几天没写觉得又有点不在状态了,写得应该很烂……
Some people believe that society should try to save every plant and animal species, despite the expense to humans in effort, time, and financial well-being. Others believe that society need not make extraordinary efforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangered species.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
-------------------------------------
The problem that whether the society should spend many resources to save rare plant or animal species is a controversial one. Someone claims that the society should do its best to save them without considering the cost, while the others believe that it is not necessary to spend resources to save them. In my point of view, both of two statements are reasonable under some specific circumstances after considering the reason of their extinction and their value to human beings.
Society is responsible to spend many resources to save the species if their extinction is the result of nature damage led by human being’s activity. The protection to these species is a compensation of the damage to the environment, which is also benefit to human beings ourselves. Wo-long natural protecting zone, an area being protected from all human’s damage by Chinese government, is a good example. The destruction of valuable species’ habitats dues to the economic development and the exploiting to nature of China. In order to protect these species, Chinese government found the Wo-long natural protecting zone. Though much expense is cost to maintain this zone every year, many rare species are successfully saved there. People can visit this zone to see the beauty of nature which disappeared in modern city, and biology research on these species is also benefit by it. In this aspect, it is wise to found this zone to protect such species.
One the other hand, when the extinction of species dues to their inadaptability to nature, people should consider whether it is valuable for society to cost much to save it. For instances, panda is a kind of animal lived in ancient earth whose rarity is the outgrowth of being eliminated by nature. But it only appears in China, which is treated by government as the treasure of China. In order to show our friendship, sometimes Chinese government would give a panda to foreign countries as a present. It has a special meaning to Chinese, so government treats then well, despite the cost is very much.
In contrast, if the superseded animals prove little value to society, it may be a good choice that we didn’t take much effort to save them. According to a research, many species of animals and plants die out every day because of their inadaptability. But few of us think it as an emergency event to protect these species. It’s because we don’t know whether they would be benefit to us if they were saved. Due to the limitation of resources, we prefer spending them on solving more realistic problem to that on a field of few payoffs. In this case, don’t spend much on these species is good for society.
To sum up, whether we should save rare species is a complicated problem without general answers. We should consider the affect and payoff before deciding whether to save them or not. |
