A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position.
I am from
Saint-Petersburg, Russia. I believe that building a large factory near my
community has advantages as well as disadvantages. In the following paragraphs
I will list basic benefits and losses that will be brought by a new factory.
For several reasons, I
think that a new factory will not be a good addition to my neighborhood. First
of all, factories often bring pollution. They are prone to contaminating the
local air and water. Second of all, factories make noise. Another important
aspect of building a new factory near by is that it will make the local traffic
heavy. As a result of this, the amount of traffic congestions will increase, as
well as contamination of the air. So, all these obviously will not make one's
life happier and healthier in my community.
From the other side, I
believe that a new factory will bring some advantages to my community. First of
all, it will bring new job opportunities. Many specialists will be required to
work there. Second of all, I think many local community facilities will have to
be renovated to obtain reliable supply of water and electricity. So, some old
pipes may be changed. Another important benefit of this is that the local roads
in order to manage the increasing traffic will be rebuilt and widened.
However, I do not
think that listed above benefits are worth all these troubles including water
contamination and the constant pollution of air. From my point of view all
factories must be built far from the people communities because they can be
really harmful for people's health.
Although the establishment of new factory promises growth and employment the choice of the location for the factory has to be reconsidered. The establishment of factory will have a profound impact on the local community, the health and the environment which have to be considered thoroughly before buiding a factory.
I concede that the presence of a large factory will boost the local economy and would result in the better infrastructure and amenities. After all we often find that the places where the factories are located are highly developed with good connectivity, electricity etc. However on the flip side there are certain considerations which cannot be ignored.
First of all a new factory will result in the new jobs. This will be undoubedly a very good advantage to the local community provided that the company will employ the people from the locality which may or may not always be the case. Also the large company will result in heavy traffic as a large
amount of raw material and labour are required. This will lead to
congestion and traffic sanrls.
Moreover the new factory would require a large amount of water for its operation which might even cause scarcity or shortage for the local community.
In addition the type of the emissions which come from the factory will
increase the pollution and may pose a threat to the local community.Also the ways in which the factory's waste is going to be disposed is of major concern. Many times we observe that the big factories try to dump their waste into the soil and nearby lakes which will affect the health of the community.
Hence the establishment of the new factory will prove to be fruitful only when it does not bring the pollution and ill health along with it.
