All About a Dog
"All About a Dog'' is a story about a woman who boards a bus with a small dog in her lap. She fights with the conductor about the rule of ''no dogs allowed'' until finally she agrees to walk up to the second level of the bus in the cold air. But when the bus stops, the woman walks back down into the warmth of the bus and the fight ensues again. At the end of the story, we learn that it is a parable designed to teach us about rules. As the narrator says at the end of the story, ''Some are hard and fast rules, like the rule of the road, which cannot be broken without danger to life and limb. But some are only rules for your guidance, which you can apply or wink at, as common sense dictates like that rule about the dogs.'' Gardiner is trying to teach us that when a rule is not in place for the sake of ensuring safety, it can be bent or broken in consideration of another person's thoughts or feelings.
Answer:
Earth is like a patient whose health is declining and it is our duty to improve it. In 1987, the term Sustainable Development was used by the World Commission on Environment and Development. A zoo in Lukasa, Zambia has a cage in which a sign reads ‘The World’s most dangerous animal’ and inside there is a mirror. It gives a message that human beings are the most dangerous animals. Brandt Commission raised a question “Are we to leave our successors a scorched planet of advancing deserts, impoverished landscapes and ailing environment?”
There are four principal biological systems that form the foundation of the global economic system - fisheries, grasslands, forests, and croplands. These four systems also provide food and raw materials for industries except for minerals and synthetics. With these systems becoming unsustainable, fisheries will collapse, the forest will slowly disappear, grasslands will turn into a barren wasteland and croplands will become worse.
In poor countries, forests are being cut down for fuelwood which is used for cooking purposes. There are some areas where the cost of fuelwood is more than the cost of food. It is leading to deforestation at an alarming rate.
One of the reasons for the exploitation of the environment is the increasing population. It is observed that about one million population is increasing in every four days. This is not a good sign. There is an urgent need to control overpopulation in the world. Development is the best contraceptive for this problem as it will help in reduction in fertility, increase in education and income and improvement in health.
