  1. Interpretation

This essay tell us that human irrationality and irresponsibility for future children generation. Human beings are quite selfish and self-centred. They just live in the present situation and do not care about future generation. They had made CFCS gas to use freeze and computer chips and its harmful effects for human was already declared but after many years of harmful effect discovery, only then it was banned. We are quite different from our forefathers because they lived in simple life and were happy what they had. But today we are vile, corrupted and also destroy they nature. Nature has been giving us many things feely but we are foolish and keep on destroying it. Thus, we are degrading or destroying ourselves.

  1. Critical Thinking

In the essay, she only abuse the political leaders, but she did not see any fault in science. In fact, in this level, I disagree with her. I ask the question: who invented the CFCS? Political leaders or scientists? Obviously, answer is scientists. If scientists made CFCS gas, then scientists are responsible for reducing the ozone layer. Likewise she says that politicians just think about election and they are selfish and self-centered. Are all politicians like that? Are not there any honest politicians?

  1. Assimilation

After reading this essay, I understand many things about ozone layers, CFCS gas, ultraviolet rays. Before reading this essay, I was quite unknown with CFCS gas harmful effect on ozone layer. Likewise, I have just heard about ozone layer but I was not told its important role for us. Truly, I would tell uneducated people about the importance of ozone layer and would request them to use smokeless stove or gas oven preserve it. To persuade them to use such cooking tools, I would also inform them that if the ozone layer did not properly absorbs the harmful rays of sun, we would be suffered by cataract, skin cancer etc.
