Please can you tell me if that sounds correct. I'm a foreigner, and no one can help me with my essay. I just wanted to know if there are sentences badly constructed, or grammar errors, Thanks for reading.
"When the earth is severely quaked.
And the earth ejects its loads.
The human will wonder: "What is happening?" .
On that day, it will tell its news.
That your Lord has commanded it.
On that day, the people will issue from every direction, to be shown their works.
Whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it."
Qu'ran sura 99
From religion to science fiction, mankind has always been fascinated by the end of the world. It inspired the most illustrious novelists, and nourished the faith of numerous believers. However, we live at a time where fiction and predictions are joining reality as the world is being torn apart by environmental conditions. The end of the world is no longer a myth, and seems more real than ever: Earthquakes in Haiti, in Chile... It is now proven by science, and obliges us to wonder about human's existence, his sacrifices, struggles that might all disappear.
Some of us do not think that our history and our future is worth fighting. They only think about our present, pursuing their pollution in the name of economy. Indeed, pollution and land degradation, is the engine of the capitalist system today. If we stopped the operation of a sudden, as would any ecologist, the world would fall into anarchy. We have seen the tragic consequences of Black Thursday in 1929,that we were reminded of in 2008 by the financial crisis. We saw the real extent of his capitalism, and we paid the consequences. In Amazonia, every second, 1,350 m2 of forest cover is torn. This deforestation feeds hundreds of thousands of Brazilian families, and is the basis for many large global companies. Remove deforestation would plunged part of the world's population into misery. The entire United States is based on the exploitation of their considerable natural resources. Prohibit this exploitation, and it will plunge the superpower into total chaos. It leaves us to a dilemma:
Is immerging the world today into anarchy worth saving human's existence?
The history of human existence is full of struggles, wars, discoveries. Struggles against slavery, for human rights, the suffering endured by the discriminated, the soldiers. Mankind has restlessly been fighting to create a better world, one in which we live today: a world of tolerance, peace, freedom. Forgetting these efforts by destroying this world, would reduce the sufferings of our fathers and our mothers to nothing. We need to consider ourselves, for once, as human beings, all equal, and as human beings, we have the duty to honor the memory of our ancestors by preserving their heritage. The fall of Babylon has been a terrible loss, still echoing in the writings of our ancestors. Do we really want it to happen again in a far larger scale?
The first step to slow the critical situation, is to agree that we can't totally stop pollution. We depend on the exploitation of natural resources. Nonetheless, we should establish serious limitations, not optional, like it used to be till today, and make sure that those limitations are fervently respected. The best way to do so is to declare anti-pollution as a basis of the law, as important as human rights, because at the end, neglect is a crime against humanity.
Oh and please, can you tell me. If the university asks 300 to 500 words. Can we still write 536 or is it going to cause a problem ?
