Question

Man has gained control over nature and animals. This has led to ecological imbalance. Write an article in 100 – 120 words on how this imbalance has affected the life of man. You are Maya/Mohan.

Answer 1

Ecological imbalance refers to a disruption in the natural balance of an ecosystem. These may be disturbances caused by natural factors like a flood or a volcanic eruption and by man - made factors like pollution, hunting of animals, deforestation etc.
Man by gaining control over nature and animals has caused an imbalance in the environment. The imbalance causes man to suffer from ill- health and various diseases. Human health degrades at a faster rate in the midst of such ecological balance due to the decrease in the quality of air and water in which man lives today. The imbalance has also resulted in an increase in temperatures and a global climate change. Each year we experience the day becoming hotter and hotter. Today, flora, fauna and even the crop cycles collapse, which in turn affect many industries, that depend on them. 

Answer 2

                            What Man Has Done To Man

God created man as his most evolved creation endowed with faculty of reasoning, rationalizing and creating marvels. The journey of man from a wandering nomad to a highly developed, sophisticated elite shows his success story. However, can we call it a real success.

Man has harmed too many components of nature in his strife for this success. He has exploited mute animals for his benefit, used them for experiments, entertainment and profit. He has wantonly cut trees to make his life comfortable. Course of rivers are changed, dams are built on them to satisfy our need. Oil wells were drilled and mines were dug endlessly. The worst of all is that the increase in the population of man is far more than the nature's pace of replenishing its resources.  As a result, we have come to a point where our own existence is threatened. The extinction rate of different species, so many species on the verge of extinction and depleting forests are a direct threat to man because he has disturbed the ecological balance which is a must for sustenance of man and his requirements.

We can't undo the past, but we can endeavor to make the future better. Afforestation, conservation of wildlife, use of alternate sources of energy and synthetic products instead of  products made by killing animals like leather can solve the situation to some extent. Moreover, the responsibility lies on each individual to repair the damage, only then we can ensure a safe future for our coming generations.
