As countries develop, more and more people buy and use their own cars.
Do (you think) the advantages for individuals outweigh the disadvantages for the environment?
With rapid economic growth in many countries, cars have become more affordable, allowing more people to buy them. I believe that despite the negative effects cars have on the environment, the advantages of cars to the individual are well justified.
On the one hand, some well-known effects of cars on the environment should be acknowledged. Cars are known to spew gases and particles that have long been found to be detrimental to our ecosystem. Condoning the growing purchase of personal vehicles knowing the harm they do to our planet can be viewed as suicide by some people. Another way automobiles might affect nature is closely related to their energy consumption. Despite the growing popularity of electric cars, combustion engine cars remain to account for most cars being bought and produced. This means more natural reserves of fossil fuel might have to be used to meet the new demand from new car owners.
Having said that, I still think that benefits to individuals are more significant. To begin with, cars allow people greater mobility; one can run errands and attend to their personal affairs at their convenience. As a person who does not own a personal vehicle, I am rather limited in my ability to move around or do tasks that might require travelling. Having a personal car also comes with a lot of comforts: air conditioning, access to entertainment and most importantly privacy. When presented with a chance to have these comforts, most people would not hesitate at the thought of buying a car. Lastly, greater demand for cars has led to improvements in car design which has ultimately benefitted car owners.
In conclusion, while it is true that cars are bad for the environment, I am of the opinion that the above-mentioned benefits they bring to people appear to be larger.

The first diagram illustrates how cement is manufactured while the second one shows the production of concrete using this cement.
Overall, there are about six distinct stages involved in the production of cement, starting with crushing ingredients and culminating with putting cement into bags, whereas the manufacturing process of concrete has one stage only. In both processes, a number of raw materials and the use of specialized equipment are required.
Focusing firstly on cement production, limestone and clay are crushed and turned into powder at the first step in the procedure. This substance is then mixed in a mixer before being sent to the rotating heater where heat is applied. Following this, the mixture is ground, and the final product- cement- is produced. Lastly, this ready-to-use building material is placed in bags to ease its utilization.
As for the process of making concrete, we can see that there is one major stage, which is mixing four different materials: cement, sand, water and gravel. Half of concrete is composed of gravel, while sand makes up a quarter of it, and the shares of cement and water are 15 and 10% respectively. By rotating these ingredients in a counter-clockwise direction with the help of a mixer, concrete is produced.

The maps illustrate a part of Dubai called Clock Tower Roundabout in the past and in recent times.
In general, this area of Dubai has changed from a rather unpopulated site to a busy and modern one. Over time, civil engineering of this place has advanced to a great extent. It is also clear that the number of cars on roads has increased dramatically.
Despite significant reforms in many parts of the Clock Tower Roundabout area, a few parts experienced no change. One of them is the Clock Tower itself, located in the center of the roundabout. Besides this, the road infrastructure surrounding the roundabout has remained unaltered.
As for the developments, by far the most noticeable one has been the erection of a high number of skyscrapers across the road leading to the north. Another change has been planting fir trees around the Clock Tower roundabout, but the bushes by the roads have been cleared.

The table illustrates the shares of women in top managerial positions in three different companies from 1975 to 2015.
Overall, the proportions of women in senior management positions in Eldan Ltd and Bamforth Ltd organizations grew markedly over the span, whereas the figures for Finsbury Ltd fluctuated. It is also clear that by far the biggest percentage change was observed in Eldan Ltd within the period. Interestingly, the proportions of women in major managerial roles in Eldan Ltd and Bamforth Ltd saw significant rises after 2000.
Focusing on Eldan Ltd and Bamforth Ltd companies first, the percentage of senior female managers in the former rose from a mere 3% in 1975 to a hefty 64% in 2015, though the figure stood unchanged over the first 5 years. Similarly, the shares of the latter organization showed an increase of 2% every 5 years up until 2000 from its initial 9% to amount to 17%, thereafter which the percentage more than doubled.
As for the percentages of top woman managers in Finsbury Ltd, by contrast, the trend was erratic. In 1975, the figure was 16%, but it had declined marginally to 14% by 1980. The shares rose noticeably over the next decade to 22%, before falling again to one-fifth in 2000, and seeing a rise to 26% at the end.
217 words. To me, it is an 8.0. What do you think?
