
Recently,there has been arisen a heated debate over whether factory farming should be encouraged.Some people are in favor of the fast-developing Industrial Farming.While others are strongly against these novelty types of farming including new pattern of fruits and vegetables.Before presenting my view,I will intend to discuss both sides of the arguement.
The supporters of this trend have generally focused on three arguements.The first is that farming factory can maxmum profits,thereby generating tax revenue to the country.Unfortunately, factory farming is more productive and efficient in comparison with family farming .Furthermore,in terms of constumer, they can purchase the identical meat and other agricultrual products a great deal cheaper than ever before ,since factory farming have fulfilled the goal of maxmuming product scale as well as categories.Lastly, according to many exclusive interview on workers in the"Vegetaration workshop",which have bee publicized by The Times,it seems that they are more contented with their working environment in the spacious factory than their field work before.
The sceptisits,however,are strongly against this pattern of agriculture.From their perspectives,Factory Farming should be blamed for the unsecurity of food.Obviously,the explosion of Bird Flu in 2008 has been associated with the development of Industrial Farming.Secondly, is is devastating traditional agriculture and resulting in isolation of time-honored Household Farming Communities.The third and not the least reason is not workers in the"agricultrual factory" are inhumane with stocks such as pigs and chickens there,as a consequence,animal rights have been violated.
In the final analysis,both the two arguements have sound foundations.But if I am forced to make a option,I am no hestitate to choose the latter one. In my opinion,we should not be optimistic blindly to the sweeping trend of Factory Farming.Only when it is been developed appropriately can we enjoy the convient and secure of food.
Task1 :
The graph illustrates how the consumption of various items in 5 nations varied in 2002.As we can see from the chart,in terms of food,drinks and tabacco,Turkey's consumer expenditure was 32.14% which was obviously higher than other 4 countries.By contrast,the data of Sweden was merely 15.77%,which was half the same as Turkey.
As for clothing and footwear,It is evident that they are less popular than food,drinks and tobacco around all these 5 nations,with the figure fluated between 5.40% and 9.00% depends on different countries.In the meanwhile,Italy took the first place in the consumption of clothing and footwear,followed by Turkey with 6.63% .Similar to food,drinks and tobacco consumption,people in Sweden accounted for the least proportion of consumer spending on clothing and footwear.
As it can also be seen from the table,individuals in all these five Europeans nations the least money on leisure and education,compared with the other two fields.Unfortunately,the figure was only 4.35% for the Top.1,Turkey,of this section,as for Spain,that wa 1.98%,which was the lowest proportion.
To summarize,this table below reveals three distinctive indicators of national consumption. |
