Answer 1

Answer:

hile modern societies face growing concern

about global environmental issues, developing

countries are experiencing complex, serious and

fast-growing pollution problems of their own. The

potent combination of industrialization, urban

development and mass consumption trends is

exacerbated by foreign companies operating with

little regard for the impact on the local environment.

Environmental pollution is more than just a health

issue; it is a wider social issue in that pollution has

the potential to destroy homes and communities.

Pollution problems are also closely tied to the mode

of development in developing countries. Despite this,

many developing countries either have not developed

environmental pollution control measures, or have

not provided adequate implementation structures

to ensure that policies are effective.

During the period of rapid economic growth

after the Second World War, Japan experienced a

variety of terrible environmental problems on a

scale unprecedented in the world. These

environmental problems can be attributed to the

prevailing emphasis at the time on economic

growth and profits at the expense of public health.

For this reason, the government was unwilling to

pursue environmental strategies. Worsening

environmental problems led to the emergence of

numerous victims’ groups and turned the tide of

public opinion, so that governments at the

prefectural and national level were forced to act.

Eventually, after much trial and error, effective

strategies for dealing with environmental pollution

were put in place and as a result the quality of the

environment began to improve.

By describing Japan’s experiences with respect

to the problems caused by the initial reluctance to

address environmental issues, as well as the success

of subsequent environmental initiatives, it is hoped

that we can help to prevent worsening health

problems in developing countries and promote

sound and healthy social development.
