Good Speech “Advantages and disadvantages of tourism industry”

Tourism has emerged as one of the biggest industries of this decade, but its disadvantages cannot be overlooked. To what extent do you agree with this statement?

Due to the advancement in technology, the world has become a smaller place. People can easily travel anywhere across the world as good transportation facilities are available. This is one of the important reasons where tourism has developed as an industry. It is a valuable source of foreign exchange for the governments of countries like Switzerland, Mauritius, Malaysia and many others. It also helps flourish many other industries like food, hotel, handicraft etc.

Tourism provides us an opportunity to visit the places of historical value or places with scenic beauty, which was only the dream in the past. We get a chance to see the people culture and traditions of other parts of the country as well as the world. Government is benefited a lot through this industry, so it tries to boost it by organizing fairs, exhibitions, cultural events and so on.

On the other hand, this industry gives rise to a lot of problems too. Tourists spots become overcrowded. They are also getting commercialized. This destroys the natural beauty of that very place. Visitors or tourists litter the place with wrappers, fruit skins, cold drink cans etc., which spoils the environment. There are problems with traffic, which ultimately leads to pollution. It causes harm to the greenery of the place. Sometimes even the antisocial activities like smuggling and drug trafficking are promoted. The culture is also affected to certain extent. For example, when foreigners come to visit a certain place, the local people are influenced by them, especially the youngsters. Sometimes they develop an inferior view of their own culture and try to copy them.

I completely agree with the given statement. Government must try to maintain the tourists the tourist spot properly and preserve the natural beauty. Strict rules and regulations should be implemented against any kind of illegal activity.

good speech "Machine Work Versus Manual Work"

The use of machines has much increased in the last few decades causing a reduction in the amount of manual working. Do you favor this change?

Modern technology has equipped us with many machines, still a lot of people believe in manual working. Those who favor machines argue that machines turn our hard work into “smart work”. Both viewpoints hold a sound base.

Manual working allows people to use their physical and mental potential both. Losing this habit definitely affects their growth and ability to some extent. For creative work, manual working best satisfies one’s creative instincts to bring uniqueness. Often masterpieces are produced in this process. Let us take an example of traditional handicrafts of a place. The handicrafts prepared by the skillful artisans of that very place are valued just because they are original and no machine can bring that touch of originality. Manual working at homes by housewives and by children is often encouraged from the health point of view.

Machines undoubtedly are faster, more convenient and energy saving. Households and industries are much facilitated with machines. Personal use of machines fetches people more free time. Industrial use of machines, on the other hand, serves a big purpose of reducing manpower for work and increasing output. But here, if we talk about developing countries with a large population, it cuts employment for people. Insufficient knowledge of machine handling and operating is often detrimental to uneducated workers as they end up getting injuries , disabilities or sometimes death working with machines. Technical failures can also disturb the whole working system and lead to losses.

To end, we have to accept that machines are necessary for progress and development and it is time that we get accustomed to its use. However, in order to compensate for the bad effects, we still need to keep our manual skills intact to be put to use whenever needed.

While developed countries are more and more strengthening their economies by machine industries. Third world has to be strategic in catering to the employment needs of their population and balancing it with mechanization.

Good Speech “Effect of advancing technology on environment”

The inclination of human beings for more and more advancement in technology and modernization for the betterment of living standard is bound to tamper the environment and create threats to life on the earth. To what extent do you agree with this?

With ongoing industrialization and technological advancement, human beings are enjoying more and more facilities and comforts, but side by side, environmental damage has also occurred and will continue with this process. Pollution and some other threats have emerged as burning issues. Environmentalists have shown a serious concern over such issues and are demanding environmental conversation.

Air pollution is the most common form of pollution on the earth. The chimneys of factories give out smoke which contains poisonous gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. They mix with the air and deteriorate the environment. Vehicular smoke does the same. Human activities in the sector of industrial processes, transportation, agriculture etc. have increased the concentrations of greenhouse gases. This is causing global warming and leading and melting of ice bergs and rising of sea level. Even the ozone layer of atmosphere, which protects us from harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, is damaged. Industrial chemical wastes are discharged into rivers. They finally reach the sea and harm the aquatic life. Solid wastes are dumped on ground, which pollute the soil and underground water. The loud noise of big industrial machines causes noise pollution. People who are exposed to such loud noise for long term suffer from hearing impairment. Vehicular traffic also causes noise pollution.

Land and water pollution is also caused by the disposal of rubbish, particularly the non-biodegradable wastes like plastic, by individuals. Electricity-generating nuclear power plants also dump their nuclear waste deep in the land or oceans, which may cause life-threatening hazards. Massive deforestation is leading to soil erosion and loss of soil fertility and adverse climatic changes.

Thus, technological progress and environmental deterioration are going hand in hand. Man is now facing a big challenge of environmental conservation. He must take stringent steps to control the situation and save this beautiful planet.
