Advantages Disadvantages - Tourism in under developed countries

35. In under developed countries, tourism has disadvantages and can be said the opposite as well.

 Tourism for any country is a good source of income. But countries which are not well developed , may face problems due tourists too.

Firstly  with the rise in the number of tourists visiting a country , the infrastructure of the country develops . The transportation facilities are developed so that the tourist attraction spots are easily accessible . Hotels , lodges , shops and supermarkets are also built in these locations so that all the needs of stay and food are available to the visitors. Secondly , it helps open new avenues of income to the local people. They get jobs in the hotels and shops and hence helps the people earn their daily bread and butter.

Nevertheless , there are disadvantages to it too , especially to the under developed nations. For example , the tourists throw waste and rubbish around resulting in environmental pollution . There are increased chances of crimes in such locations as some local people try to steal foreign items from the visitors while some may fool them into buying things which are not worth the price . The local flora and fauna of the places is disturbed as jungles and forests are destroyed to build buildings and transportation.

To conclude , I agree that as a country’s tourism flourishes it creates opportunities for employment , adds to the financial income and development of regions , but it also results in pollution , crime and deforestation . Therefore , countries should take measures to reduce the disadvantages and help the country benefit through this sector .

Opinion - Overpackaging

7. These days companies are selling their products by extra packing to attract the buyers.

However, I am unconvinced and feel that the consumers should avoid purchasing such products as it is a waste of money and resources.

Firstly, over packing of the goods increases its maximum retail price.Hence,although the company is spending on the packing,it is the  consumer who ls at loss as the company sells the product at a higher price than needed and recovers the money spent on its packing.It is the consumers who should realise this and avoid buying such items.

Secondly, people these days buy food products that can be consumed on the run. The plastic and paper that is used to wrap these goods are then thrown around the place resulting in environmental pollution .

On the other hand fast food franchisee use various attractive ways to pack their products which then lure the kids in buying them.Children form the major proportion of the consumers of these unhealthy foods. As a result of the consumption of these processed foods there is a rise in the number of children suffering from obesity,diabetes etc.

To conclude, I believe it is the responsibility of the consumers to refuse products that are overpacked as ultimately they are on the losing side. 

Agree Disagree - role model for youngsters

6. Successful sports stars and glamorous film stars are a role model for youngsters. Do u support it or not? (Agree/Disagree)

Today’s generation is highly influenced by celebrities in sports and movies. They think of them as their idol. I think it has its pros and cons.

To begin with, following sportsmen motivates the youth to take part in sports. This is good for the individual’s growth as a person physically as well as mentally. For example sports involving teams help to develop social skills, sharing  and communicative skills . It is also a good way of exercise for their body. The individuals interested in movies and cinema tend to take part in stage acts , skits and drama. This helps them lose stage fear and fear of facing public. It develops their confidence.

Nevertheless, although there are benefits there are dire consequences to it too. Many of the sports and movie stars endorse in cigarette and alcohol brands. Adverts of these brands are displayed on media which are perceived  by the  youth as something positive and desirable. Hence, they too indulge in smoking and drinking. There are individuals who are adamant in achieving a similar profession as that of their role models and hence drop out of schools and colleges. This results in the rise in uneducated future citizens of the country. Some individuals who fail in achieving their goals try to commit suicide.

To conclude, I believe that the youth should be smart enough to select their role models. I don’t think that sports and actors prove to be good role models as they have more of a negative influence on young than positive.
