Imagine an industry that runs out of raw materials. Companies go bankrupt, workers are laid off, families suffer and associated organizations are thrown into turmoil. Eventually, governments are forced to take drastic action. Welcome to global banking, recently brought to its knees by the interruption of its lifeblood – the flow of cash. In this case, we seem to have been fortunate. In the nick of time, governments released reserves in order to start cash circulating again. But what if the reserves had not been there? What are we going to do when our supplies of vital materials such as fish, tropical hardwoods, metals like indium and fresh water dry up? We live on a planet with finite resources – that is no surprise to anyone – so why do we have an economic system in which all that matters is growth – more growth means using more resources. When the human population was counted in millions and resources were sparse, people could simply move to new pastures.However, with 9 billion people expected around 2050, moving on is not an option. As politicians reconstruct the global economy, they should take heed. If we are to leave any kind of planet to our children, we need an economic system that lets us live within our means.
- Hammaddesi tükenmiş bir sanayi düşünün. Şirketler iflas eder, işçiler kovulur, aileler sıkıntı çeker ve ilgili merciler de karmaşaya sürüklenir. Sonunda, hükümetler ciddi önlemler almak zorunda kalırlar. Hayat damarı olan nakit akışının kesilmesiyle yakın zamanlarda dizlerinin üstüne çöken küresel bankacılığa hoş geldiniz. Bu durumda, şanslı görünüyoruz. Hükümetler tam vaktinde nakit sirkülasyonunu yeniden başlatmak için rezervler çıkarmışlardır. Peki, ama ya rezervler olmasaydı? Balıkların, tropik ahşap malzemelerin, indiyum gibi metallerin ve içme suyun da aralarında bulunduğu hayati madde stoklarımız kuruduğunda ne yapacağız? Kaynakları sınırlı olan bir gezegende yaşıyoruz, ki bu hiç kimsenin şaşırdığı bir şey değil, peki o zaman neden tüm meselesi büyümek olan ekonomik bir sistemimiz var, ayrıca daha çok büyüme daha çok kaynak kullanımı demektir. İnsan nüfusu milyonlarla sayılırken ve kaynak kıtlığı söz konusuyken, insanlar kolayca yeni meralara gidebilirdi. Ancak 2050’de yaklaşık 9 milyar olması beklenen nüfusla bir yerden bir yere gitmek artık bir seçenek değil. Siyasetçiler küresel ekonomiyi yeniden yapılandırırken özen göstermeliler. Eğer çocuklarımıza herhangi bir gezegen bırakacaksak, kendi imkânlarımız içinde yaşamamıza izin verecek bir ekonomik sisteme ihtiyacımız var.

Mohandas Gandhi was the most important and intelligent person in all of India. Gandhi’s character was very temperamental. He was very kind and helped his country gain independence from Great Britain. Gandhi seemed to believe in using peaceful ways to fight battles, which meant he must not have been a violent person. This is also supported by the fact that he did not harm another human being once in his life (as shown in the film). He was also a very good husband and made himself be respected among his wives. He was a very determined man also because he would not give up on his cause no matter what. One event that caught my attention was when Gandhi was assassinated. The man who did this seemed to be just somebody normal who would have normally attended these gatherings and could have been a follower. The reason that it caught my eye was because I was surprised to see that none of his followers tried to take the bullet for him or anything like that. This film had a very positive effect on me. I thought that this movie was very educational and reflected a very sad yet joyous side of Indian history. I learned, from watching this movie, that a battle or war can be fought with no violence and a reasonable agreement can be reached without millions of people get killed.
57. It is understood from the passage that ____.
A) the film didn’t show India and its people
B) Gandhi was betrayed from people took sides of war
