Criterion C - The Impact of the Issue

The aviation industry is crucial for today's society. It's the key that connects the world together other than internet. Many major metropolitans rely heavily on it as a source of economic income (Marks, 2008). At the same time, the world is also heavily depended on crude oil to fuel the industry and if it declines, it'll have enormous impacts on corporations such as Boeing, Airbus, American Airlines, Emirates and British Airways. However, the environment needs to be balance if aviation industry were to continue because large amount of green house gases can influence disorders such as lung cancers and natural disasters such as hurricanes (The Associated Press, 2008).
Thus, these can hurt a country's economy in the long run due to the overspending in health and fixing damages because of hurricanes and flood (Grier, 2008). This can alter the flow of politics as more and more leaders are now using the question of environment to support their campaign, such as Algore or Barrack Obama (Dumaine, 2008). As new leaders emerge, foreign policies can change based on the amount of green house gases that countries produced based on their industries. Therefore, how can today’s society rely on aviation if it is the factor that can affect their health and environment? Therefore, new policies and standards should be created to fit the amount of CO2 gases released in order to contain the air for the sake of health and environmental security (Ewers, 2008).
