  1. Teaching Objectives

IV. Background Information

  1. Threats to the environment in China

While China's GDP has risen at an annual rate of 8 to 12 per cent since the nation embarked on opening and reform in the late 1970s, environmental damage has eaten away between 8 to 13 per cent of that GDP growth every year.
This is because virtually all of the country's key industries mining, textiles, paper, iron and steel, chemicals, petrochemicals and building materials consume large amounts of energy and create a great deal of pollution.
Therefore, the Chinese economy remains dominated by resource-hungry and inefficient polluters.
As a result, one-quarter of the Chinese people drink substandard water, while one-third of country's urbanites breathe seriously polluted air. Moreover, the country has recently witnessed a spate of environmental accidents. China currently suffers from one water pollution accident every other day. The resulting damage to public health is a major cause for concern.
Due to the failure to take the environment into account in our urban planning, China's big cities are expanding at rapid pace, using up precious water resources, and resulting in worsening traffic congestion and air pollution.
Meanwhile, environmental problems have been caused in many provinces due to their failure to take the fragile ecological system into account when planning the construction of power generation and chemical plants.
In view of all this, we should include environmental factors in our macro-economic planning. This, in turn, requires that a more rational strategy be mapped out in planning the distribution of major industrial projects and energy-hungry undertakings. This should follow a careful study of the available energy, land, mineral deposits and biological resources. Excessive and chaotic exploitation should be turned into proper and orderly use.
We should also overhaul the way in which land planning is conducted. This means that sector monopoly and administrative boundaries should be broken up and that regional and sectoral development targets be set according to the population in different areas, their potential and current economic growth, the volume of resources and the environment's capacity to absorb pollution.
We should also devise a new energy strategy as soon as possible. Industrialized nations have developed and made great use of new energy resources, such as nuclear, solar, wind and biogas.
In contrast, China's technological development in this regard not only trails that of developed countries but also lags behind that of fellow developing nations such as India and Pakistan. Using new energy is the only way we can pursue economic growth without doing irreparable damage to our environment. There is simply no alternative.
The public has the biggest stake in environmental protection and is, therefore, the biggest driving force behind environmental undertakings. Therefore, local communities, non-governmental organizations, business and environmental protection bodies all need to do their bit. Their involvement should not be limited to the traditional methods of legislation, supervision and making appeals to the authorities. Many other ways should be introduced, including public hearings, public welfare lawsuits, enhanced media coverage and voluntary activities.
Ecological and environmental legislation should be realigned and reintegrated to accentuate the environmental departments' position in terms of unified supervision and administration. This is made necessary due to overlapping legislation in this regard, weak implementation of the law and numerous legal loopholes.
A whole set of legal mechanisms involving ecological compensation needs to be introduced. The basic principle with regard to ecological compensation is: Those who protect the environment should benefit and those who pollute the environment should pay.
In addition to institutional hardware, we also need to improve the current environmental management system and establish a cross-sector co-ordination mechanism. For example, the environmental watchdogs scattered across different sectors should be unified. In addition, the bodies enforcing environmental laws should be centralized, while a research system covering studies of the "green" economy and environmental-protection policy should be introduced.
In addition, a system should be established to monitor officials' performance in this regard, and an environmental responsibility mechanism should also be put in place.

New media

People think of that the news media have influential people's lives nowadays it is a negative development to what extent do you agree or disagree.

The 21st century has witnessed the fast development of mass media, from the prevailing newspapers to the booming internet. Almost everyday, more or less, people are exposed to news media, influenced by news media, and even rely on news media. It becomes hard to identify whether it is positive or negative.

People who are bothered by daily mews media hold a negative view towards. They has a recognition that news media are distorting people’s real thought, and enforce a false illusion on people’s minds. In other words, the over commercially developed media are tend to provide information that people don’t need, and always are persuading people to believe what they says. Moreover, news media sometimes have a poor occupational discipline and a bad professional morality. In order to win more audience, the even fabricate false news, regardless what the real situation is. Therefore, a lot of people lose their faith in news media.

However, if we assess the function of news media objectively, we can get a conclusion that news media are generally playing a positive role, while sometimes make some mistakes. Journalists, as a whole, are professionally trained, and thus act justly when facing an event. With the help of journalists, we are able to get first hand information on what is happening all over the world, and we are able to enter the information ear. Moreover, news media are playing the role of an educator. In one hands, people learn from the facts through news, which indirectly enhanced their experience. On the other hand, most news media also have educational columns, enabling learners to have an access to a specific sphere.

In my view of point, news media is a propeller of modern civilization, although it may annoy some people. Nevertheless, If we took a macro view of news media and avoid partial recognition, we can find it not only informative but also educational.
