Two sides of every social event.

2 days ago, over 100,000 people gathered together at the Tiananmen Square to watch the ceremony of the rising of the Five Star Red Flag, which is the symbol of the beginning of the Chinese National Day. What impressed me the most is the 5 tones of garbage lying on the ground after the opening ceremony.

After reporting this news, many people have the similar comments: all of us, as Chinese citizens, should pay more attention to our environment and do not throw away garbage away where anymore. However, I do not fully agree with this opinion. I believe that if people do not throw away garbage anywhere, all the cleaners will lose their jobs and may leads to a more terrible consequence. In addition, other areas may have the same causation, such as the police and criminals. If there are no criminals in the world, the police will lose their jobs. In my opinion, we should consider two sides of every social event due to its effects on our entire society.
