OPINION ESSAY: We have almost learnt to respect our world, do you agree?


As everyone knows, this world is full of problems, like pollution, poverty, global warming, and many more. And all this problems are very serious; they unbalance and destroy the world drastically. During the years, people have become aware of all these problems, but being aware is not enough. There must be a solution.

First of all, I think I have to say that in the last years people have realized of what is happening, and they have proposed measures to reduce it. That’s a good thing because it shows that we can stop it.

But on the other hand, I think there is a bigger problem: apathy. People are unable to cooperate in resolving all these problems, we know the solution but we don't do it. Moreover, we're too selfish and we only care about us, even though we know we're harming future generations, or creating a giant inequality in the world.

We tend to think that if our situation is good, the rest doesn't mind, and everything that we do, we do it because it benefit us, not at all the people. We should think a little for everyone and not only for ourselves.

In conclusion, I think that maybe we've learned a little more to respect our world, but we also damage it. Every step we do forward implies two steps back.
