2BAC WRITING: EFFECTS OF POPULATION GROWTH IN MOROCCO

EFFECTS OF POPULATION GROWTH IN MOROCCO

It's a fact that day by day population in Morocco is increasing, and this causes many social, economic, and environmental problems. The main purpose of this essay is to discuss the three main effects of overpopulation in Morocco.

The first major effect of overpopulation in Morocco is unemployment. First of all, there aren't enough sources of jobs in Morocco, so only the most prepared people get a job. This is a great social and economic problem because people who don't work get frustrated and can't support their families.

The second effect of overpopulation in Morocco is the low quality of public services. Natural resources, like water or food, aren't enough for so many people, so there is a lot of thirst and hunger in the country. Also, the level of education is quite low because there are a lot of children or young people who must study, and there are not enough schools or teachers. The same happens with health; hospitals aren't capable of giving attention to all the people who need it, so there are a lot of diseases.

The most significant effect of overpopulation in Morocco is the high level of pollution. Because a great number of people must go by cars, buses and taxis to their jobs at the same time, amazing traffic jams are caused. This, together with the noise caused by vehicles and people, causes a great amount of pollution. Also, every day people generate a lot of trash, and this pollutes both water and ground.

All the effects of over population that I have said make a cycle. For example, pollution causes diseases, and these diseases can't be attended because of the insufficient hospitals. That's why I think that we must find a way to organize all the people who live in this country, so we could live in a better environment and have a better quality of life. We must also learn to take care of the natural resources and think of those who are coming. If we don't stop spending our resources and polluting, the next generations will have a huge problem.

Finally, I think that Morocco needs to generate more sources of jobs, so everybody can work and satisfy their needs.

2BAC WRITING: RABAT AND CASABLANCA: TRAFFIC JAMS

RABAT AND CASABLANCA: TRAFFIC JAMS

Rabat and Casablanca are modern cities but also have a modern problem: traffic jams. In the early mornings, and again in the evening, around 8 pm, the streets are crowded with cars, buses, taxis, and trucks. In this essay, I will explain the causes of jam in these two cities and discuss the effects of this problem.

Traffic problems in Rabat and Casablanca stem from several causes. The rapid economic growth has enabled most Moroccans to buy their own cars. This has put intense pressure on the road system which is very old and has not been able to keep up with the expansion in population. Another cause is the absence of any major public transport system such as modern buses, tramways or subways. Because of this, most workers in these two cities rely on hordes of old buses and taxis of every sort, thus adding to the congestion.

The resulting traffic jam has several adverse effects. First of all is the frustration and anger felt by road-users. This can result in tension and accidents, and, ironically, emergency vehicles may not even be able to reach the scenes of such accidents. Another effect is the waste of time spent in traffic. This lowers productivity at work and contributes to reduced time at school and with family.
There are also additional costs to these cities in terms of air pollution.

Road-users will need to cooperate with municipal authorities as they introduce measures to reduce congestion. However, most people in Rabat and Casablanca are confident that these two cities will still be an attractive place to live if the problems of traffic and road conditions are dealt with in more reasonable ways.
