Is sustainable development good?

Development of any kind that is UNsustainable is clearly BAD so if we can achieve development which is sustainable that will clearly be "better". The question, however, seems to require an absolute answer that it is "Good"...? The problem is in deciding whether such development is, in fact, sustainable and over what period of time The concept took hold in the 70s and 80s as a way of bridging the gap between fervent environmentalists (... who were pressing for Zero Growth of the economy to avoid environmental problems and resource scarcity) and Growth-orientated economists (... who said all our problems on environmental issues could be solved by getting the economy to grow to pay for putting things right). Rather than remain in a stagnating argument of Growth versus Zero Growth, both sides began to be able to have a dialogue about "development" which could be sustained but it is apparent that this dialogue is still ongoing and agreement is not yet achieved on what constitutes "sustainability.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
