Should the environment be a big political topic?
he/she feels about this debate. In a study done at YouGov, it was found that females were
slightly more likely than males to believe that the environment and the economy were
equally important (The Economist/YouGov Poll, n.d.). Also, individuals between the ages
of 18 to 24 were the most probable to believe that the environment was more important
than the economy (The Economist/YouGov Poll, n.d.). Other factors could influence how
younger people were more likely to believe this, such as a persons political affiliation.
People who are between 18 and 29 are more likely to be democrats (DeSilver, 2014).
Democrats are more likely to believe that the environment is more important than the
economy, so this may be the reason why the younger group believed this also (The
Economist/YouGov Poll, n.d.).
In a way, the environment could be considered foreign affairs. There are many problems
in the environment such as pollution that can affect many countries. Pollution can spread
throughout many different countries past borders because pollution cannot see the
imaginary lines that people call borders (Turin, 2014). One of the policies enforcing this
idea is the Kyoto Protocol. This policy was made in the 1990s to try to limit carbon
emissions coming from different countries (UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol, n.d.).
Overall this is a great start to your paper, all of the ideas you are presenting, or going to
present are really good areas to explore. Just remember to include all of the MLA
formatting details. Also, your topic is very interesting to read about.
I altered a few things below. A great source for MLA format is the Purdue Owl site.
