Role of Ecology and Environment

Introduction
Economy of a country is a matter of prime concern, especially these days when every country is out and actively participating in taking the lead for the survival and to emerge as a supreme power. The economic development of a country is considered to be the development of the country itself. Though there are many things that has an upper take to the economy, still the country need to prioritise this in order to match the pace of the world. The market value, shares and dividends have got an upper hand over the priceless emotions, affection and love. Such an economic development is controlled by many ecological and environmental factors.

Role of ecology and environment in the economic development is to a great extent. Any country portrays its economy in terms of the available resources, which yields the per capita income. These resources are nothing but the gift of ecology and environment. All the living and non-living things of any community, or for that matter, any country, gets summed up into the wide sectors of ecology and environment. Both these terms ‘ecology’ and ‘environment’ coincide in their implication at many inferences. Let us briefly check what actually ecology and the environment include in itself, which has got a deep rooted impact on the economic growth.

Ecology

Ecology is the interaction between the biotic and abiotic community amongst themselves and with each other, thereby giving an entirety called ecosystem. Ecology includes all the forms and species of life, their utilisation, role in the environmental matters, impacts on the atmosphere, every possible aspect that can be collated to express a sound interaction. The ecological aspect of life is of utmost importance for the existence and survival of any species.

Environment

Environment is again a similar form as ecology. Environment deals with the existence of the resources of any form, its usage by the living species and their impact. Environment is more of a abstract term which can be better explained by the words like atmosphere or surrounding in physical world; or situation or circumstances, if explained in terms of vitality. Environment is the space, the void which incapacitates the life providing them a cosy atmosphere to reside.

It is true that the smokers cause some nuisance to the non-smokers, but this nuisance is physical while the nuisance that the non-smokers cause the smokers is spiritual. There are, of course, a lot of non-smokers who don't try to interfere with the smokers. It is sometimes assumed that the non-smokers are morally superior, not realizing that they have missed one of the greatest pleasures of mankind. I am willing to allow that smoking is a moral weakness, but on the other hand we must beware of a man without weakness. He is not to be trusted. He is apt to be always sober and he cannot make a single mistake. His habits are too regular, his existence too mechanical and his head always maintains its supremacy over his heart. Much as I like reasonable persons, I hate completely rational beings. For that reason, I am always scared and ill at ease when I enter a house in which there are no ash-trays.
