I support the idea that a factory to be built near our community. I list my
reasons as follows.
Firstly, a new factory near our community helps to improve the living standard
of people in our community. The factory will employ a lot of workers. As a
consequence, the unemployment rate will drop significantly. Many people in
our community will find a job in the factory. As people's income increases, they
will be able to spend more money on their food, clothing and leisure, and the
quality of life will be increased.
Secondly, a new factory will bring prosperity to our community. The tax
collected from a factory is an important source of revenue for our town. As
people have higher income, income tax collected will also be increased. With
the increased amount of tax dollars, the town will be able to spend more money
on infrastructures and other development. Moreover, in order to accommodate
more workers, more homes and stores will be needed. This will boost real
estate development in our community.
Some people say that a factory would bring smog and pollution, and destroy the
quality of the air and water in the town. While this is partly true, modern
technologies have made today's factories technology intensive and brought
pollutions to the minimum. There are also worries that the social structure of
this community will be changed and the traditional life will be affected. We
should understand that our society needs to evolve and we cannot always stay
in the old time.
Of course, there are some drawbacks of building a new factory here. But in my
opinion, the benefits outweigh the dangers. Therefore I strongly support to
build a factory here, and hope that others feel the same way.
