7.16 ENVIRONMENT
1. Forests are the lungs of the earth. Destruction of the world’s forests
amounts to the death of the world as we currently know it. To what
extent do you agree or disagree?
2. People’s characters are influenced by their environment rather than
by their genes. Do you agree or disagree?
3. To what extent should economic planning be influenced by the need
for environmental conservation? Give reasons for your answer.
4. Because most of the population in developing countries do not have
sufficient food to eat or places to stay, it is immaterial to talk about
saving forests as a gesture in protecting our environment. The aim
should be to utilize the land for maximum food production and making
homes available to the homeless. State your opinion on this matter.
5. Damage to the environment is an inevitable consequence of
worldwide improvements in the standard of living of people. Discuss
with examples.
6. The rising levels of congestion and air pollution found in most of the
world’s cities can be attributed directly to the rapidly increasing
number of private cars in use. In order to reverse this decline in the
quality of life in cities, attempts must be made to encourage people to
use their cars less and public transportation more. Discuss possible
ways to encourage the use of public transportation.
7. Nowadays, environmental problems are too big to be managed by
individual persons or individual countries. In other words, it is an
international problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
7.17 FAMILY

---

1. “Fundamental changes are taking place in the structure and habits of
Asian families.” Do you think this statement is true, and if so, do you
think it is beneficial or detrimental to family members?
2. In today’s competitive world, many families find it necessary for both
parents to go out to work. While some say the children in these
families benefit from the additional income, others feel they lack
support because of their parents’ absence. Discuss and give your
opinion.
3. In your opinion, should governments intervene in the rights of the
individual with regard to family planning?
