Sometimes difficult decisions have to be made. Describe a decision that you, or someone you know, had to make and explain the consequences.

difficult decisions are the reason why many things have been changed or affected durasticalyit was a difficult decision which influenced niel Armstrong to board a rocket to the moon and for Rosa parks to say she wanted to stay seated in her racist society and show to her oppressors that she was no longer going to be subjected to the oppression the her and the people like her were going through and the consequences in both cases being astronomical in Rosa parks case influencing many people to stand up to oppression and niel Armstrong’s case empowering a nation also furthering the understanding of the outside world to the human race. Personally I have not made any decisions of this astronomical level yet but I have made some important decisions but one decision I think has been the most important regarding to my life is the decision of my mum deciding to come to England to change her lifestyle in France my mum was looked down upon because of her being in a Muslim area she could not express herself as the person she wanted to be so one day she made the decision to leave her family behind and seek a new life in England this decision had massive consequences some to personal to right about but one which is quite big is my life if my mother nether came to England I would not have been born in comparison to the other decisions like Rosa parks decision to stay in her seat may have affected more people than my mums decision has affected me more than Rosa Parks decision which leads me to think that its quite hard to judge if a decision is important or not so I will conclude by saying that consequences make decisions important or less important but its also affected by the people who are affected.

Many people believe that it is our duty to cut back on our use of the world’s resources, and that we must invest in greener forms of energy for the future – whatever the cost.

Write an article for an environmental website which argues for or against this idea.

The idea that people have a duty to cut back on the use of resources and that we must invest in greener forms of energy for the future whatever the cost is in my opinion true and needs to be done to preserve human life in the way of reducing global warming and and ultimately reducing the strain on the planet so that we can preserve our species for a longer period of time. But i believe that the edition of “whatever the cost” makes me question Wether i should agree with the statement because by saying “whatever the cost” it could link to many things which are bad for other people so i personally agree with the statement partially but i think that it should not result in violence or harm to any one.

Many people could disagree with this statement maybe because they think that the environment is fine and the recourse intake is not an issue for the world. this would be wrong though because it has been scientifacly proved that the ozone level is thinning which has resulted in some areas becoming more warm or cold also the sea levels rising due to this.

ps sorry so short sir all i could do in 30 minutes
